I’m Sick of Your Religion!
Dear Editor,
I’ll say it: I’m sick of you pushing your religion on me and propagating it in the public square.
I’m sick of you thumping your religious books telling me I’m evil because I don’t believe in your god. I’m sick of you telling me that simply because I don’t believe like you that I am an evil person worthy of death and hell. I’m sick of your intolerance.
I’m sick of your acolytes gaining positions in government and schools trying to proselytize my children into your fairy tales. I’m sick of you justifying your destructive actions by some so-called authorities that designed your ideas and lies.
I’m sick of the followers looking down on me because I dared not express my utter faith and confidence in your religion. I’m sick of seeing the leaders of your religion earn money hand-over-fist from poor people who seem to know no better than to sign over their livelihoods to the purveyors of your so-called gospel.
I’m sick of seeing the hypocrisy of your followers preaching one way but living another. I’m sick of your followers demanding that I conform to your belief structure or suffer the consequences. I’m sick of ideological terrorists called “teachers” infiltrating the schools propagandizing children to believe in dangerous ideas that have destroyed entire cultures.
I’m sick of your “god” condescendingly wagging the finger at me for living my life. I’m sick of your followers interjecting themselves and their lunatic ideas in my bedroom, business, family, finances and job demanding I repeat the mantra and embrace the doctrine.
See, if you read this far, you might think I am talking about Christians. You would be wrong. Christians, generally, want freedom and to stay out of everyone’s business while loving you enough to tell you the truth of Christ’s love and forgiveness. No, I’m addressing the cult of wokeness. Woke acolytes are insufferable, pushing their religion on everyone, demanding we conform and, if we do not, we are deemed evil and they will cancel and destroy us.
Your Robin D’Angelo and Ibram X. Kendi religious tomes are nothing but inarticulate, pedantic rubbish that deserve the trash piles of history. Your acolytes in government schools are proselytizing children every day while you scream bloody murder if a Christian prays. Your religious leaders like Patrice Cullors of Black Lives Matter are stealing money from poor, unsuspecting imbeciles to live high on the hog in mansions in Malibu.
You have brought your bedrooms into the public by preaching your deluded ideas that a man can be a woman and vice versa while demanding I subscribe to those same delusions. If I side with reality and biology, I and anyone or anything associated with me am deemed evil and worthy of destruction.
Indeed, wokeness is a religious cult. It has infiltrated our schools which should not cater to a religion. It is time we the people started suing our school board for turning a blind eye to and even promoting this religion. Time for a New Vision and New Direction for our schools in November. Vote Welborn, Pratt, Andrew, Millican and Carter.

Sorry the injustice to others is inconvenient to you. Guess you aren’t a Christian yourself.
Sure, like Christianity, the civil rights movement has it bad actors as well. BLM is a fair example. But trying to say that being woke (I assume you mean believing that racial discrimination and racial bias is still a significant issue in this country), is a distraction in schools…? That is just the Right Wing Sheppard’s call to their sheep. Don’t be a sheep.
Keep an open mind, get to know your neighbors from different cultures and be willing to have uncomfortable conversations. It can be eye opening.
chris please read Mr. Baileys response and if you need too read it twice, print it off, staple it to your forehead or your arse just read for comprehension we are tired of the “wokeness” of the left. Get over it
I am tired of your bigoted points of view that believe people of color receive a fair shake in our society. While certainly better than the sixties, based on your continued open bigotry, we have much work to do.
Signed…..proud to be woke.
It’s strange that “people of color” all over the world risk their lives every day to get to America, and the UK, and other white Christian countries, isn’t it?
Hallelujah finally a voice of reason. As far as I’m concerned the “woke” crowd can ki$$ my proud WHITE A$$. I’ll speak my mind, fly any flag I want to, vote no on all tax increases and any new school bonds. I’ll vote yes for Donald Trump again.
Two thumbs up!
Mr. Stegall is 100% spot-on in his assessment of the “woke” culture. Unfortunately there are a lot of sheeple who blindly follow the dictates of the ivory tower control freaks from Hell who are on a major power trip. These sheeple validate the view that I have held for a long time in that the sociocommunistic philosophy is the grossest form of stupidity ever inflicted upon humanity. Marx once said that religion is the opiate of the masses. I’ve said in the past that socialism is the opiate of the ignorant and lazy and the tonic that fuels the control freaks. I am awake but not “woke.” Sadly though, there are a lot of sheeple who are still very much asleep. The only way they will ever be truly awakened is when the “woke” control freaks can be removed from power
The call of the modern right wingers to their sheeple is CRT. A very technical study of racism’s impact on current legal standards from law school that they now claim is taught in elementary schools. What a joke. CRT is just a sheeple call for white old men tired of having to address racial bias and racism in society.
I Agree 100%!
