If you think moronic religous beliefs don't have a huge influence on conservatives, you haven't been paying attention at all.
No, I meant what I said. Surrounded by morons.
What you need to realize is... Most humans are morons. Not caring what others think can be motivated by many things, ego only being one of them.
I do not speak of being offensive, but people taking offense at stupid things like, "karen". Stop being an easily offended moron. It goes A LOT further than trying to walk on egg shells.
