This isn't a place to speak negatively about Christians and have a powwow about it. The r/atheism sub is right there and they do that all day every day. That is your space. I've got like ten comments I do not intend to respond to, from several atheists responding antagonisticall…

I have tried to come up with a reason for these contradictions in the polls and election results but I have been unable to do so. According to current polls of Americans, only 10% of people approve of the job that Congress is performing. However, in the 2024 elections, each of t…
