LOL, yes it’s all that inherent moral goodness that white people have. That must be it.

Are you saying that without viable role models, minorities tend not to enter certain professions? That systematic racism reproduces itself and leads to disparities like this? I’m SHOCKED.

Yes, because weird transubstatiation rituals, making signs on the foreheads of babies, and chanting from ancient texts are definitely not things one should seek guidance from.. Oh wait, I’m describing christianity. My bad.

Because Christians insisted on it, and to not completely violate the Constitution, they also had to promise to let all the other religions take a turn at it if they wanted, because this certainly wasn’t a blatant attempt at shoehorning their personal religion into public political space!

Aramaic

First you let a witch bless your legislature, and next thing you know you’re diverting aid to Hogsmeade and spending half your defense budget on developing anti-Dementor weapons. It’s a slippery slope, Iowa.

I imagine he’d be saying (in Latin or Arabic):

Rep. Rob Taylor (R) attended, but turned his back during the blessing. This, he believes, is what Jesus would have done. “Jesus would be in the chamber, from my perspective. He would passively protest,” he told reporters.

Actual footage of the representatives:

“I was praying for her salvation. I was praying that she would come to know the one true God.”

I’m pretty sure if Jesus was there, he’d be all like “where the fuck did all these Pharisees come from?”

This is what pisses me off about hypoChristians. They can dish it out (PUT GOD BACK IN SCHOOLS, LET US PRAY AT COMMENCEMENT, BLAH BLAH JESUS) but they can’t take it. You want religion allowed in the public sphere, fine, but don’t act like whiny babies when it’s not your personal one.

God I love when they’re all directly confronted with what inclusion means. If you’re gonna let one religion in, you have to let them all!

I know. It was in business class on now defunct Tower Air, which was a real favorite with the ultra-Orthodox. I ended up sitting next to a woman who had just had breast implant surgery. When she wasn’t taking over the middle seat to lie down (she flashed a doctor’s note), she was trying to set me up with her nephew…

I hadn’t considered this plan. I’m a stubborn motherfucker and I’d refuse anyway, but it would at least make it slightly less offensive.

WHAT THE FUCK.

Frankly, I think it’s just stunningly childish and irresponsible that these people would get on airplanes without up to date Cooties vaccinations in the first place.

That attendant is a national hero.
