15. So I can't say that fuck the Baptist religion

for coming out against gay marriage?

I can't tell the Catholic Church to fuck themselves because they fight against abortion laws and women's rights?

If they never told people what to do, there would be no need to have an OP like this one. Religion is shoved down my throat hundreds of times a day. If people don't like me saying a couple times that I'd like that to stop and I don't respect nor care about your religion, then that's their damn problem and not mine.
