I won't watch The Americans cause I'm afraid of them. I'm afraid of the world. I just can't help it.

My fursona is a coelacanth man named Cole E. Canther and he wears jean shorts (NOTHING MORE) and likes to watch.

I had a high school English teacher insist that my class watch this movie in class, citing it as "one of the best movies of all time." I don't know what it's like to have an entire class of high-schoolers make fun of me for my terrible taste, but he sure did.
David Bowie's greatest failure in life was turning down a guest spot for this show. Okay, no it wasn't, but now knowing that this will never happen sucks.
Is a skunk your fursona? I see a lot of furries going for the purple hair dye bangs skunk-man-thing look these days, gives ya that hot emo mutant animal look.
Instead of cool old British dudes, why don't we trade cancer a bunch of shitty old american ones and give it the rest of congress?
The older Clooney gets, the more he looks like Ciarán Hinds.
There ya go, ya get where I was going.
By no means are you an asshole. Your views on art fall very much into line with Herbert Marcuse's in The Aesthetic Dimension, and I could not recommend the book more. I'd also recommend anything by Adorno, who had similar but more radical views (also hated horoscopes and spent years of his time collecting horoscopes…
Alright, you win, the Bible is weirder and longer but Narnia just felt longer cause I already read it when it was the Bible.
The worst part is I still love them. They've done a lot of other good things for me over the years. While they may have put me in the position of being homeless, they are also the reason I am not homeless now and while my living conditions are less than ideal it's still better than the months I spent out on the street…
I am in the position of living in an extremely conservative Christian community, and can't publicly speak my lack of belief without fear of violence. I became an atheist when I turned 15 and a friend of my father's died in a rafting accident with the church, leaving his Children and wife destitute. I thought to myself…
To be fair, my entire extended family is Christian and constantly condescends to me and excludes me from family events because I'm not a Christian. They also openly pray for my redemption in public while I'm there. They also forced me to go to church for my entire childhood. They also forced me into Christian…
That parable went over my head too. Damn't James Cameron.
Christopher Hitchens wrote an oddly thoughtful piece on this exact subject in his book "God is not Good." Despite his terrible, terrible politics and weird sexism, Hitchens had some thoughtful critiques on religion, as did Dawkins before he got so far into social media that it went up his asshole and consumed him.
A lot of Christians I know follow this line of argumentation (Lewis is huge in Christian Universities) but I would personally like to point out how little joy the Bible gives to women, homosexuals, other races besides Israelites (in the old testament), and anyone who doesn't agree with its own dogma. Yeah, I'm glad…
Hell, he had that extra daughter lying around in case of rape, he wasn't worried.
True Story: My mom's friend was over and had found out that I was not religious and she took it upon herself to find out why. I answered, "Well, have you read the Bible?" "Of course!" She replied. I nodded and waited for a moment. "Have you read the Koran?" I asked. "Of course not, that's evil," She said disgustedly.…
And I was the one saying Narnia was weirder. I was also saying the Bible was not boring. The Bible, while full of all sorts of vile hateful nonsense, is certainly not boring.
