Schisms matter theologically because they obscure the idea that the Church is one body, emphasizing division among Christians rather than unity. Schisms matter practically because most churches aren't made up of people who are all one way or all the other. Schisms have a way of tearing communities and families apart…
Wow. I'm not going over to your house....
Yeah, we live in San Antonio, and literally anything could have surprise meat in it. AND NO ONE TELLS YOU. It's like everyone just assumes that pork products are vegetables or something.
Yeah, I spend a lot of time with much older folks. Baby boomers don't have much of an excuse. They built this world. They can lie in it.
Yeah, my first thought upon reading the article was "Great! Now even more people get to have strangers judging them for their bodies" Even when you're thin you're still fat? Ugh. Sometimes I think we should just all close our eyes forever until we stop being so judgy.
I'm actually a little relieved when I'm in a big party and the bill includes a tip, because for some reason I always feel like the tip comes up short in big parties, and I end up chipping in extra. I think it's because everyone forgets to account for tax on their stuff. Either way, put me down for gratuity included…
I think its just a fairly harsh criticism for someone who was trying to be nice. If all Christians took the tack of, "Let's all be really nice and maybe they'll come join us" rather than "LAWS SHOULD REFLECT MY PERSONAL PREFERENCES. JUDGMENT ON ANY WHO ARE DIFFERENT FROM ME," I think that would be a positive move.
or they grew up in a very different world and have never been able to adjust. I don't want to let them off the hook completely, but a lot of older people are simply doing what they've always done. The world has changed around them, and so things that would have been inappropriate (having tattoos, not saying ma'am,…
Yeah, that's why I try not to buy things on Sundays.
Yeah. I see opting in as a way of them getting consent from guys. If you want to be ogled and judged and dished on that's fine, as long as you volunteer for it.
Yup. Pretty much any site that involves posting pictures of people without their consent and soliciting comments is on my bad side.
No.
Or Prime Minister. I've always imagined bears as having a sort of parliamentary democracy.
I'm pretty sure it happened in the made for reality TV movie, I Want to Marry Ryan Banks.
the good news is that you can do all the ankle-f#cking you want and still be a virgin.
Funny, according to the faith of my childhood, you were all still virgins and everything was totally fine.
Yeah, a friend of mine got one of these when we were in college. I wanted to tell her that it wasn't really important whether or not you were a virgin, but she was really excited about it, so I let it go.
The joke is on everyone. Much like abstinence education, purity rings/promises don't work. Rates of sexual activity are higher for people who make purity promise things than people who don't.
It tends to be used for people who plan on getting married, but are too young now to be officially "engaged," not that that's like a legal status, or whatever. Since a broken promise is less of a faux pas than a broken engagement, it's basically a way to convince a girl to sleep with you without the risk of actually…
