    ok, don’t force anyone to support a war machine they don’t want. don’t force anyone to support roads they don’t want built. don’t force anyone to build hospitals, or fire stations, or schools, or sewers, or cut down trees, or maintain a police force.

    what you seem to be missing is that I’m not literally claiming we should actively do things I’m saying

    I’m making fun of the ridiculous points by making equally spurious suggestions in the other direction. my intention isn’t to convince anyone that my comments are the correct course of action, they are simply mocking the ideas by parroting and rephrasing the sentiment.

        well, every religious text- including the Bible would be banned. Which I’m not that bothered if someone doesn’t read the Bible until they’re 16, but also I understand that presents significant problems for a lot of society.

        But also surely you can see the folly in saying “why do Christians need such a pornographic and violent book to praise God? Are they perverts?” it’s obviously an inflammatory and ill-considered statement

        And how are you defining sexual content? is “Billy’s Mommy and Daddy gave birth to Billy’s new sister, she is a tiny baby” sexual content?

        It describes a sexual relationship between two people, but in a way I’d consider appropriate for a 6 year old.
