Please don't get the red one, unless you want to be picking sequins out of your man's crack on Boxing Day.

Really? That expression on his face just turned my panties into a desert.

I, personally, do not have any of the "approximately 37 trillion pieces of evidence for evolution" to which you refer. I have to rely on the assertions of others that this evidence exists. You know, have some faith?

Other Christians may criticise me for this, but I don't know that the Hindu scriptures aren't divinely inspired.

I don't have evidence of evolution or that I'm loved. And yet, I believe in both things.

Maybe the message was crystal clear, but the listeners still didn't get it. Because they were flawed and human. TBH, I don't see much of a difference between "making up your own religion and picking strategic parts of an existing religion to believe in", but that's what I believe we are all called to do - live our

A contemptuous inability to respectfully listen to (not espouse or validate) the beliefs of others seriously undercuts your claim to be an intellectual.

Or maybe we follow a faith that allows for both a doctrinal faith in Christianity without requiring that we believe that the Bible is a literal document, meant to be taken without interpretation.

Bullshit.

There's a difference between non-religious and affirmatively atheist. I don't come to this site to get my religion on. But I also don't expect to be dismissed here for it.

This argument, and the indignation thereof, pleases me enormously.

Why did I go look for a picture of this? Why? Given how dirty stud earrings can get, I can't even imagine how a hoop in your asshole would look after Taco Tuesday.

Why were you shirtless in the video store?

I guess he's been listening to Mama TyTy's advice on how to steal focus in a group shot.

I just threw up a little thinking about asking for ranch dressing in a restaurant.
