The Catholic Church has plenty of flaws (possibly the understatement of the year) but biblical literalism isn’t one of them. No priest would suggest learning world history from the Bible.

I also went to Catholic school and was taught a whole bunch of stuff is pretty much metaphor. I didn’t realize until probably my twenties that people who thought Genesis was fact even existed.

I went to Catholic school and they told us that Adam and Eve weren’t real, but just a story. Because if they were real, then there would be too much incest and the population would become sterile from too much interbreeding.

You read hostility into something that from my eyes doesn’t seem to be there. Global Beet took the time to answer your question, the courteous reply would be to thank them.

Amen. There is also the Safety Pin box subscription, if it’s genuine.

Congratulations to Ms. Heard on her relationship with a member of Trump’s science and technology council who underpays his factory workers, has spent over a decade making insane promises to start commercial space flight which never come to pass, and who once revealed a plan for a high-speed rail line between Los…

TJ Maxx, Marshall’s, and Ross are all having their moment in the sun. The prices are a lot cheaper than dept. stores, you can find some amazing bargains on designer clothes, and you can score 3.99 jars of dijon mustard with dill. When I need a retail therapy session, I go to one of them or to a local thrift store. I…

I’m still pretty convinced that Elon Musk is a real life Bond villain, so...

This is what happens when the middle class dies. They were the ones keeping these stores afloat. They had the income and more importantly, the disposable income to toss thirty-five dollars on a bedazzled shirt with a cute logo.

Maybe one of the real problems here is that regular people are economically struggling and aren’t buying as much stuff.

The idea that he had any other kind of picture in his mind that Nazi concentration and extermination camps is ridiculous and people should be ashamed for trying to explain this away. It’s not an appropriate comparison even if he wasn’t harkening specifically to the extermination camps and “simply” to concentration…

These are scary times for retail. I just survived the near-collapse of the brand I work for and while it’s a huge relief, it is bittersweet because so many of my co-workers in other locations lost their jobs. We have rent to pay, in some cases children to feed. All this has done is made me realize how little these…

Whenever I hear that name I don’t think of the clothing chain, though I saw their ads everywhere in the 2000s. No.

All of the workers are now free to snap up some of those great coal jobs, now though right? Silver lining.

I was never thin enough for any of the many stores/chains that are closing now. Schadenfreude out the wazoo right now.

He is old enough to remember when Alaska and Hawaii officially joined the union and changed the American flag from 48 to 50 stars. He would have been in middle school then, and it was bound to be covered in a (segregated) civics class.

May he and his progeny live in interesting times.

I had to google because I’d never heard of Leland Melvin—-now I understand why his first two google prompts are “Leland Melvin dogs” and “Leland Melvin married:)”

I finished my thing finally. It was supposed to be a fairly quick project to take a break from my bigger one, but my toddler is being a little butt about going to bed so I haven’t had any time to work on it.

I love Jason Statham and I love The Rock. I loved their scenes together. They are both simmering cauldrons of sexy charisma so YES PLEASE will take movie featuring only them doing some silly mission and giant explosions.
