MYOFB

I am convinced that a lot of our nation's problems would be solved if everyone followed one simple rule: Mind your own fucking business!

Think of how peaceful life would be if religious zealots devoted themselves to their own spiritual wellbeing, instead of trying to foist their religion on others.

Imagine how wonderful it would be if all homophobes simply tended to their own heterosexual lifestyles, instead of incessantly poking their noses into the goings-on of the gay couple down the street, or on the other side of the country.

Consider the blissful silence if every loud-mouthed Karen would just STFU, instead of screaming at the top of her lungs about whatever it is she is pissed-off about that has absolutely nothing to do with her.

Contemplate how glorious our daily lives would be if MAGAts stopped trying to convince the sane among us that their crack-pot conspiracy theories are supported by non-existent "facts", instead of continuing to spew bullshit that no one with a functioning brain is the least bit interested in listening to.

It's simple, people. Look after your own property, instead of ranting about your neighbour's yard signs. Care for your own laundry, instead of losing your shit over someone else's pro-choice tee-shirt. Focus on your own faith, instead of vilifying the religious beliefs of others.

Stop minding the business of everyone you disagree with, everyone you dislike, everyone whose opinions differ from your own - and just mind your own fucking business.

You'll find that life is a lot more pleasant - for you and everyone else - if you can just MYOFB from now on.

It's kind of depressing, but there's an upside.

Some people also project peace and compassion. That's because they have a foundation of purpose and meaning in life, and don't have to cut down others to make themselves feel bigger or better.

But it's a "beat down" society.

The problem got worse when religions sold out for secular power and weaponized religion. And then "social media" where all that counts are "clicks" and hate propagates.

Who will lead people upward when it's so easy and profitable to play to their weaknesses and jealousy?

It totally boggles the mind that these clueless RW justices consider it their &%$! business to cause devastating problems in the personal lives of Americans - mostly women! - who they will never know!

I've always thought it's insane for all the conservatives to tear their hair out over what they imagine other people do privately.
It has absolutely nothing to do with them whatsoever.

It's like they invent a nonexistent problem out of thin air just so they have something to scream into other peoples faces about.

Freedom requires forced, bloody conformity, else why would Divine Fingers have writ the HOLY 2A giving the righteous the means by which to SMITE the demons who stray from the dictates of FOX. You must roll the coal and rip the masks and speed the RAPTURE of the chosen!

Give up thy mammon unto me and I will guarantee your seat by the THRONE! Major credit cards and Paypal accepted.

The demon heretic Nance is versed in the Adverbs and Adjectives and LURES the unshielded into the evil ways of liberalism using UNWASHED facts crafted to SEDUCE the educated mind in defiance of the DOGMA of the patriot! Seek ye not the DEMON portal of the underground, but keep ye unto the GAETZ of blessed ignorance and righteous, unreasonable RAGE against all things woke, for no mortal may know the TERRIBLE mysteries of the cursed laptop of the Hunter and the wickedness of the EMAILS that cry from the depths of the invisible pizzeria basement, Benghazi! Benghazi! Benghazi!

Let us now prey upon the magats crawling forth from the rotting flesh of the body politic they have so wounded with their depravity.

I'm seeing a Saturday Night Live skit taking place here, Hermit.

We satirize the Jesus cult, and the Trump cult, and the gun cult as a way to lighten up just for a moment from the weight of the very real threats we have been and are facing.

Nicely done.

When they send their missionaries around the globe to tell everyone that their way of thinking is the only way to think. Fuck that shit! It's been happening since there was such a thing as religion. Number 1,000,001 reason why I am an atheist.
