The Oregon case decided Friday is the most significant to come before the high court in decades on the issue and comes as a rising number of people in the U.S. are without a permanent place to live.

    Think I will donate some money and my homemade scarfs to a shelter this weekend. Clearly our Christian government isnt going to help guess it is up to us atheists.

      I mean the “justification” used by the Christians who vote for this kind of thing is that it would be under for the government to take money from people to help others, and it’s up to each individual with money to give freely to support the poor, or whatever.

      That’s what they say out loud, anyway. So they can blame atheists for not giving freely. Never mind that they tend to give less, but

        Glad I walked away from that garbage faith. I have seriously heard their shamans claim that they can be awful to immigrants because the direct biblical commandments to be nice to immigrants only apply to converts and since most immigrants are Christian they don’t count.

        People arguing that you get to treat your own worse. It takes a special kinda fucked up to not even have basic levels of loyalty to your own.
