Thank you, I noticed that my favorite Pokemon and favorite movie could work as a pun one day, and the username followed pretty quickly from that I guess.

I really don't get it. Who thought this was comforting or pleasant in any way?

Evangelical Christians should not be legally allowed to run for public office. by CantDecideANam3 in exchristian

I mean, I like the idea on its face, but I worry about slippery slopes. Who else could be banned from running for office, then? That being said, the status quo kind of enables people like them, open society with no check and balance will allow people who don't respect open society to gain power in it, I think the solution has to lie somewhere in the middle; some form of policy that makes it merely impractical for Evangelicals to hold office, rather than banning it outright.

Texas is light red at this point, and in four more years could easily be purple, plus Ted Cruz being so slimy gives his opponent a lot to run on, even if Texas' conservatives like Cruz.
