I would say religion should be outlawed altogether, but then I think about the terrible inhumane things done to religious people in the Soviet Union as well as China.

As much as I dislike Christianity I wouldn't want to see Christians put to death or have their property seized by the government.

I'm only interested in banning those three groups, because of their extreme political clout.

Rather than banning them maybe we shouldn't allow them to have as much influence over the government as they do? I mean whatever happened to that thing about "Seperation of Church and State?" :?

I think taxing them all would be a good start. :)

Tax them 100% until they decide to support abortion, LGBT rights, marijuana, public nudity, and mandatory fornication.

I'm curious as to how banning religious groups could actually be implemented. Anybody?

The evangelicals want to control peoples' bodies. I say we return the favor.

I agree that they are very controlling and want to take away women's autonomy.

I'm just not understanding (brain not working today maybe?) the rest. You want to make it mandatory for THEM to fornicate? Or make it mandatory for everyone to fornicate?

Mandatory for evangelicals and Muslims.

How will we know if they're adhering to the mandatory fornication law?

Abbott has also made it impossible for attorneys to challenge the abortion law.

He can no longer be voted out, thanks to voter suppression. He needs to be overthrown.
