It's about time. First, Christianity got hijacked by the Republicans who preened and postured and pressed it into service against those godless commies. Then millennial fever took over and it got really, really silly. And now that the fever has broken, the KIlanners and their brethren have hijacked it. It's just a wonder it has lasted as the majority belief system this long as a tool of sanctimonious frauds with boundless ambition.

The "Nones" are just rejecting exactly the same people Jesus did. I hope it turns out better for them.
