Yesterday, amid continuing white Evangelical freakout about a black man who refused to stand for the national anthem in order to protest racial injustice–a dog bites man story in and of itself, of course, or at least it should be–The Washington Post published Michael Frost’s “Colin Kaepernick vs. Tim Tebow: A Tale of Two Christians on their Knees,” as part of its Acts of Faith series. This response will not be so much a blog post about Kaepernick and Tebow as about WaPo’s failure to cover conservative Evangelicalism with a sufficiently critical lens. And damn, for a paper that adopted the slogan “Democracy Dies in Darkness” earlier this year, WaPo sure seems determined to keep the public in the dark about the toxicity of conservative Evangelical subculture, to the point where a more honest slogan, with respect to the paper’s coverage of Christianity, might be “Sure, democracy dies in darkness, but far be it from us to speak ill of Mordor.”...[more]

If you're not grilling your dick you're not exploring your sexual space.
I forgot you're Jewish. If you were raised Catholic you know who St. Martin de Porres is.Pruitt wrote: ↑Fri Jan 12, 2018 7:59 am Statue unveiled at Australian school of St. Martin de Porres (no, I've never heard of him either).
It wasn't in plain view for long...

Certainly not all, but they know a lot of the big ones and dePorres would qualify. Like Mister D said, if you live in a huge city, there are going to be dozens of churches and high schools and at least one is going to be named after most if not all of the apostles, dePorres, Thomas Aquinas, St. Mary, St. John Baptist de la Salle, etc.

Geez...what would you call that curse it if it was true?
Goes without saying, that no one has actually seen this movie yet. Religious hysteria stoked by rumours...A group of about 150 women belonging to the Rajput caste threatened Wednesday to burn themselves alive if the film was released.
"The government should either ban the film, or give us the permission to kill ourselves," one of the women told Indian broadcaster Times Now.

There's this big mayoral race going on in Nashville, and one of the candidates started a campaign "accusing" the other one of being an atheist. Now, I understand that you'd have a hard time winning an election anywhere in this country as an atheist, let alone Nashville so this is something that she'd want to respond to. You'd think just clarifying that it's not true would be sufficient though? Wait for it...
What the hell is that shit? This isn't even a devout person and she feels the need to attack atheists, when it's the Christian dude who lied in the first place.“There have been a lot of comments from my opponent and a lot of really not nice things said about me,” Barry said. “So let me just start off with, I’m a Christian."
“My faith is something I will always take with me into the mayor’s office,” she said. “I know this is such a pivotal election for Nashville. We’ve already seen what a Super PAC will do and what a Super PAC is capable of talking about. I would like to reach out to Bordeaux, where a minister recently received an anonymous call saying I want you to make sure you tell your church that Megan is an atheist.
“That’s just hurtful, and I wish we were in a place that this wasn’t the kind of campaign that was going to be run, but I don’t think it is. As we move forward, I need all of you to help me get out the vote.”
For those of you rolling your eyes, pretend for a second that she was "accused" of being black, or Jewish, or gay, and her response was that they were saying mean and hurtful things about her. What kind of public backlash would ensue? Atheist though? Have at it. It's fucking bullshit.
Interesting thought, have I been inclined more often to conceal being Jewish, or being an Atheist? Clearly depends on who I am talking to or what region I am in, but I've definitely lied about or avoided discussing both.
I dunno, I think it's okay to make a comparison like that, being on a limited subject.
