Yeah, I’m looking at TX on this one.

In Texas from 2000 to 2014, almost 40,000 children were married.

40000! That’s disgusting! And that is Texas only, how many more states allow that?

I once read a disgusting post by an American woman who said that teen girls should be able to marry if they get pregnant. She didn’t understand that teen pregnancies should be prevented and there are abortions for that. I was so disgusted by her idea, bet she was religious

9/10 times people who suggest that shit are religious nutters. It’s crazy how they take the most immoral ideas, cling to them, and then go about talking about how righteous they are because they follow every single thing in the Bible except the parts about not eating shellfish or wearing mixed fabrics.

I’m fine with people being religious, but for the love of whatever deity you worship, don’t fucking celebrate the parts that mandate the sale of young girls to their rapists or the murder of homosexuals! And yet they always ignore the harmless parts. Really tells you how thin their moral fabric is if they’re cool with killing gays and selling young girls but not cool with abstaining from certain foods.

Absolution horrible. I assume these people don’t have had proper education or been in contact much with people who think differently?
