Fuck Greg “Hot Wheels” Abbott. If we survive long enough for elections to still be a thing, I can’t wait to vote against him in 2026.

Separation of church and state has only ever been for the "wrong" religions and those that have left it behind altogether. Makes sense, the rich and powerful would prefer that people stay as stupid as possible, rally around a dictator, and worship an easily controlled victim mentality religion.

Guess we'll have to lobby for having a statue of Baphomet in every classroom as well.

So, 7 tenets too right?

I

One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason.

II

The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.

III

One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.

IV

The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one's own.

V

Beliefs should conform to one's best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one's beliefs.

VI

People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one's best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused.

VII

Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.
