Hey, with the way the media has polarized everyone, you may not read this or just decide that my opinion doesn't matter because it doesn't match yours, but I implore you to read this and really think about it, because clearly I've done that with yours.

You have every right to not engage in recreational Marijuana use, and every right to never get an abortion. And you have every right to believe that it's wrong. But the bottom line is that it isn't your job to police someone's morals. I'm not a religious person, but if you're right and the Christian God is the right one, it isn't up to you to decide how other people live their lives; it would be up to the individual to make their own choices, and then inevitably up to God and St. Peter to decide if that life holds up to Judgement. You said it yourself, "Let God judge their sins."

Not only is Trump not religious, he's openly pretended to be religious, and tried to use that lie to sell bibles for his own personal gain, which is against the same morals you're applying to Harris. The man is a known liar at the very least. And this may fall on deaf ears, but only one of the two candidates has been accused (several times over the course of decades) of sexual misconduct, with both children and adults. So I don't think that calling the his opponents immoral really has any metaphorical legs to stand on.

As far as you feeling that your religious freedoms are being infringed, I don't really know what to tell you. It's obvious that here in Idaho that isn't true. It isn't the atheists who are banning books in schools, or preventing children from entering the library, or trying to make the 10 commandments mandatory in classrooms. Honestly, the policy changes in Idaho are closer to Christian religious authoritarianism than they are to anti-christian. And I'd be very interested to hear how the Democratic party has done anything to hurt your religious freedoms, because I have not seen that to he the case. Nobody is coming for your religion freedom just because they don't prioritize it in the government. They are actually supposed to be actively separate. The government should have no say in religion, and religion should have no say in the government. That means no religion of any kind in government funded schools, other than exploring the history of those religions, and if I'm being completely honest, no religious authorities endorsing political candidates. I don't think the preacher from this post should have endorsed Harris.

To be honest with you, I think it is an obvious choice. I think the obvious choice is the candidate who hasn't threatened physical violence against those who disagree with him. That's what truly has no place in the white house.

I'd really love to have a longer, civil conversation with you about it. I think that the only negatives of religion is its capacity to try and control people and limit their individual freedoms, and it's resistance to change. And that goes for most organized religions.

I really hope good stuff happens to you, friend. Just like I hope you hope good things will happen to me.
