When I first started on DU I noticed that when anyone said "I pray to God...." Or "Thank God" then some kind of self-appointed content police would come along and make snarky comments about religion. Heaven forbid if you say something that is perceived as sexist or anti LGBTQIA, or anti Israel, and don't forget the Bernie Bros and all of those fights!

There are always those who have a single issue who will bash you and your opinion if it differs from theirs. Just take it with a grain of salt. Keep on posting. Remember, this is one of few social media type sites where there is truth and knowledge. Also, remember that we are Democrats who will discuss and argue about everything on our way to consensus!
