Getting kicked out of school is probably the best thing that could have happened to this little girl

If I went to that school, I would *say* I was gay just to get kicked out....

Today is Ash Wednesday. For those who believe, the understanding is it's okay if you don't give up anything this year.

I rarely do "so glad I'm not like them" thank yous, but there is a growing group of Charismatics who prophesy Trump is coming again.

Each parish/church is its own franchise, more or less, with the diocese/archdiocese being Burger King HQ, and the Vatican is then Restaurant Brands International. With each parish only employing a handful of people - rarely more than 10 on the church side and another 30 or so on their school sides, they qualify as small businesses. I think it's a ungodly crock of ****, playing that sort of game. It allows them to skirt a whole host of laws regarding employee benefits, and other benefits you'd expect from an organization as large as the Catholic Church. For instance, many parishes do not offer maternity leave, even though it claims to be the nation's largest pro-life organization out there.

BC stands for Before COVID now. Sorry Jesus; take a hike.

Pssst... pro tip from someone who's lived it: instead of using academics to argue against Evangelicals, it's easier to shut down people who use the Bible with the Bible. That particular book is full of contradictions.

But, but, but my version of legitimized hatred is the right one because it says it right here!!11!!!!! ;-)

Kepler, Fade, Lynah, it looks like Christians are threatening us with a good time again.

Also, this woman's Twitter is a glorious, bat**** crazy train wreck.

The only solution is to tell them they are wrong, offer help, and keep monitoring them for signs of any violent plans. Putin got what he wanted out of the Q Hoax with these dolts.

"Day."

It's a start.

It's been a year since I've been in a church of any kind.

I kind of miss it. I miss our liturgy. I miss the beauty of the Grace Sanctuary. I miss the routine of "Hi Amber!" followed by Mama hugs.

But at the same time, I sense the Divine more when I'm at brunch with my best friend.

I'm sad.
