The scariest book of the bible for me has always been Judges, because the repeating theme is the Jews being punished for, over and over, disobeying God's instructions to commit genocide.

People insist that Santa is white. Some say, he is Black. Isn’t this all just wrong? I once saw Santa in the internment camps, and he was most definitely Asian.

“Voting is stupid I’m gonna do direct action like setting fire to stuff” oh is that so, you just seem to be posting a lot and yelling at people on the internet about how you’re superior to them for various reasons
