Andrew v.s. Conspiracy against intelligence. Something about other people's ignorance sets him off and it makes me laugh so hard.

people leave because it's not the truth. things like Gay marriages and other things are not accepted by God. and don't get it twisted God loves everyone, but God doesn't like the conduct people choose to live by. people really should try studying with Jehovah's witnesses. those people are truly backed by God. and if I'm going to participate in any religion it would be the one that's backed by God. and Jehovah's witnesses are truly backed by God. check out there website www.jw.org
