Religion is so wonderful I can't breathe.

It declares that it's "better that offenders should die rather than that all of us should be killed by God's just wrath."

The proponent of this act is not a true believer?

You are just posting flamebait?

None of the above?

A certain poster will claim that I am ignoring all the good religion does just to post flamebait.

The OP didn't bother to fact-check, took the bait, and got pulled head-first into the Tidy Bowl.

The fact that he can do this at all is due to California's byzantine ballot initiative process.

but Google Wonkette and read her take on this. "Matt McLaughlin's" law office is a mail drop, there's no record of any court cases in which he's involved, no web site, nada. Matt McLauglin, Esq., apparently does not exist.

This is either a false-flag black op or a spoof. I'm leaning toward spoof.

Great research on her part! After reading this, I agree. I think he may be a Poe.
