SCOTUS has ruled that presidents are essentially monarchs who can commit crimes, bribery is legal, federal regulatory agencies have no authority to keep us safe, and homeless people can be punished for being homeless.

Is it any wonder why public approval of this court is so low?

That's only half the truth.
SCOTUS has ruled that THEY decide when the president can commit crimes. That THEY decide when federal agencies have authority.
This is a coup. The US is shedding the last semblance of a democracy. From now on, SCOTUS is the functional dictatorship of the oligarchs.

„Dialectical materialism works like cocaine, let's say. If you sniff once or twice, it may not change your life. If you use it day after day, though, it will make you into an addict, a different man.

— Nicolae Ceausescu, former Dictator of Romania, in Red Horizons: Chronicles of a Communist Spy Chief (1987)

While you are not wrong, I think the source of the quote also highlights the problem with it. ;)
(how very dialectical of me.)

As I start to post more about religion and the bible, I feel it may be helpful to explain why it’s relevant to me.

The short of it is that I grew up a Christian and it was actually reading the bible more closely as a teenager that lead to my . I feel strongly that the bible is not the “good book” and is, in fact, extremely immoral in many areas. My posts about the book will reflect this perspective.

I like talking about this stuff because I used to believe it.
