Makes sense that he was Trump's spiritual advisor.
I assume he was also Epstein's spiritual advisor.
*Religious advisor, ain't nothing spiritual about a man who follows dogma and I'm tired of people confusing spirituality with religon
Two piles of the same bullshit.
Are you an athiest ?
There's a reason I hate both religous people and athiests and part of it is because religous people follow dogma and athiests act like assholes towards people they view as beneath them and insert themselves in academia where they don't belong
Both religous people and athiests have a holier-then-thou attitude
The word is 'atheist', you got the e and i mixed up.
I have not acted like an asshole, I have just pointed out facts, while the other called religion cancer. How am I the supposed asshole? Not giving in to bad arguments is not "acting like an asshole."
I also do not view anyone beneath me, that's a mean insinuation and most likely the beginning of a fabulous strawman.
What would that be an what does that have to do with anything I wrote?
Hating people is a bad thing.
