Your ad hominem doesn't address the point I was making, but it does expose you for the emotional ignoramus you are. You hardly understand belief, let alone non belief. Dunces like you should sit quietly and listen to those with more knowledge. Maybe you'd learn something and appear less foolish the next time you open…

You're ignoring dogma. You're not really a catholic, although it probably helps ease your mind to keep the label. You're incorrect if you think you can decide for yourself. You're expected to follow the authority in doctrinal matters. It's not a choice. You seem confused, and lashing out at people with a backbone,…

Thanks. It's apparently escaped these doctrinal relativists that hundreds of millions actually fear hell. For them, I'm sure getting the white and black right is crucial.

Hundreds of millions with a genuine fear of hell don't agree with your scholarly example of greyness. For them, the blackness is stark and as real as their last chest pain.

So your comment is, "It's really difficult and here's an example of women doing so and I think it's great."
So, apparently it IS possible, and GREAT when done so.
Seems like its worth the trouble.

Your argument is black and white.

I've never been one to take threats easily. If I was threatened by my community, by my family with shunning, I'd say good riddance. I'll never understand how people would prefer be subjected to emotional blackmail rather living free, that people can convince themselves they are loved by people that can threaten such…

Apparently it takes certain human beings until middle age to remember this. Oh, the joys of faith, and the moderates that defend its worth. I'll never quite understand my the brothers and sisters that surround me, indulging in fantasy and denialism. What a pity it must be to suddenly recognize the absurdity of it all,…

Which is it? Is there doctrine you must adhere to or not?

Spoken like a true monotheist.

Who. Fucking. Cares? Oh, that's right, conservatives care. I didn't realize I was reading FoxNews

Great piece.

I'm curious about the flavor of panda meat. I think I'd like to try some.

3 women held for 10 years here in the states. That women enslaved by her father in Austria for how long?

Yes. There's a red hot deal for the first customers to my store. I give the first customer that rushes through the doors a blast of birdshot to the face. It's worth the mess, trust me.

These stories are so common as to be banal. I'm no longer surprised, and frankly expect to hear more of these stories. I assume it happens more often than we know, and the reason we never find out is because the women are killed.

my pleasure, bread puddin'

bullshit

guys do police their behavior, cupcake.

depends on how soon, but yes, you're correct.
