My father was Catholic and expected to tithe 10%. They put everyone’s name in the weekly Church Bulletin along side of how much you gave that week. This was in the 1960’s/70’s in the North East of the USA

This. This is why having kids is great. Until they get to be about 11...

That is beautiful. Thank you.

THANK you for drawing that parallel. You are exactly right. Yet it is the most conservative of Christians who despise Islam the most. *shrug*

So much right.

I don’t think she did any shaming. I think you took care of that. My wish for you is that you will begin to see the irony in all of this. But again - Peace, and this time I’m really out.

Ohhhh... The wrath of angry christians, ready to smite. I fear that you are missing the point of the article. But then again I personally think that lots of people are missing the point of the whole Christian/Bible thing. The truth is out there.... And usually it’s somewhere between two angry sides.

huh? No church ever cut my grass, though that would be great. I live on a hill, the grass is pretty hard to cut. But I wouldn’t have wanted a church to attend to my entire family for months, or even for a day really. Bad experiences in that regard. But thanks for playing!

That’s the best motto ever! I am going to steal that and make it my own! Please!

Thank you. Powerful article that speaks #truth

I snorted my coffee. thanks for sharing. :)

You wrote this article because you wanted to share the pain... didn’t you?

...and Beaufort (¯\_(ツ)_/¯).

I painted my fingernails black last night, then chickened out because I work at a conservative financial institution - so I painted pink over the black. Now my pink fingernails are outlined in black! Yikes!

OMFG these pictures are fantastic! And your older dog has such an attitude! Awesome!

They have hillbilly family members. Duh.

That clip is so fucking Kristen Stewart that it’s crazy.

Goddess’ don’t age. yeesh.

Do not abandon your joy, for it is real, and it is important.

I wish I could triple star this article. It’s spot on. The entire thing is very sad, and blaming the mechanic won’t bring her back.
