There are ignorant asshole Wiccans, too. If she took her religion seriously, she would not act that way.

My dream is to get married in a wetsuit, on a pontoon boat, surrounded by friends and family all tethered together in rafts and floats. My uncles will canoe me up the aisle for a short ceremony, and then my betrothed and I will tear ass away from the ceremony on His & Hers wave runners. I have the whole thing figured…

Nothing can compare to the Pnina Tornai stripper dress on “Say Yes to the Dress.”

I believe a toned down version of this has already been promulgated for a while. In February I ordered a Maggie Sottero ‘Lucinda’ dress with gold under the lace rather than white because the warm tones suit my skin tone and personality much better. I’ll be wearing it in June. Now, if anyone asks about my…

My most embarrassing admission ever. I walked out of Fight Club before the big reveal.

Relax, people. These are runway versions of the dresses. When it comes to the ones that get sold in stores, they usually insert a white slip/white fabric under the sheer lace.

Whatever, I’m getting married in a wetsuit.

I didn’t say alone or oppressed. But as a liberal Christian, I didn’t really want to hang out with the Intervarsity crew (the Christian club on my campus). They were socially and politically conservative, mostly didn’t drink or use any substances, and had very little in common with me. It’s possible to be a regular…

I’m an active Mormon and it hasn’t always been well received. I dated outside of my faith in high school because there were some sliiiiiiim pickings in Chicago and no one really cared. Not everyone had a “live and let live” approach, especially as I became an adult. I’ve had people give me shit about it, even though…

Hope they signed the check for the caterer before getting in the car.

I’ll just stick with re-runs of “The Mary Tyler Moore Show”.

On the flip side, as an Episcopalian in the Bible Belt, I’m constantly having to defend my religion. I get looked down on and avoided because I go to that church that lets gay people in; we even marry them. My priest has been cornered and told she was going to hell. Just because I’m a Christian doesn’t mean I’m the…

Ugh. Spare me.

I’m a 43 yr old fully employed professional in law enforcement. I’m also a massive geek with encyclopedic knowledge of Marvel comics, Speculative Fiction literature and movies and a bunch of different science/math/engineering topics. That stuff is what I used to be reticent about. It’s cool these days.

I had this conversation yesterday!!!

i initially read that headline as

In the expensively educated, ambitiously employed, liberal urban circles I’ve run in since graduating from prep school outside Washington, D.C., coming out as a Christian feels more fraught than coming out as gay.

Free cookies are truly the Lord’s work. I am deadly serious about this. I am also more than a little bummed that, as a Canadian, I've never had a snicker doodle.

I went to a cool church as a teenager. It was so cool they had a skatepark outside, an in-house rap metal band and the pulpit was made out of repurposed skateboards. The pastor dressed like a surfer dude and would deliver sermons like, “Haha why would anyone worship Buddha, he’s just a FAT GUY who sat under a TREE!…

Oh, I see. It’s one of those new, hip churches with a rock band and where everyone is real casual with jeans and hoodies.
