You elucidate one of the most difficult aspects of the process of adulthood and individuation. A therapist once said to me: Your family may be insane. But you are not. Stop trying to justify/integrate their insanity. Stop trying to rescue. Let other people sit in their own stew. Protect your own soul.

Not to mention complete sentences and more than 30 hours of work a week.

Yes. I was trying to figure out how to talk to my dad about LGBT rights and the only compelling thing I could think of was saying hey dad I’m gay. Now what? Is it ok for me to be fired for that reason alone? His position is that it’s his duty to tell people who aren’t being godly that it’s not ok and he and Jesus…

Things you knew you were going to get with Hillary: Equal rights, respect, the protection of the government. Quelle horreur.

The only moral abortion is my abortion. The only time I do not insult Obamacare is when my insurance is cut. The only time I promote gay rights is when my child comes out to me.

With Hillary, you pretty much know what you’re gonna get with the LGBT community.

This happened to me. We were good friends in high school, but she converted to Catholicism during college.

I’m still super proud of myself for never saying, “You certainly didn’t have a problem with pre-marital sex in high school.” during one of her forced-birth rants on FB.

I still feel like she overcorrected. She…

They didn’t change the law just for her. And if they’d have changed it back, it wouldn’t have been just for her. I don’t care that she had a change of heart, I care that she wanted to deny women across the country the right to make that decision for themselves.

Pawn?

She wasn’t outed—-she chose to identify herself as Jane Roe to grab some publicity.

I always want to say, “Oh, you mean the Bible that was rewritten at the order of King James specifically to justify his reign as ordained by God and to keep the social order of the era in place, thereby ensuring that the lower classes believed they were less-than because God wanted it that way and that they should not…

I have seen it up close too, and there is ALL the judgement in there and none of the grace. Except when it comes to themselves. Once a group of people were talking about that show “Duck Dynasty” and I said I had never seen it. One of the ladies popped up and said “Oh it is good. And they’re Christians!” Um, from what…

So have I, with people I love very much. It makes me very sad.

As a lapsed non-evangelical Christian and daughter of pastors, I completely agree. There is pure evil underneath all that false piety and self congratulatory religiosity of the evangelicals. I’ve seen it up close.

Pisses me off when religion is used as the reason for disagreeing with something. Give me a decent, logical, well thought of and valid argument, other than “Well, the bible says”. Couldn’t give a toss what the bible says. You may as well tell me what 50 Shades says.

I used to think evangelical “Christians” were just misguided. Now I think they’re cultists. We’re not moving in the right direction.

He’s a material threat.

Any leader who calls a free and independent press “the enemy of the people” is an existential threat to democracy.
