120. because our country is polarized in everything now
* and cronies have changed the meaning of words...

bad=good
wrong=right

"Christians" are now thougth of as right wing fanatical fundie nutcases instead of decent people of faith....science & technology have been elevated to almost godlike status in the US and those who have faith & belief are made to feel the fool.

There are many reasons we've reached this point, but it is going to take us one heart at a time to change it. We are driven by fear and fueled by hatred. I am so sad to see my country turn into what is has become.

If we remember that underneath ...we are all the same...we breathe, eat, love and cry over the same things. Our hearts all beat to the same rhythm. We have people we love and care about....we don't have to hate or be afraid of others when we realize they are simply our extended family and there is truly enough to go around on this planet if we let go of FEAR.

I don't understand the reason to bash either...perhaps to make oneself feel a little "better" or more "right" in the choices they have made.....however, it reflects more on the one who bashes than anyone else.....
