Now by a little grim, do you mean the disabled losing their insurance, and most of their social security, their rights to be educated, their rights to have access to public places? All of which will further isolate them and most likely shorten life spans?

It might help to remember that the majority of white American men have not voted for a Democrat since LBJ signed the Civil Rights Act into law in 1964. That’s what we’re dealing with.

In case anyone doesn’t know, a big part of the reason why Obama has granted so much more clemency than previous presidents is because he is effectively making the Fair Sentencing Act retroactive. The Fair Sentencing Act reduced the crack/cocaine sentencing disparity that had been widely criticized as racially biased.…

On the eve of the inauguration, I think it’s a good time to remember that under President Obama, twenty million Americans gained health insurance, cutting the percentage of uninsured Americans to single digits; same-sex marriage was legalized; DADT was repealed; combat positions were opened to women and transgender…

If I see a vampire, I will make a cross with my fingers, and also alternate between making an “elephant trunk” with my arm just to be safe.

If only they had held on to their feelings.

He’s like a bunch of exclamation points personified.

Key was probably hesitant for the same reason you, Bobby, stopped your list after the first few. He probably knows many gay celebs, and sometimes it’s hard to remember - particularly under pressure - whether they’re out to the broader public, thus whether you can say it on camera. One would think that nonsense was all…

Nah, they’re not atheist. They worship the Almighty Dollar.

Heh.

i mean... yeah. I listen to good music and read books (The Best Books!)... but i do pretty much exactly this when people ask me my favorite bands & / or authors.

The Prosperity Gospel is the most amazing thing to ever come out of this country. Because like if there’s one thing Jesus was about more than anything else, it was unconditional help to the poor, and the PG is like “HAHA NOPE FUCK THAT.” It is total unequivocal proof that Christianity has become a meaningless label…

I think they just stopped believing.

Prosperity gospel is an evil heinous perversion of Christianity that has really helped to give rise to the powerful right. It is everything wrong with American rich, right wing “Christians” and it makes me livid. Way to take a message that actually has some merit and twist it to allow yourself to feel really really…

I love this quote. I’m sad that the font is Papyrus.

Just then, a man came up to Jesus and inquired, “Teacher, what good thing must I do to obtain eternal life?”

What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body;…

Yep, it and employs basically the same logic that led the Afrikaaner church to create Apartheid. If you’re claiming that earthly success is a sign of God’s favor, the implied message is also that if you’re poor, you’re on the G-man’s shit list. And if you’re on His holy shit list, why should any of us care about…

Prosperity Gospel assholes are the worst. The. Worst.
