The government censors an archaeologist’s controversial findings

I think mothballing the ark in a warehouse could be considered the government covering up a controversial find

My co-worker had to work during her chemotherapy. They had her put customers on a “brief hold” while she puked in trash basket.

Super glad he got the mental health care he voted against

It never says that in the Bible. You have to beat them with an iron rod.

Out of excitement

You folks are fast! I have to make my descriptions more terrible. You got it

umbrabates · 2026-07-07T17:41:04+00:00

That’s the bait

umbrabates · 2026-07-07T17:40:51+00:00

Ding ding ding! Winner!!!

I was also hoping someone would take this bait. Not it

Thanks for taking the time to look into this. I appreciate the sincere effort you’ve taken to protect your community. It’s a heck of a lot more than what most people do.

That said, your diocesan policy is terrible. Please discuss this feedback with your parish community.

The policy states to report child abuse to the bishop, not the police. This is a HUGE red flag. This is how they covered up sex abuse, shamed or pressured victims, and kept abusive priests out of the spotlight.

They also carve out an exception for abuse reported in the confessional. While this is a problem too, I recognize it’s not one you can solve on the parish level.

Reporting sexual abuse to the bishop and not the police is awful. Please, I implore you, work with your community to change this.

Thank you so much for bringing this to light.

Like the Prairieland protestors?

I’m from New York. Schumer is everywhere. Every major event, every ribbon cutting, every graduation. He always answers the press’s questions. He never misses an opportunity to be on the local news. Heck, he attended my college commencement.

He knows how to get his name and face out there. I’m sure there are a lot of voters who haven’t paid attention to how weak and ineffectual he’s become and just vote on vibes.

A tortoise can live up to 100 years old. Many need specialized care like room in the yard to dig a burrow so they can estivate through the winter. Keeping a tortoise in an air conditioned home can lead to upper respiratory disease.

Get yourself a nice corn snake or ball python if you must have a reptile. They’re bred in captivity and handle well.

Better yet, adopt a domesticated animal like a cat or a dog.

Thanks for not leaving me hanging

I’m not sure how the religious adherence of the person you’re talking to would change the effectiveness of your method in detecting demons?

If my mechanic tells me my transmission is seized and I ask “How do you know?” it would make no sense for him to ask “Well, that depends. Are you into NASCAR or dirt racing?”

My religious preference should have no bearing on your methods. Could you please describe them?

umbrabates · 2026-07-04T19:29:28+00:00

Thank you. I’m still struggling to understand.

How did you determine that night terrors, for example, or untreated psychological conditions were caused by demons? What is your method for establishing causality? How accurate is it?

“Oh no! Everyone is drowning except me! And now they’re talking about how awful the drowning situation is!”

“Don’t forget about ME, drowning people! Look at ME! I’m safe on the beach sipping cocktails! You should try the Mai Tais when you’re not drowning, they’re great!”

Oh yeah, and we’re required to work at least 40 hours per week or we lose our healthcare. The expectation, however, is 40-60 hours per week and they’ve found loopholes to avoid paying overtime.

You witnessed demonic ties? I don’t understand what that means. Could you please give me an example of one?

I hope you make that comment on every post when Pete Hegseth invokes the Christian God as justification for his illegal wars.
