Reply #9: Its fake self-righteousness [View All]

[RethugAssKicker]

What do you actually mean by severe. I assume you mean intolerant, sanctimonious, holy than thou..etc..etc.

Well, this can be a very long discussion. But briefly, I think it comes from the self-denying, blame others, ignorant attitude of Americans in general. They used religion (especially in the South) to compensate for their evil doings. Up to today, many will not admit their wrongs for slavery, the Jim Crow era, the eradication of Native Americans..etc....

So, they wrap themselves in a self-righteous religion and a false sense of patriotism in order to make themselves feel good and HOLY. This, they feel will make up for all the shit they give others, especially those of color.... This behavior is most visible in the conservative (Republican) segment of American society.
