For the fuck of shit, dude... I have a heartier degree of disdain for Abrahamists than 99% of self defined Athiests, but right now you're just being an obstreperous dickhead. Grow the fuck up, wouldja?

Oh, I can tell you, I don't live there anymore. :) It was Cross Point, and it has blown up the last couple of years. Truthfully, I probably would've been too intimidated to go to it the size it is now, but being a part of it when it was still small and renting out space in a Baptist church and seeing that they simply…
The story was about a Christian organization. As I self-identify as a Christian, it was applicable to discuss that I'm thankful Driscoll is finally facing some repercussions for his hateful behavior. If this mild discussion where nobody is trying to convert anybody or pray for anyone at all is making you leave…
I don't believe hell happens after you die. I believe we create hell on earth for ourselves and others. A cursory look at my FB newsfeed confirms this view. :)
It does, especially Paul's stuff. The guy was smart but...a real asshole. Even my sister (worked in the church for years) agrees on that point.
I don't know if this is theologically sound, but I've noted the Bible has a sort of evolution from the militant desert faith to something more egalitarian. I mean, Christ's lessons generally boil down to love God and love your neighbor (with no distinction as to who your neighbor is). Essentially, the human…
I am very suspicious of anyone who espouses biblical literalism, because what they usually mean is that God, to them, is about rules and smiting. They typically use stories from the Old Testament as their justification.
Jesus said "love your enemies." That was pretty radical for the time. There is a reason Christianity spread first amongst those oppressed by Rome (Jews, slaves).

Well, I must say it is good seeing an organization associated with rampant misogyny work to combat it. Pleasantly surprised :)
Life is tough, and life is short. Live it the way it makes you the happiest.
Keeping him away from female clients is not going to keep him away from the mothers, sisters, daughters, wives, ex-wives, and baby mamas of his male clients. It's a strange to allow someone to practice with a special limitation.
Not that I believe for a second that you're not trolling, but... "dating your lawyer" is not a thing in this context. These women (some of them abuse victims) are filing charges for unwanted sexual advances, not "he asked me out and I didn't want to go". He's a fucking predator and he needs to be disbarred.
Asking your economically disadvantaged client, referred to you through a program for abused women, to pay for her legal fees with sexual favors ≠ dating your doctor or attorney.
Dating your lawyer? Not that strange, possibly unethical, but also possibly not. Asking the women you represent for sexual favors? Absolutely unacceptable in every single way.
I strongly disagree. I acknowledge that the rule seems silly for lawyers with business-oriented practices whose clients often have more power in the relationship than they do, but many Americans have limited access to legal services for financial reasons. There's a strong temptation in those cases for unethical…
And how could he even take on male clients? He does family law, what male client in his right mind would hire a sexual predator to represent him in family court. That's tantamount to throwing in the towel. "My attorney has numerous infractions for unwanted sexual advances, can I have more visitation with my kids…
i hope you are not a lawyer
