This is why Philadelphia never should’ve let the Barnes move downtown.

Omg! Seconded on 12 dates of christmas (so good!) and yes! The best ABC family movies involve time travel, body switching, or knock on the head alternate reality! I love a good alternate reality christmas tale : )

But it’s a secret rectangle! That’s cool, right?

I'm sure these songs are quite pervasive, as the article points out (as well as the comments) - these songs are widely known. But for the school to dissolve the entire team when the actions it can prove were engaged in by less than 20% of the team...seems a bit harsh. Maybe everyone on the team knows them and sings…

Do you really think so!? I hope not. I feel like Pope Francis is so deeply loved by so many people, even non-religious people. He's like the best PR move The Catholic Church made since they stopped selling indulgences.

Causing damage and having a lack of foresight is pretty universal.

Bang up job making atheism look like an attractive alternative.

Thank you :)
