no, religion didn't cause this, but the capacity to believe something to be true just you want it to be true (faith)--and no one's allowed to criticize your "sincerely held religious beliefs"-- 100% allowed this to happen

edit: finally found the quote i was looking for by barry goldwater:

"Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them.

The religious factions that are growing throughout our land are NOT using their religious clout with WISDOM. I'm frankly sick and tired of the political preachers across this country telling me as a citizen that if I want to be a moral person, I must believe in 'A,' 'B,' 'C,' and 'D.' Just who do they think they are?... I will fight them every step of the way if they try to dictate their moral convictions to all Americans in the name of "conservatism."

unfortunately, as of now, that fight is lost

um what...jussi is my favorite kind of pussi

i hate being stuck in a country that pardons literal insurrectionists and condemns whistleblowers. even before the magatrumpistan takeover, it was the same shit when edward snowden spoke up

late stage capitalism: every industry in this country that involves tons and tons of cash is both garbage and corrupt af. if there are any exceptions to this rule, please let me know, because i can't think of any

LOL as usual, trying to spin it like it's the people's own fault they're getting robbed blind. the worst thing is that the maga cultist sheep will lap it up like hogs at the trough, willingly handing over every last right they didn't even know they had, while calling themselves the party of "individual liberty and freedom"

crazy how such a highly regarded company known for innovation ~~and quality~~ became such a laughingstock joke to everyone except maga cultists in such a short amount of time

edit: lol guess not

lol i share the unpopular opinion, as well as the downright hated opinion of despising infinite. everyone fell in love with elizabeth while i was thinking "this is the most annoying npc in history." aside from that the game was meh af

amazing game. bioshock was supposed to surpass it but none of them did imo. prey came close much much later. funny though, how the wrench is pretty much the best weapon in all of them
