It's one heck of a coincidence that children these days are completely lost - spiritually, mentally, physically, socially, psychologically. Look at all the poison the Left is pumping their brain full of. Then take religion out of their society...yes, it is going to have a negative overall effect on the collective well-being.

Now if they decide they want to stone someone to death then the secular state takes precedence and you convict them of murder. Simple. But some people don't understand the Constitution and what religious freedom means. It means that a woman can walk around unescorted by a man here even though that's against some religions views. It doesn't mean a woman can't voluntarily follow traditional Muslim values and not walk around unescorted.

Likewise Barr can have is private views that we should have Christian Law be the law of the land. He can even stand on his soap box and shout about it. As long as he follows the actual law of the land, I don't care.

Bullying is becoming a major problem escalated by social media. Not at all like the sort of bullying you may have experienced as a child.

And what has happened in the last 3 years? A sudden decline in religion? Or the election of a bully to our highest office?

Also what mental health benefits does religion really bring? Root message is essentially shame about not being perfect, no? Seek forgiveness or burn.

“Secularists and their allies among the ‘progressives’ have marshaled all the force of mass communications (media), popular culture, the entertainment industry (Hollywood/music) and academia (universities) in an unremitting assault on religion and traditional values.”
Now why would these industries want to bash and downgrade religion and traditional values I wonder...

.
But society has grown increasingly "progressive" over my life. So why is bullying getting worse?


I thought we were becoming more accepting as a society? Gay marriage, 29 genders to choose from, and all that.

Bully's voices/actions are louder, carry farther, and last forever on the internet.

Are you really going to try pinning this on a president you don't like? The trend has been going upward I suspect for this entire century.

This statement ^^^ illustrates perfectly the left's position on religion. The left wants to protect your right to choose what you believe but it does not want to give you the right to say what others believe, yet here you are lamenting what is happening to others - children in your post above. Religious freedom does not mean you get to dictate what others practice, only what you practice. This is a constant source of confusion by the religious right - they think religious freedom means they get the right to push their views onto others.

His opinion about how society should view "traditional values" and the like? Not so much.
I know he's the AG. A Trump lackey for sure. Shame we can't have an AG who actually works for the country.
