Non-religious Republicans of Lemmy, how do you reconcile your non-religious convictions with a party that bases a lot of its policies on religion? (lemm.ee)

That's such a stupid take, I am not even sure where to start responding.

Of the many, many, many things one might reply I will just pick the simple facts that a sugary drink alone doesn't kill anyone and cars have a real and tangible use to our society, while selling murder-tools at Walmart does not.

And btw I am very much in favor of measures to reduce the damages caused by the sugar industry and putting strict restrictions on dangerous traffic.

    So, you agree with me in the last paragraph, but called me stupid first? Get away from that reddit mentality, friend.

    Cars are not useful to society, though, they are actively harmful. They create sprawl and discourage walkability, pollute with participate as well as light and sound, and as we were discussing, are the leading cause if death for children in the US. Cars are useful only to individuals, at the expense of wider society.
