California is currently one of only three states in the country — alongside Mississippi and New Mexico — that sets no minimum age at all for marriage, allowing a child of any age to be legally wed as long as a parent or guardian signs off. A bill designed to close that loophole for good just cleared a major hurdle in Sacramento, passing the state Senate on a unanimous 38-0 vote this past Wednesday.

Lol. Yeah. It’s funny that you have to invent a position for me to argue against it because there is literally nothing in what I wrote that you can actually argue against.

You have to manufacture a justification for your hatred, which ultimately makes you no better than the very thing you claim to dislike.

You genuinely cannot fathom that I can stand opposed to the same thing you do without blindly hating it.

That’s pretty fucking pitiful.

Also, once again, I stand against any and all abuse, sexual, physical, or mental. I do not support MAGA, religious fundamentalism, or right-wing extremism.

Also also, it is beyond amusing that I can explicitly say I don't support these things, and yet you keep insisting that I do. That's literally the only way you seem capable of having a conversation with me. You have a very specific thing you want to say, and apparently nothing I actually say matters because you'll just keep attributing that position to me anyway.

You have to be stupid.

    Once again, I don't "blindly" hate it when I listed several examples. You chose to get offended and attack instead of arguing ANY of those points.

    I hate religious people. But I hate religious people who act like they are against religion while PROTECTING IT.

    It has an unchecked pedophile problem. If any other industry had this systemic problem of child abuse and covering it up, we would dismantle the whole organization and be done with it. But, because of evil people like you, that lie, we are held back from any progression and constantly backsliding with the primitive and STUPID beliefs in MAGIC.

    If NASCAR had a pedophile problem, it wouldn't exist, if the NFL had a pedophile problem, it wouldn't exist, but throw in some magic and here comes the "anti-theist" defender of religion.

    GTFO

    You're still doing it. You're still making up a position for me that I have never taken, because you literally cannot argue against what I'm actually saying. You have to construct a position that is easier for you to attack. You have to make me religious because that's what you're accustomed to arguing against.

    But I am not religious. I have expressly denounced organized religion, including the unchecked pedophilia, indoctrination, and child abuse that you are pointing out. I fully acknowledge every one of those problems, and I agree with you about them. If I had the ability to dismantle Christianity entirely, I would personally do so. In fact, I am actively trying to undermine those institutions and ideas right now.

    I am not religious. I am not a Christian. I oppose any and all abuse, organized religion, religious fundamentalism, and right-wing extremism.

    So, do you acknowledge that this is actually my position?
