if only natural selection didn’t involve collateral damage.

I was hoping for financial abuse, was relieved that it wasn’t sexual abuse and then became more and more horrified as the article went on.

Yeah, but “SHARIA LAW!/Islam isn’t a religion; it’s a cult!” y’all.

North Carolina cult, North Carolina cult. Like, this is textbook cult bullshit. They first-level Jim Jonesed their congregants

Holy shit, its like somebody’s psycho controlling mom without any boundaries and a very large family to discipline. I’m looking at those heavy-looking rings and thinking that a backhand from Jane must have hurt like fuck.

I actually attended a service for a research project I was doing for a religious sects class I took in grad school. People there were very intrusive and asked a lot of personal questions. I gave a fake name because they freaked me out. I did a follow up call as a prospective parent regarding their school and they…

But please, tell me how Islam is a greater threat to America.

I’ve been an atheist for 20 years now, and the older I get the more all religions (not just the cult-y ones) seem very fetishistic to me.

You know, you just never hear about this kind of crap with atheists. Yeah, some atheists are assholes - but they don’t, as an organization, advocate BEATING CHILDREN.

“I’m automatically attracted to beautiful women — I just start kissing them, it’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab ‘em by the pussy.”

The fact that he would state it that baldly - deliberately tanking something so important for political gain - even to reject it, tells you that it was/is/will be on the table. To anyone with a soul, that would be akin to discussing and then dismissing the idea of having sex with your grandmother’s corpse. “I’m not…

Ol’ 44.5 says “nobody knew..” thereby re-affirming that in the moldy cheese cube he uses for a mind, anyone who doesn’t already have a gold-plated plan they never have to think about (and the wealth to back it up), is a Nobody.

Lack of political will. No one wants to be the comptroller or governor who announces a reduction of anticipated fund returns, so you taxpayers better tighten your belts. If you are Andrew Cuomo, you ignore the issue because it won’t affect your 2020 presidential bid.

Well if you’ve got the tentacles for it... I’d say Japan.

Even if Hamilton were paid to schill for them on the sly, who cares?

“What the fuck is an ‘employer-matched 401k’?”
