If you think "oh that's only 5% of religious people like extremists" then you're not talking about religious people, you're talking about avid holy book club enthusiasts

If this were 10 years ago, that would be very spot on. We do have to address the fact that society has changed a lot since those days that you reference. If we have a Democratic president (and we do) we have to seriously consider that the tide has changed (and it has). What bothers me is that the current trend in politics is kinda like a hipster movement. The whole "change" thing, like we just want to change more so than actually considering what our endgame is with the change.
We have a black president... not only can gay people get married but just by admitting you're gay now makes you a "hero"... confederate flags are banned... the majority of folks are cool with abortion... and so on and so on.
So why are people still mad about the past if the majority of people are so progressive now?
Is there anybody here that doesn't plainly see how the oppressed could ultimately one day be the oppressors themselves?
Before you answer, consider the lessons learned through our history...
