The Religion Thread

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Women should remain silent. They are not allowed to speak except during the question round when the only correct answer is, "World peace," as my pageant rules say. #TrumpBible


Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth except:

Since Seth Milner is so thoroughly confused on the concept of bigoted Bible cherry picking:
Huckabee & Santorum flunk their own religion: Inside the biblical verses that contradict Kim Davis
The recent Kim Davis episode provides yet another example of conservatives selectively interpreting their faith


... In short, Davis, Huckabee, Santorum and their allies aren’t obeying Christian doctrine; they are using it as an excuse for bigotry. They are simply too narrow-minded to accept the fact that some people have preferences and commitments that are different from their own. Their claims of conscience are really excuses for mistreating other people, and, in the process, they are mistreating the Christian religion as well.

Preschool Teacher Tells 4-Year-Old He's 'Evil' And 'Sinister' Because He's Left-Handed
If this is all true, then there's still plenty of folk out there in rural wingnut land who need to be humiliated in public and lose their jobs. Were it my child, I would be in serious trouble with the local OK gestapo.

This would be funny if it wasn't so cruel and obscene. This teacher must be immediately fired and the school, district and state must take all reasonable steps to ensure that something like this never happens again.

Sincerely,
We'll see. The State Superintendent of Public Instruction, Joy Hofmeister, is a graduate of Texas Christian University. :roll:

I'm writing neoplacebo to ask him to send one of his infamous firing/resignation notes. ;) Maybe he'll also post it here.

Dear (Vrede too):

The U.S. Department of Education, Office for Civil Rights (OCR), is responsible for
enforcing laws which prohibit discrimination on the bases of race, color, national
origin, sex, disability, and/or age. If you believe your concern relates to one of
those bases, OCR's complaint form can be found at
http://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/o ... intro.html. Thank you for
contacting OCR.

Carol Hagan, Attorney

Office for Civil Rights – Region VII

Suite 320
Kansas City, Missouri 64106-2106
Yeah, I thought it was a stretch. I mostly wanted the OK officials to see that I'd cc'd DOE OCR. I'm not gonna bother with the complaint form.

I'm surprised that religion isn't on the list, it is with most discrimination regulation.

I did not listen to the Pope's speech, but I've heard he made impassioned calls on climate change, immigration reform, redistribution of wealth, recognition of women and a global end to the death penalty, and did not dwell much on "traditional" marriage and abortion, all while citing to Congress Thomas Merton and Dorothy Day!

To the radical Catholics that taught me about Liberation theology in Central America in the 1980s - Congrats!

Well, priests point worse things at young boys, and Cowboys fans of any age deserve whatever happens to them. :D

I guess I'll wait until Thursday to pay off my credit card bill, just in case.

Shit. I gotta watch the remaining season 4 episodes of Longmire tonite. Do they give a time for the end of the world? Midnight? What time zone?

This would mean no Trump Presidency. No Trump vs. Putin conflict.

Sounds like God wanted to prevent any "Dumbest. Apocalypse. Ever." complaints.

So Nikki Heat says "God smiled on South Carolina" (with the sunshine). That leaves only one logical conclusion and that is that God spat upon South Carolina in the days previous. Or God isn't really in charge of the weather, but can occasionally over-ride whoever is.
