my evangelical friend said "if you dont like guns dont buy one" six months later he called me over to fix a hole in the ceiling from a gun that was dropped and went off... i looked at it and at him and said were lucky that didnt hit someone that didnt buy a gun... he kinda looks at the ground and responds "real lucky"

It's honestly really sad that there will always be people who are going to disagree with everyone else just because they are brainwashed, having these ideas and opinions drilled into their minds, whilst believing them, it's honestly really sad. And no, i'm not old enough to vote, but i have grown enough to have the bravery to share my opinion, to not be afraid, and to feel like i can share this without people attacking me about it, my mother teaches me to be a strong woman, but how am i supposed to stay strong when i have to worry about shootings, sharing my political beliefs respectfully... It's honestly just sickening, and we have been trying to re-learn about political parties, and it's honestly sad how we have to live through this, and having to go through such grief and terror every day that passes by.

they are an irrelevant bunch of crackpot mystics that still believe in supernatural beings that control our lives. if they really believed what they say they wouldn't be looking both ways before they crossed the street, they would pray. lol.
