Ooh I hope you said that! I don't know how they could come up with a reply to that. Whenever people say that to me, I'm always in such a state of facepalm-resistance that I can't form words. But seriously as you said, it has horrible implications. If God saves someone but not someone else, the one he saved is somehow…

Agreed!

I laughed out loud.

I'm pretty sure there are people who think this :( It's kind of like the people who visit their dying friend in the hospital and say, "Don't worry, this is all part of God's plan for you." Except worse.

I also thought that but figured it probably wasn't since the G wasn't capitalized.

Hello, twin.

Aahhh it does look like an Urban Outfitters book. Some exec probably thought it was just like those other weird, hip things the kids like. I bet that if one doesn't get some other millennial stuff, it would probably be difficult to tell what we would/would not find amusing.

I also walk several miles a day. So I'm guessing it's just "growing up" and not necessarily a result of bad habits. Womp womp.

I've been experiencing that lately, as well! It's sort of awkward because my dad isn't even observant. I've been taking some classes at school in the religious studies department and have been latching onto any experiences I can get. So I definitely understand the need you said you can't articulate. I don't know how…

This is exquisite.

+1 so very true.

Take that, Satan!

I am so with you on that. I also have OCD, which couples with disordered eating. Every so often I decide to journal, usually because I realize I've been eating too much sugar. The journaling just makes me fret about dessert ALL DAY and I end up eating more because I'm stressed about it. Taking time to enjoy food - as…

I'm on a cocktail of psychiatric medicines and don't want to take the chance. I also know that I have an addictive personality and I am a prime candidate to become an alcoholic. It doesn't seem worth it. That doesn't stop people from judging/criticizing me or saying that they "just need to get me really drunk" so I…

Hopefully this stupid guy will end up being a Squib, amirite?

Although another problem is that when someone is really overt about it, those who are more subtly racist can latch onto the more outspoken people and lend support to the agenda. And if someone calls them out on it, "at least" they're not "as bad" as the blatantly racist people.
