You could go Theistic-Agnostic. Make your spiritual journey a personal one, rather than looking to an establishment.

“Jews for Jesus” is an organization that needs to be set on fire. They’re disgusting.

Chris Pratt is free, of course, to believe whatever he likes and talk about whatever he wants, but this making a big show of talking about his religion and praying before reporters during interviews is exactly what Jesus said not to do.

Seattle is absolutely bursting with these insane “hipster” churches. There seems to be a new cult congregation every year. These churches try to sell themselves as implicitly progressive but every once in a while their leaders open their yaps and give lie to that idea.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again:  Chris Pratt gives me the heebie-jeebies.  He strikes me as one of those guys who, underneath that charismatic, aw-shucks, American pie exterior, he’s a guy who abuses people, most likely emotionally. Having been around emotional abusers, this guy sets my spidey senses…

Least Chris is super problematic. Evans (Most Chris) looks even better by comparison.

I started off really not liking him, then I thought, “Maybe I just hated the character he plays on Parks and Recreation... I should give him a chance...” and I’m gravitating more and more towards not liking him on his own merits.

Pratt has always been on the conservative side of Christianity. He worked for evangelical front group “Jews for Jesus” when he was younger. He was never actually Andy Dwyer OR Starlord. People just mistook a change in physique for a positive personality trait.

Start?

Dude takes every opportunity he’s given to broadcast his odiousness.

i thought Chris Pratt was an insufferable git before it was cool. It didn’t surprise me at all to find out he was Christ Trash, he’s got the same know-it-all smarm as Kirk Cameron.  

Glad Page is speaking out about this.
What’s interesting to me about this is that Hillsong Church, as a Protestant denomination, has been getting criticized for decades for a huge variety of things. It started in Australia in the ‘80s and got hugely popular about 15 or 20 years ago with Evangelicals in the U.S.…

Unitarian...many Episcopal churches (Protestant sects it depends on the individual church itself)...um, Reformed Judaism?...annnnnnd...Flying Spaghetti Monster?

Hillsong: It’s like Scientology but with Jesus

That’s the creepy church with the preacher who wears his pants so low you can see the beginning of the shaft. The whole operation is probably one big diddling factory.

Another problem with vaccine refusal; those who haven’t been vaccinated against measles, also haven’t been vaccinated against rubella (German Measles).

I am old. The chicken pox vaccine wasn’t available until I was well into adulthood. I got chicken pox when I was ten years old. I can’t remember ever being any sicker than that, even when I had pneumonia. I had blisters in my eyes, ears, mouth, and freaking everywhere else. I ran a fever of 104 degrees. There wasn’t…

You know the thing that really gets me about these anti-vaxxers? Where I come from at least, these are the kind of people who gave me shit for refusing to give my kids skim milk. These are the white, middle class, well off arseholes who believe that ‘good’ nutrition will protect them against disease because they have…

Cause, meet effect.

What I find interesting about the anti-vax movement is that it crosses the political divide. The hippy dippy organic granola left don’t like them because “eww chemikills” and the prepper 2A government hating right don’t like them because it’s a weird conspiracy like chemtrails. Perhaps the one instance where it is a…

“On one side, they make you afraid, and the other side they make you feel stupid, and you get stuck in this middle where you feel beat up by both sides,” she said.
