One religion invented so an adult man could get away with molesting young girls and the other to create riches for Ron Hubbard. There are actual quotes from Hubbard to this effect and even so, millions of followers for both. All it would take is for people to inform themselves about these two religions before joining but even that is too much of a challenge for most people.
Americans in general love to be fooled , they willingly sign up in hopes of what I don't know but after having
lived here for forty years it is now clear to me that Americans have a bit stronger acceptance of con men than most of the rest of the world.
The results speaks for themselves because here we are with a con man in
the WH and don't you dare question their devotion to the lies that come out of his mouth because they want to be lied to. It is in the dna I suspect.
The Mormon religion has changed significantly since its birth. My husband's family is Mormon, and they're as normal as it gets...aside from not drinking coffee, of course. Let's not compare it to Scientology lol.

We adore our President and unlike your whole nepotistic kinky blinders thing you all wear on your sleeves the United Kingdom is a pretty and charming place.

As I said, cool the passive aggressive "we like you bs" and truly celebrate our freedom from your country of choice.

Cheers.
Is that the royal we?

I have never heard the word adore applied to a president. I don't like nor respect the grifter-in-chief.

Life is competition. Competition isn't always friendly or pretty. But it's absolutely necessary. The winners need to win and be dominant. The losers need to lose and either be dominated or just go away. We've tried to isolate ourselves from this, but it's proving unsuccessful. The only way to improvement is competition.

You are eating your own.
Maybe my English is really bad after graduating college (when English was actually taught)

What the Hell are you saying?

"Buffoon leader" is an opinion. He made a lot of anti-Trump people buffoons with his accomplishments.

Do I have that about right?

Is that the new moving target for cruelty?
Look, there's something not right with people who are members of a particular branch of christianity who look other people in the eye & tell those people who belong to other branches of christianity that they aren't christian. I don't like those people trying to get their religious views codified into law.
