Boltinhouse acknowledged the problematic posts in the complaint, but went on to claim that the real reason she had been dethroned is because of her identity as a conservative Christian.

I was willing to give her the benefit of the doubt right up until I read this.

The entire pageant circuit is entirely made up of conservative Christians! "Jesus" is every fourth word out of the mouths of those vanity worshippers.

I've found that for the most part, the more someone brings up Christianity the more they're trying to trick you that they're a good person.

Why create new news community? I'm tired of getting banned by crazy lemmy moderators under made up reasons for posting news articles (likely reddit subversive operation).
Also most of news communities are empty - this one will be full of content.
So i'm now creating my own community. everyone welcome, let's tear reddit down together.
