I want to torture you. I used to love it, and it's been a long time. I mean, the last time I tortured someone, they didn't even have chainsaws.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Thanks, Brenda!

Does he get it logically, that he's screwing up recovery? What I mean to ask is, is it a battle between head and heart and heart wins?

Not him, but me (and others at the centre) -- there's a lot of love there too. If you told me it was between me going into the office or not, it'd be easier (though not effortless, I still have problems) to take care of myself.

Maybe if you don't admit you're invulnerable, the world won't notice.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

The study is a misrepresentation of the data

I just don't understand why they would do this when the lie is hurting their children, leaving them sick, and in some cases probably unable to have children if an STD goes without treatment.

It's as if they're still bleeding people who have the flu, or something.

Why deny your children information that will keep them safe and healthy?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well, the information could lead them to having the sex...

Can I quote that?

Their souls are more important than their bodies?

It's not a question of keeping them safe and healthy, it's a question of getting them into heaven. For a very long time, poverty was dismissed as irrelevant because this world didn't matter, accepting your lot in life with a proper spirit was, because you were laying up treasure in heaven and you would receive your due there.

Be my guest. Except, it's not what I meant to say.

If you don't admit you're vulnerable, maybe the world won't notice.

So if that's the quote you need, it's all yours.

To a lot of people, yes. Bodies die, souls are forever.

Oh, I can't find a link right now... but there's this disease that condoms cannot prevent (I forget what). Anyway, scientists have developed a vaccine for it. Now some Christian groups are saying that the vaccine should not be released, because if it is then that's sending a message that it's OK to have sex....
