Spelling fixed. Thanks!

she’s hoarding those licenses for herself. who knows how many more she’s gonna need?

Don’t get me started on the gluten-free people.

That explains it. I have a few *former* childhood friends that are insufferable now that they’ve found Jesus. My formerly fun, carefree, goofy, feminist friend is now someone who is judgey and only has time for bible study and church. Every conversation with her led back to “why don’t you go to church?” I miss the…

If you’re self aware enough to keep it in mind I don’t think there’s much danger of you doing it!

I keep this in mind all the time as someone who stopped smoking.

She’s a classy lady.

She is only going to pick the parts that she agrees with. Like any *person who references the Bible as a source of authority.


*FTFY

I doubt such a petition would have any legal standing. Legally speaking, the citizens of Rowan County agreed to pay her legal fees when they chose to elect her to office.

People who use the bible as a reason/excuse often, perhaps unsurprisingly, have actually read very little of it.

Nope. I’m from KY, and every person I know is passing around a petition to make her pay her own fucking legal fees. Now THAT would be a waste of taxpayer dollars if I ever saw one.

Whenever I get a fundie relative dead-to-rights with a piece of their own book, they just look at me patiently and say “even the devil can quote scripture.” It's maddening.

I think a lot of adult conversations are the same ones we had as fourth-graders, just longer and more nuanced.

Oh stop it now. You can quote the bible all you want. She is only going to pick the parts that she agrees with. Like any fundy.

I don’t think so. For me, it was answered very quickly because we came from Moldova, where we weren’t allowed to practice Judaism so it never really became a part of my life. For my partner, his faith is very important to him. He doesn’t believe that god is going to punish you if you have a different religion or that…

It’s idiocy on an operatic scale. The kind of idiocy that moves mountains and diverts the course of great rivers. The kind of idiocy that gets engraved on stone tablets. The kind of idiocy that swallows whole civilisations in a single earthquake. The kind of idiocy that can be seen from space.

Good thing there’s a surplus of $1.5 million. It will make it easier for the county to pay civil rights damages to the four couples Davis has denied licenses. I bet everyone in the county who worked so hard and sacrificed so much to achieve such a large surplus will be soooooooooo glad that it’s all being pissed away…

I suffered Catholic school long enough to at least be able to answer this - Hitler can repent before he dies as long as he is actually and truly sorry (which only God would know). Since he wouldn’t have enough time to confess and perform penance on earth, he’d have to suffer in purgatory for a time before entering…

Okay, but the god question gets answered rather quickly, doesn’t it? I knew the God thing was bullshit in 4th grade.

“Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment.” - Your Bible
