I mean, Catholics require regular confession. Most Christian denominations and offshoots expect a tithe. The difference is a matter of degree, not of kind.

This article is a bizarre attack on Elizabeth Moss and the film. And who the fuck cares about her religion? If she wants to hang with those weirdos, go for it, it doesn’t affect me.

It absolutely is comparable when a person was raised in the religion. As Moss was.

Never heard of indulgences then? Or medieval monasteries where wealthy people could pay to have their souls prayed for more? That was the entire basis of the Cluniac system that came to dominate medieval France.

And they’re STILL right.

Replace “Scientologist” with “Muslim”, reread the piece and determine if it still sounds reasonable, especially if your argument relies, out of hand, on dismissing a #NotAllMuslims argument. Either judge the person as an individual, or don’t, but don’t cherry pick. I don’t find Scientology to be compelling and their…

You don’t really expect to come to Deadspin to read a discussion of the Rooker-Feldman doctrine. +1

I’m sorry but this is pretty stupid.

Naw, the “general public” doesn’t hate Chris Brown. They, and by “they” I mean mostly young women, continue to buy his music.

No, it does not have high chances of passing. Not unless you are only speaking about the House. It has little chance of passing the Senate, which would be the next step before going to the POTUS desk.

Nope. I do remember him having an absurdly large buyout towards which the Wolves were unable to contribute significantly, so he had little choice but to remain in Spain until his contract was up. Reports of Rubio not wanting to play in Minnesota were greatly exaggerated (ie, made up out of whole cloth).

He’s got a TS% of .535 this year. League average for PG is .530.

Some might say it’s indicative of a penchant for ripping off European fan culture without any of the history or tradition from which the real culture emerged

Plus, aping Euro footy culture is what footy culture is all about. There’s an Arsenal in Argentina, an Everton in Uruguay and Corinthians in Brazil.
