“Defund the Police” is Misleading:
and an unfortunate choice of phrase

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on June 29, 2020 by Kelli Jae BaeliSeptember 12, 2020

Favorite Quotes

"Atheists are routinely asked how people will know not to rape and murder without religion telling them not to do it, especially a religion that backs up the orders with threats of hell. Believers, listen to me carefully when I say this: When you use this argument, you terrify atheists. We hear you saying that the only thing standing between you and Ted Bundy is a flimsy belief in a supernatural being made up by pre-literate people trying to figure out where the rain came from. This is not very reassuring if you’re trying to argue from a position of moral superiority." ~Amanda Marcotte
