Who are the sinners?

There is no proof there is a God, but if so, what is his name? Is it Marduk, Anat, Osiris, Horus, Zeus, Satan, Baal, Mithras, Odin? Or they could have been ancient astronauts. The people who wrote the books of the Bible were self-righteous men, just like today’s far-right conservative Republicans. There is no proof that abortion or same-sex marriage is a sin. Those who say otherwise think they are better then the rest of us, and they are throwing all the stones.

Why do Republicans always pick on poor people? Why are they so determined to keep us in our place? If Gov. Matt Bevin has the guts, he should raise taxes on the rich, for they get as much protection and benefit from the military industrial complex, fire and police departments, the education system, highways and all public systems as the hard-working middle class does. Republicans are all about making the rich richer and the poor poorer. It is called trickle-down economics.

My great-granddaddy always said how ungodly and wicked the Republicans are, and they’re still that way to this day.
