I don’t care that you’re a Christian, and I don’t care what the Bible says. I’m not interested in interpreting a religious text to guide decisions about real, complex political issues. I fully support your right to practice your religion and believe what you choose—but that doesn’t mean you get to impose those beliefs on everyone else. I don’t believe in Christianity, and that means your religion doesn’t get to shape how I live my life. You have every right to your faith, just as I have every right to live outside of it."

I need to take a step back and think about what they actually said and what they didn’t. They hate me, but they also need me. They want to control me, to break me. They keep bringing up my past to make me feel worthless—like I'm just a waste of time and talent, broken by something inside me "

If we’re using the Bible to label homosexuality an abomination (Leviticus 18:22), then I have a few questions for you. For instance, Exodus 21:7 says I can sell my daughter into slavery. If I had one, what would be a good price for her be? Also, a friend of mine works on the Sabbath, which Exodus 35:2 says is a capital offense. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself, or should I call the police for that? Am I supposed to gather the whole neighborhood to stone my brother for planting tomatoes next to corn (Deuteronomy 22:9)? And can I just burn my mom in a small family gathering for wearing a cotton-poly blend (Leviticus 19:19)? Or, and hear me out here, maybe cherry-picking ancient laws to justify modern prejudice isn’t the moral high ground we think it is."

I don't mean to offend, but I don't understand the claim that America is the greatest country in the world. You're not the only free country—places like Canada, the UK, Germany, Japan, and many others also have freedom. In fact, most of the world's countries do. Statistically, the U.S. faces challenges in several areas. For instance, approximately 79% of U.S. adults are considered literate, meaning about 21% are functionally illiterate. In education, U.S. 15-year-olds perform below the OECD average in mathematics and around the average in science. The U.S. ranks 50th globally in life expectancy at birth, with an average of 80.9 years. Additionally, the U.S. has a higher infant mortality rate compared to other developed countries. While the median household income in the U.S. was approximately $80,020 in 2024, after adjusting for cost of living, some states like Utah rank higher. In terms of exports, the U.S. is among the world's leading exporters but does not hold the top position. However, the U.S. leads in incarceration rates, with approximately 629 individuals incarcerated per 100,000 population. A significant majority of U.S. adults, about 69%, believe in angels. Moreover, the United States spends more on defense than the next nine countries combined. I'm not blaming you personally, but from the outside, the idea of America being the best doesn't really hold up."
