Stereophile, etc Acquired

Wow, I haven't been on this website for a while and it looks like I have been missing out on some things.

I speak as a Californian and as someone who was raised Catholic, so I "confess" that I do have a phobia about religions. I'm glad that you left the west coast, since we don't need any bigots, religious or otherwise! I have been to Texas several times and I also have relatives who have lived there for over 10 years and are looking forward to the day when they can leave. So, I know something about the state.

"You need to be around "tolerant and inclusive people" so you moved to Texas? People in Texas seem to be tolerant and inclusive only if you are white and Christian. So I guess you feel right at home! Birds of a feather and all that.

How do you explain the bigoted and racist governor continually being re-elected? Also, 'The Texas State Board of Education approved a statewide reading list that makes Bible passages required reading for over 5 million public school students. The mandate introduces Bible verses alongside traditional classics and will roll out in phases starting in 2030."

If the state is so inclusive, why not include mandatory readings from other religious books like the Koran, Tanakh or Vedas?
Oh, but that would poison the minds of the children. Enjoy your religious "freedom" in Texas!

Thank you for proving my point.

You wrapped yourself in “tolerance” and then immediately attacked people who don't share your extremist views.

You claim to oppose hate, but your entire comment is dripping with it. You claim to value inclusion, but only for people who think exactly like you. You claim to be open-minded, while reducing millions of Texans to a lazy stereotype about race and religion. You claim to care about children, yet your side keeps pushes for the sexual exploitation of 8 year olds for your sick fetishes and sexual desires and ideology while vilifying parents trying to protect their children from you.

That is not tolerance. That your side playing word games to avoid the truth of your polices and stances.

You claim to care about safety, yet the same political culture lectures the rest of us while being pro-criminal, pro-rapists, pro-gang members, and leaving normal families to deal with the fallout. Your side is literally attacking police to free murders and rapists from being arrested. That is sick on so many levels. It is Satan incarnate..

Funny you're not upset about the 30-50 people who get shot EVERY WEEKEND in Chicago. Oh - you're ok with that as it's an inconvenient truth of your making and doesn't fit your talking points.

So spare me the moral lecture.

You are not upset because Texas is supposedly hateful.

You are upset because Texas refuses to bow to the fake religion of “tolerance” monsters where criminals get sympathy, parents get ignored, faith gets mocked, and children become victimized by your virtue signaling.

Oh, and as much as you hate God and religion, this country was founded on Christianity. Funny you're ok with pushing sex books on children but not the Bible. Talk about being sick and perverse.

People and companies are fleeing places like California, New York, and New Jersey for Texas every single day to escape people like you.

Maybe instead of insulting everyone here as bigots, you should ask why so many people are running away from the places that claim to be so morally superior.

Thank you for making my point better than I ever could.

One the best narratives I have ever read regarding what is wrong with these sick, intolerant, elitist, echo chambered, vision of the anointed cultists. It’s got to be a virus. Nothing else could explain it.

Hi. My religion is pretty basic and, I am told, is in the Bible.

Treat others the way you would like to be treated. The Bible text is "Do unto others as they would do unto you" I think. Best

I would agree 100%. As Eastern Orthodox we follow the direct, unaltered religion and teachings from 2000 years ago. Our services held today are the same as 1,000 years ago. We don't change our beliefs to fit what is cool or fashionable at the time or to fit the loudest most aggressive minority voices.

It has not been changed over the centuries by different elected men who change it as they see fit, it has not been started as splinter groups off other splinter groups off other splinter groups to be able to alter what they claim the teachings are.

As such we have spent thousands of years fighting the evils of those attempting to claim fake religion in an effort to alter what the original teachings were - sometimes through genuine though misguided ways (think the Iconoclast period) and sometimes through being the work of Satan.

As such it is our duty to protect from and call out evil. Sexually exploiting 8 year olds and making it so they are not safe in bathrooms in the name of 'tolerance' while falsely claiming to have religion in their hearts is truly evil.

Totally agree. Of course, the "person" with a different take, is from the "SF BAY AREA", pretty much says it all.

Plus, whether you are religious or not, the morality that religion has set for man, as you portray, is what leads to a civilized society, which some, like that "SF BAY AREA" person, chooses to ignore.
