I'm so tired of religion being treated like a special set of beliefs

22. Moi aussi.

I don't care what anybody's particular kink is, but I do mind them imposing their kinky ideas on me.

I have this radical idea that religion should be strictly prohibited from being mentioned in political campaigning at all, as it is irrelevant. It should also not ever be cited as a reason for a civil regulation or statute, if we truly want to maintain that we keep Church and State separate.

And if a person's "deeply-held religious belief" prohibits them from doing their job, whether it be to bake a cake, register a marriage, or facilitate an abortion, then that person should show some character and find a different job. "If you don't like your job, put the buck-buck-bucket down," as the song had it.
