Wesley: Hey. Hey, Gunn. Is something weird going on? … Charles, you just peed on my shoes. Gunn: I'll be damned. That's weird.

Natter 37: Oddly Enough, We've Had This Conversation Before.  

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

If people don't stop referring to Mr. Rogers in this sort of conversation, even in a "no, never him" peripheral sort of way, I'm going to post links to pictures of Pertwee in the shower.

Does that mean I shouldn't mention my friend who used to get freaked out by him when he would use the Lady Elaine Fairchilde voice to talk to her and others at the production studio?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

It really isn't very hard to function in a society that consists of a lot of people who hold opinions you think are wrong.

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

I dunno - it gives me heartburn....

True enough, we ourselves do it every day.

Also, why would an Intelligent Design just muck around with single cell organisms for billions of years?

Lack of funding?

I particularly dislike the notion that God put fossils in the rock to test people's faith. A petty, practical-joke-playing God is a good thing?

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

It gets easier with practice.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

I'm not sure why the kids were standing around the flag pole holding hands and praying but they were. Some kids were making fun of them, and it was really odd to see. All of them standing around the flag pole like it was some kind of religous artifact.

This would be "See You at the Pole", a yearly event organized (by whom I have no idea) for the Christian kids to be able to openly express their faith on campus. Because often Christian kids feel like they're not allowed to talk about their faith at school.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I don't bother judging too hard.

That may be where you're going wrong....

Now tagless for your comfort.

We were taught that there are some things that we don't understand - that God works in mysterious ways and what-not.

That's a big reason why I'm not a religious person. That and the misogyny.

I don't have energy left over from judging the people who refuse to pivot their heel. You have no idea how all-consuming that is.
