Gee, I can’t imagine why not giving any real consequences to a kid who’s never had any real consequences wouldn’t work.

How I picture Ellie and Joanna

As a retail worker, it isn’t about effing killing baby Jeebus with heathen resolve. It’s about the sheer number of holidays in an incredibly short period of time. I wait on 500-700 people a single shift. Every time I customize a departing wish of well being, it sticks, for months. Fourth of July, Mother’s Day, or…

And really, they can’t even martyr themselves properly. It’s so lame. Fauxtyrs. Flayed, burned, mauled or hung martyrs of bygone times are rolling their eyes from beyond at the lame attempts to wear the cloak of martyrdom over this issue.

Oh for fucks sake. This is so goddamn martyrifically stupid...

It’s easy to say religion as already stated but I think that only is half the problem. The other half? Money. Making it and keeping it.

Religion. We have too much religion.

Well you’re kinda imposing your faith on them with the whole “the afterlife is gonna suck.” I get not being cool with Satan. But they don’t really do anything “demonic” and some of this stuff is actually for the advancement of women’s rights. I think I even saw something about satanists offering I walk Muslims to…

Surely you understand that not believing in the literal existence of God or Satan doesn’t keep atheists or Satanists from being personally affected by the idea of God - specifically, how that idea is enacted by believers in our society and encoded in our laws. That’s why Satanists obviously do want to invoke the…

Haha, I’m just kind of laughing to myself, because you realize that if you’re an atheist, then you don’t believe in the devil and you’re not scared of “messing with [him]” and you’re not scared of hell or an after life that includes heaven and hell. Like, if you don’t believe that something is real, then it can’t hurt…

They do not worship Satan. They do not worship Lucifer. They do not worship themselves. They do not worship. These folks are not the shadowy cabal of Crowleyesque mystics you are imagining.

The atheists are not trying to align themselves with actual satanists, but the ‘The Temple of People Who Fight for Civil Rights’ isn’t going to get them any press. Satanic imagery is something that definitely gets the attention of the Christian establishment, especially in the case of something like trying to say that…

We call it a War on Women precisely because assholes like you think forcing a woman to make a man wear birth control is preferable to giving her control over her own body after private consultation with her doctor.

Of course, he’s a guy who thinks we should protect our country by forcing other countries to wear our…

LOL

There’s a Parasitic Worm in Bolivia That’s Making Women Have More Children

Lol. Chickens don't cry. They don't have souls. Or something!

Your opinions are hurtful to people who are suffering. I am not interested in taking a step in any direction toward advocating them as mere "opinions", because this is the kind of thing that makes people suffering from mental illness despair: the idea that they aren't doing it right, that if they just tried harder…

I can disagree with both you and the article. You seem to have some model mentally ill people in mind who did things "the right way". I think that's fucked up for reasons related to my experience with working with people suffering from mental illness, my education, and my own experience. I'm not interested in only…
