I fucking hate Steve Harvey and think he's a misogynist shitshow, but saying a black man "needs to be corrected with barbed-wire whips" is probably... inadvisable.

Uh, I think you are misunderstanding terms here. Catholics are most definitely Christians. Catholics generally think of themselves as The Original Christians. Everything else you said applies to Protestant Christians.
But how does "God did it" (or, "God allowed it") make really fucked-up things easier to explain or deal with? Surely, believing there's a powerful creator/controller who *could* do something different, but *doesn't*, and instead causes or allowed untold suffering and pain, is a bit... masochistic? I don't understand…
I don't understand this thought process. Surely the lack of an afterlife makes this life infinitely precious, not meaningless? It's afterlife-based religions like Christianity and Islam that devalue human life. After all, according to their philosophy, this life is only a "test" and we are supposed to eschew all that…
Why is that admirable? It seems ignorant and delusional, at best.
1. "You might be surprised to learn that most have them arose from religion, not lack of it." Yikes.
We should hang out.
Have you ever seen animals mating? Most of it is "like rape."
Me, too, Kat. I joined the Episcopal Church during Advent, and I couldn't be happier!
I agree 100%, BUT I find it extremely problematic that Jay-Z never dresses like this. Even in Beyoncé's own videos and performances. He's sitting there, in a tux, smoking cigars, male gazing. It's kind of... gross. Insofar as it's one-dimensional, patriarchal, gendered, heteronormative, sub-dom, etc., etc., etc. ad…
1. I feel sorry for Donnie.
Uh, the story here is Fran Drescher! FRAN DRESCHER!
Wonderful - especially to hear you're still in love and not at work after 21 years! <3
You should maybe respond to the OP who is whining about her wedding angst.
And this is one of the myriad reasons why I will not be having kids. What a scam.
