It doesn't concern you, Sister, that kind of absolutist view of the universe? Right and wrong determined solely by a single all-knowing, all powerful being whose judgment cannot be questioned and in whose name the most horrendous acts can be sanctioned without appeal?
Being required by someone else’s religious beliefs to behave contrary to one’s sexual identity is degrading and disrespectful.
"Democracy is the only system of government where the majority of the population get to be the dictators, rather than the dictated. This is why it is considered the best form of government."-Me, just now, to myself
"Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time."
Life for the sake of life means nothing.

Derogatory racial terms have power only when used by someone they don't denigrate, obviously.I know, but I put it here more for the overall message: that there's no reason for a white person to say the n-word unless they're a racist douche.
