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.

There’s been a slew of lifenews.com stories about her today, which I’ve seen anti-abortion people sharing like it’s some sort of revelation that proves how evil abortion is. I don’t get it. The case wasn’t decided because she was a magical person whose perspective was deemed infallible. She’s just a random person who…

Also I think Aleda King’s face should be on that poster.

“They wouldn’t let me do it, so no one should get to!”

What the fuck ever. I will always judge people who want to manipulate others through oppression. No one is “safe” from judgement when their wishes are rooted in oppressing people.

Doesn’t change the fact that she actively fought against allowing people to have the choice the she so desperately wanted.

I went thru this. My best friend of a decade plus turned from the Christian who “like, loves Jesus but has gay best friends and just wants everyone to be happy” to marrying an unemployed Quiverfull cult leader. Overnight I stared getting texts about the evils of homosexuality, telling me I couldn’t procreate with my…

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.
