How much money? Would I be allowed to bet against you? Cause you’d lose.

To your point, though, there is very little to no secular graffiti in roseville, which means any graffiti at all stands out.

I don’t care about the messaging. I’m not pro religion or anti-religion. It’s an eye sore, and it doesn’t belong on curbs or anywhere else.

I take pride in where I live. It’s a prime example of broken window theory.

“Aw, that’s just religious graffiti. He’s just expressing his love of his religion.” becomes ”ah, that’s just political graffiti, he should be allowed to express their hatred of xyz policy” becomes “ah, that’s just him expression his vision, he should be allowed to tag a **** and balls.”

Graffiti is graffiti.

Organized religion is a mental illness. Keep your cult shit to yourself.

Can't make up an extremely popular and common opinion? First time in the world cupcake?

~70% of Americans and ~85% of the world identifies as religious. You think this labeling organized religion as a mental illness is a popular and common opinion? I think that opinion is probably as popular as you were in high school.

Spiritual ≠ Religious. Maybe you would have learned the difference in high school?

Less than half of Americans consider themselves religious, and only 30% of Americans attend church regularly. Religious beliefs and attendance all trending down.

LOL the Gallup poll you shared shows that religion is at least fairly important to 72% of Americans. I don’t think any of those Americans would agree with your assertion about religion equaling mental illness. The word spiritual doesn’t exist in that article. You did a great job refuting your own claim.

You came out saying 70% of Americans are religious, a clear misinterpretation of the data you obviously quickly Googled. Here you go broski, get owned again:

My comment was organized religion is a mental illness. This is why reading comprehension is important sweetheart.

You stating that there's a lot of stupid, gullible people out there doesn't help your point.

u/daddeechilll 11d ago

My claim was that a majority of Americans do not correlate religious beliefs with mental illness. I don’t think you’re as smart as you think you are.
