gollark: Not ææææææ I must never mention religion.
gollark: Religion. Bad experiences with religion totally exist, but as far as I know they mostly make people, well, annoyed about the religion.
gollark: Consider. Poland's problems are partly down to people being wrong about things. What if they were *right* about them instead?
gollark: And more people being right is generally good.
gollark: But you can just... not do that, instead of blocking other people from discussing it with them?
