    Hear me out, I’m okay with the bombing of churches (not the senseless deaths). If Israel could bomb a church/ temple /synagogue / shrine until they reach the one that actually houses god, then we’d finally know which religion is real ( if any). /s

      How about we don’t bomb things based on ideology, even if the ideology is atheism…

      It’s a bit ironic to call out the issues with organized religion, and then go "I’m ok with bombing the buildings of those I consider ‘other’ "
