They’re satanic. their bible verses prove it. enough is enough. the world needs to wake up
Yeah Bob, because the New Testament, Quran, or whatever religious drivel is so much better.
Because my God/religion/religious flavour/ethnicity/country/sex/’gender’/ideology, etc. is so much better than yours.
Religions, fooball mobs and other groups show that people go crazy in congregations; they only get better one-by-one.
