Did they include that women will show arousal when watching animals fuck? SHOCKING IT TURNS OUT ALL WOMEN ARE INTO ANIMALS.

You’re an example to us all. Thank you for inspiring me to be a more accomplished sinner today. Being too tired to engage in some debaucherous shenanigans isn’t going to be an excuse for me anymore.

Word. I just used UCC as an example, it was a prominent church in my neighborhood where I grew up. Sadly, last year they got vandalized, along with the neighboring JCC, for having a pro-refugee sign. But you’re right, there are a ton of options. This church is my neighborhood, and I get walk by their anti-Trump signs…

It doesn’t even have to be UCC. The Methodist church down the street from my office has rainbow flags out front and says “everyone welcome” “Jesus is love” etc. etc. It’s pretty cool. Also, a large segment of the Lutheran church appoints gay and lesbian ministers. If someone wants a more traditional church, they can…

I do my sinning by occasionally tossing paper into the plastic bin. It’s that sort of continual low impact sinning I’m all about.

God isn’t even real. They’re saying, “It’s not harassment; it’s magic!”

Written at a time when there was pretty much no scientific knowledge to explain the world. So people could say “hey, God told me to write this down” and everyone would pretty much go along with it. So I get why people embraced it 2,000 years ago. But NOW? I was raised Catholic, I’d say I’m agnostic/atheist now. I’m…

As someone who went to 18 years of Catholic school. You figure that shit out really fast given conflicting accounts between the four authors I mean we didn’t like close read the bible till HS but it’s pretty obvious also given the amount of non-gnostic gospels that were produced around the time of Jesus’s death. If…

In my Foundations of Behavior class, I got a textbook that was a previous edition because it was cheaper. This was the previous edition right before the current one, so it wasn’t that old. Anyway, in it there were examples of how positive punishment works. What were those examples, you ask? Oh well, they turned gay…

Watch that shit closely. There is a link between conservative religiosity and child abuse.

My ultra-conservative brother uses this phrase when talking about disciplining his unruly four year old. Spoiler alert: it is not going well.

Also, it wasn’t written by God

The bible really shouldn’t be taken literally. Also, it wasn’t written by God, so it’s at best a general guide on how to live one’s life with a few nice poems and a fair amount of WTF stuff thrown in that is probably best ignored.

I kind of want progressive churches to start reaching to people like her, because some people really do crave the community and spirituality of religion, but it doesn’t mean they have to go into some evangelical bullshit church. Like, how great would it be if she got invited to a bible study run by a progressive…

I wish we could charge our local anti-choicers/anti-gay zealots with something, even something as trivial as “being a public nuisance.” As it is, courts have pretty much interpreted the right to freedom of speech as “the right to harass and intimidate as long as it stops short of actual battery.”

That was a compelling piece, but sadly for me every time some poor soul gets saved Satan whispers in my ear that I must double down yet again on my sinning in order to restore the balance between good and evil. It’s fucking exhausting.

Yep. Every so often we get evangelicals and hardcore Christians come over from Ireland to the mainland UK to start spouting their shit at universities and LGBT+ clubs.

As an actual licensed therapist, it drives me crazy to no end that these bigots call conversion therapy “psychotherapy.” Psychotherapy is based on researched techniques rooted in psychology and neurobiology designed to help people get a better understanding of their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and make changes…

I drove past those people on the bridge and it made me so incredibly angry and sad. I flipped them all off. Not that that really did anything.

What we’re saying is God changes the heart.
