If no one taught you of the perfect imperfection of yourself when you were growing up, you got foxed then too.

Any time you believe something that makes you feel safer, it is likely that some clown with a lust for power and control is trying to scare you into giving up your freedom.

You don't need a benign patriarchal figure, be it a pastor or a politician, to make you feel safe. You are already a child of god, and there is nothing to fear.

So don't give away your power to imposters. Don't let them fox you.

And one more thing. America is about the freedom to live as you choose, and for me to live as I choose. Your faith does not give you the right to create the agenda for my life.

When you try to tell others how to live, you have become the very person our founding fathers were trying to get away from when they came here and founded our country.

So don't be foxed christian. Be a free American.
