I’m not saying the pattern doesn’t happen all the time, and I don’t think I was talking about civil disobedience at all. I’m talking about what amount people who are unable to deal with their own guilt and shame making laws that make criminals out of themselves and others who haven’t really committed a crime. If they were _actually_ Christians and had any amount of empathy, we’d be in a better place. But no, they’ve gotten all messed up because they’re not only repressed, they’re stuck in repressive religions that make them unable to deal with their own issues. It makes them lash out at others instead of dealing with their own problems. It’s a disease, and it shouldn’t be codified and the rest of us shouldn’t have to put up with it.