I wonder if anyone, like me has noticed that the city streets and roads are awful. I see no attempt to correct nor repair them while loads of money is being spent, or requested for housing, schools, tax free enterprises, low income projects etc. It is dangerous to travel in this city, and expensive to repair the damage caused due to the conditions.
chris please read Mr. Baileys response and if you need too read it twice, print it off, staple it to your forehead or your arse just read for comprehension we are tired of the “wokeness” of the left. Get over it
I’ve noticed and agree 100% but that squeaky wheel won’t be greased because it’s not a headline. How about the headline of two teenagers killed in Philadelphia at a party with 200 under age kids drinking,doing drugs,and as the Police chief said a lot of thug activity. Over 90 shots fired. Wanna guess their race OK you got me they were black. What a shock. Where’s the BLMs outrage over this. Ask the “woke “ crowd about this chris
Yes, my auto is beaten up every time I drive on the worst (Greensboro) streets of anywhere I have ever lived (all over the U.S.). It takes forever for street work to be completed. By the time they finish, they need to start over!
Greensboro wants to give, give, give to the supposedly unfortunate. Those folks show up at the food handouts in large expensive SUVs (Escalades, etc.) and take home numerous boxes of food. I’m comfortably retired; worked for MY money. I’ve never taken a handout in my entire life.
Rick Stegall – excellent letter!
Maurice, you took the words right out of my mouth. When I first moved here, I emailed my nephew in NJ and commented to him that our streets were as smooth as glass, potholes were remedied within 24 hours of reporting, so on and so forth. Today, however, I cannot drive 50 yards without hitting a pothole, one of which knocked the side mirror off my vehicle!
We did it in the past and need to reinstate our priorities and make an effort in bringing the streets back to when they were drivable. And no excuses about costs. After all, the taxes continuously rise to cover inflation. And what of the fees collected by DMV for licenses, registrations, and, don’t forget, that “Greensboro Vehicle Fee” which TRIPLED not so long ago. Let’s investigate and actually resurface our streets.
Maurice, don’t you know the city leaders want to spend the money on parks & walking trails, give $500,000 away for citizen pet projects, etc?
I agree with the pot-holes, but if they paved more of the streets vs just a pot hole here and there, there wouldn’t be money for those lame-brained sidewalks which are put in area where people don’t walk.
Amen!
Great article Rick,it is time someone called out the stupid and imbecile’s that are spewing out hate in America.Our biggest problems are these Democrats that if everyone doesn’t agree with them they begin spewing hate speech at you:You are Racist,you hate black people ,you hate everything and everybody.This is the lowest I have seen the Democrats stoop .This is the most cruel and sickest group of people EVER..I am above 70 years old and I have never seen them act so bad.
When I was small , there was not much difference in the Dems and Reps.The main concern was Their constituents back home .But now everyone is on a path to be like Joe ,Nancy,Maxine,,Schumer, Bernie.These people should have been long gone but you had no Replacement for them .Your replacement’s are Harris ,Buttijed Whitehouse,and Klobachar.I am truly sorry to say for the first time in my life I am disappointed in a group of people that are doing their level best to destroy America.Number ONE: border,No.2 the economy,No.3 inflation. Need I go on to the weakness that is seen by every communist nation in the world.No one listen ‘s to our President. Anymore.
The puppet masters are making a mockery out of our president because he is incompetent and they make matters worse.Joe can’t even follow their script.I have never seen an American President say to newsmen I can’t answer questions because my Puppetmaster says I can’t!!!!!!!! We as Americans have to clean house and get someone in power who can govern America before we are to late .Joe is and always governing from behind ,he is never out front of any conflict or disagreement in the world.
Please America stand up and let’s clean house once and for always.
It would be great at this time and for the near future to vote in competent people. To govern America.
The idea of being woke is that you respect the unique challenges faced by those in the minorities communities. If you claim being woke is evil and bad, then you are likely a big part of problem. Pointing out our society’s ongoing issues with racism, classism, sexism, and culturalism is not hate speech. When someone points out offensive behavior, only the bigot takes that hate speech. Don’t be a bigot, take the opportunity to listen, learn and grow. If you don’t agree with the remediation, get involved in the conversation and offer alternatives.
And yet you take every opportunity to discredit the white race and point out how terrible it’s been made for blacks. I’d say that’s a tad hypocritical on your part. You don’t like when someone says the black community should help themselves instead you cry racist. You don’t like it when someone says the black community is getting fleeced by the very people that are supposed to be helping them, again it’s a racist remark. No appeasing you. A person who doesn’t help themselves cannot be helped, only carried. It’s not only about black people; this article covers so much more. Can you not see that?? Perhaps you should have conversations with the very people you seem to disdain so much instead of calling them names. The road works both ways.
You’re right Sillywabbit, but that’s exactly why Chris opines here so incessantly. It is so that he can feel superior by putting other people down.
He’s not interested in debate. When he loses the argument, he just disappears from the thread, and starts again elsewhere. Arguing with an idiot is like Whack-A-Mole.
“. . . . .take the opportunity to listen, learn and grow. If you don’t agree with the remediation, get involved in the conversation and offer alternatives.”
Chris? Maybe you should practice this as well.
I love this!! And I love Jesus!! I am a conservative black man. Thank you, Mr. Stegall, for speaking up!!
Judge things on their merits . Be a leader .
Actually, I thought you were talking about Muslims.
Really.
When I started reading this I thought… pretty sure you’re talking about the left… I was correct. How do people not see what is being done to our economy and that the government wants people to depend on them? Great writing!
