      @7ine 5 лет назад +3

      That makes no sense, I was actually born in America, have lived here my entire life, and respect everyone. No one said anything about not respecting Americans, I've respected every culture my whole life and have helped countless Americans through tough times. America was started as a Christian country, we Christians pray. Why do you think Christmas exists? It's religious and the birthday of Jesus.

      @7ine 5 лет назад +1

      once again, we aren't anti-American, this country is open to everyone, and most presidents, celebrities, athletes, people you find on the street, are Christian we never said anything about being anti-American or hating gays, I myself am great friends with a group of about 15 LGBTQ+ members. Please just stop making false accusations of us. If you aren't Christian, good for you, that's who you are. But don't go hating on Christians especially because without us, America wouldn't exist, Christmas wouldn't exist, NASCAR wouldn't exist, and we wouldn't be even close to where we are in society right now. You can have your opinions, but don't hate on us for ours.
