Man, thanks for taking one for the team and watching this meeting to report on its contents. Like everything in this administration, this whole team and concept is a combination of contradictions.
A group allegedly assembled for the purpose of defending the right to live religious tenets and family values, praises a man whose behavior breaks the guidance of all religions and shows no respect for marriage or the family unit. A commission claiming to explore just laws, is assembled by a convicted felon. They purport to ensure the freedom to worship and pray silently, when no one is preventing them from doing either thing.
People aren't practicing these religions because they can't. They're abandoning lots of American religion, because by and large it's by turns or combination, hateful, nationalist or fascist. People aren't against praying in public, they don't want their sports, dining experiences, shopping outings and other personal time in public spaces tuened into a worship service for something they don't follow. If no one's forcing your church to hold a pride pageant, no one should have to sit through any of your worship services outside of your church. I'll be interested to see where attacking Gobitis gets them. If you remove the ability of government to compel allegiance and flag salutes, you can't enforce the coerced jingoistic cheerleading posed as parriotism they plan to roll out either.
There's a direct correlation to the degree of public invasiveness adherents' performative religious practices inflict on the unbelieving in public, their insistence on coercing others to live to their religion's control and the amount of disgust non-practitioners have with those believers as a result. If they wanted more people to live like they did,they'd win more to their cause by not behaving like sanctimonious dicks.
Thank you. I'm not thrilled with how it turned out (I was in a rush and am running way behind), but it gets the message across and shows how important it is.
I am continually amazed at how many events, organizations and activities I've never heard about, until I read of them in your reports. Thank you for the information and the easy to follow attribution. Go get 'em, Arturo!
Thank you! This is a new commission. But yeah, some commissions advise the president on all kinds of stuff. The commissions I report on typically involve stuff related to the shift towards a police state, more racism, etc.
You consistently open my eyes to behind the scenes information that enlightens me. I do not have the stomach to watch the videos. I also admit that I naturally tend to distrust anything that comes out of this regime. But, I will promise that I will now follow the news about this commission and determine for myself how to respond. You have given me tools to work with. Also, I am looking forward to your series on the Cabinet. Please tell your staff how much I appreciate the work they do to support your writing.
Thanks! I'll pass the message along, but I'm obligated to tell you that I am solely a contributor to Unicorn Riot. While I have been working with them for a few years, I'm not directly employed by them. They are some of the coolest people I've come across in the journalism world, though. Their reporting overall is top-notch. Very strict policies for being accurate. I love that part. They make my work shine.

Your comment is sooo good.
Thanks, man. Your article is hella good.

Excellent reporting, everyone should read this mechanics of how the Christian fascists want to take over.
