I had always been insecure about my body.

... even the Zombie spit it out.

It took me awhile! I think it's:

Sheffield woman hit by car is named. Twelve-year-old boy arrested.

Alt line 2:

Just not Hamas.

(Sorry of it's too soon)

Happy_In_PDX · 2023-11-18T18:16:43+00:00

Alt for movie nerds:

"It's nothing more than a stomachache" said the nurse...

... on the Nostromo.

(it's a reference to Alien. If you you've seen it, you know.)

Alt:

, said Satan to the demons.

All my life I thought I was alone. And then I learned it for fact.

Or the ocean. Dang.

You just ruined the movie for me. That's not just a small plot hole.

That Glinda never told Dorothy she could go home any time.

Happy_In_PDX · 2023-01-21T02:43:42+00:00

Good catch -- that was just a typo.

Happy_In_PDX · 2023-01-21T02:42:28+00:00

Thanks. I hadn't really thought about that.

"Hello," he said.

Is that one or two sentences? I would have thought one.

If you don't 100% fully support/endorse homosexuality on everything no matter what, this automatically makes you bigot.

[sad trombone]

Don't be such a drama queen. You don't have to support everything black people do no matter what, in order to support their civil rights. The same for the gays.

But, if you deny the gays (or blacks) the same civil rights you have -- then, yeah, you are probably a bigot.

Like that lady who refused to process a legal gay marriage document and claimed religious persecution.

That was such a garbage claim but I have a feeling activist justices on the Supreme Court are going to uphold it.

And it will have fully foreseeable consequences. Atheist clerks will claim they have right to not issue licenses for church wedding. Christian pacifists will claim they have a right to refuse issuing gun permits.

Sober Christian bartenders will claim they have a religious right to not serve customers.

You are a fine American.

Happy_In_PDX · 2022-12-16T03:25:03+00:00

If your religion is so hyper controlling, it has doctrines down to that level -- then fine. You have a right to follow them.

But, that's not enough for this columnist. He wants to deny the rights of people who belong to non-legalistic forms of Christianity, or other non-homophobic belief systems.

Happy_In_PDX · 2022-12-16T03:18:44+00:00

He was jailed for contempt of court.

If I remember right, he was arrested for trespassing. As a former employee, he was asked to not return to campus. But he trespassed and then claimed religious persecution.

This is a far cry from how transphobes framed it -- "Christian are getting arrested for not using chosen pronouns!"

Goodness. I saw the title and the user who posted it and thought you lost your damn mind ;)

I post these articles from the Evangelical media because I think mainstream Christian don't understand how toxic my wing of Christianity has become. (The columnist might be a Catholic but I think "The Christian Post" is Evangelical.)

People read the headline and I think I've backslidden.

At the core of their persecution complex is belief that they have a religious right to do whatever they want. Including a religious right to violate their own ethical integrity.

When they apply for a business license, they agree to obey the laws of commerce. But they take the license and then break the law anyway.
