LOVE the idea of being a "passionate agnostic" about other people's business.
That's why I insisted that my wife have a completely natural, drug-free c-section.
Sure: I love nature. But when nature wants you dead, fuck nature. Take medicine and science. Hell, if nature just wants you to be less comfortable than you'd like to be, fuck it. Take the epidural, and don't feel bad about it.
Sometimes I'm sad if I hit an article to early and I see your comment pre- shitstorm. I prefer to binge read your comment thread like a netflix marathon rather than watching it unfold over a whole season. Keep up the good work Cassiebear.
THAT'S WHAT MAKES IT SO MUCH FUN
Yeah, I think it's a phase a lot of women go through. I was totally a Cool Girl in high school. I thought that because I like football, video games, comics, and prefer whiskey to vodka I was different from the OTHER girls. I thought I could only get along with my select fellow Cool Girl friends as far as women went…
Your Just Another Criticizing Zombie Citizen.
Good, Im not the only one with armageddon related panic attacks. This hellfire crap really screwed me up. Well, not good....but at least im not alone. One of the reasons i turned away from religion is because i was tired of being scared all the time.

I grew up Mormon and Mormon's don't teach Rapture in a scary way, although I'm pretty sure they have some sort of twinkling that happens. But, yeah, I was told that if I didn't pay my tithing, I would not be one of the people lifted up but would remain on earth while it burned. From then on, I dedicatedly counted…
I think I made it to book 5 before my mom made me stop reading because she thought I was muttering "you have got to be fucking kidding me" under my breath more than any 14 year old should.
Only in battle.
I read the Left Behind books all the way through, and they scared my teenage brains out; which was probably why I spent my 20s as an atheist. I now judge the quality and learning of pastors and bible study leaders by how often (of not) they invoke demonology or the apocalypse to explain shit.

...Jesus. That's why I hate red balloons? Oh fuck. I totally forgot about that scene and always wondered why red balloons in the sky made me sick to my stomach.
But this Ham was so flesh that it transcended the laws of Kashrut. The Ham was with God, the Ham was God, and through it all things were made.
The rapture is when the Christians go to Heaven. The tribulation is the 7 (? I forget now) period afterwards there the Holy Spirit has left the earth and...[foggy details here]...and then Jesus (?) returns on his horses (?) and sets up his reign for 1000 (?) years.
I want one that says "In case of Rapture, I have snacks."
