Matthew 6:5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.

It’s always “the damn liberals” getting upset. Yet me and all my liberal friends don’t give a shit what Tebow does. It’s easy for them to blame liberals for everything, when most of what they claim we are upset about, we aren’t upset about. They get trolled way too easily by internet trash posts, and then blame an…

You know if a fifth grade grammar school class could frag someone, larval-stage Jerry Falwell would be the chosen one.

Long-time higher ed person here. Most faculty I’ve known are lovely people and I am friends with many. But some of them are fucking insane. Some can’t write a complete sentence despite the Ivy pedigree. Some smell like old cheese. Some have a horrifying lack of social skills. Some fuck their students. Some fuck farm…

I wish I could remember where I read an explanation but the theory is that their religion is based on being persecuted and maintaining faith anyway. You can't prove your piety if you are free to worship unencumbered. So they have to make up this fake persecution instead.

Donald Trump has destroyed all the Republican sacred cows. From their self-righteous family values to their self-righteous patriotism. He’s exposed them as hypocrites and ruined the ability of any Republican who supports him to campaign on those themes. They'll have to pitch their policies and be overt racists. Good…

My fellow Christians are having the wool pulled over their eyes. This guy is no true believer. He’ll say whatever he has to say in order to get their vote, but he’s a hateful little jackass who is the furthest thing from Christ imaginable.

Frankly, his whole “One God” riff and “Make America Believe again” line at the end were quite alarming, combined with his past hostility towards other faiths.

I’m so liberal that I’m practically a socialist on some scales. Plus I’m a feminist.

I was at a cookout earlier this Summer on a trip home when a man who’s been like a second father to me said he was considering voting for Trump because he thought Bernie or Trump would accomplish nothing but Hillary would get through bad legislation. I knew he was conservative, but I was still troubled.

The kid in that segment made me so frightened for the future. Unless he develops the ability to think critically, for himself, instead of parroting every hateful talking point he's ever heard, he's going to end up a politician with a very loyal charged base.

Adjuncts are a different bag, but many tenured academics are totally rich, both through family money (academia notoriously privileges those born to the upper classes) and by household income compared to median US household income and US household income percentiles.

Why do evangelicals have such a need for martrydom? I’m sure you can find some instances of them being “mocked and demeaned” but not nearly enough to account for how often they moan about it.

But at least he was okay with gay people and premarital sex.

Hmm. Glass being a filthy person would be kind of fun, but my money’s on the condo board being bananas.

People who live in Glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.

I hear the next one will be the incest one.

I actually sort of appreciate the evangelical support for Trump. They might as well just come out and say, “Hey, America! We hate brown people and women more than we love Jesus!”

Which one of his wives do they like best, the one he raped, the one he cheated on her with, or the one he illegally brought into the country?

Yesterday, I listened to a podcast about economic class vs social class. It talked about how many people don’t see being prejudice against lower class people as similar to racism, because they claim it’s based on how those poor people act. One of the hosts said that racists do that too. They’ll tell you that they…
