Dear CW,
Responding to those spam e-mails for "Logos for Less"? Not a good idea.

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

What does that even mean?
It featured a recurring actor named "Christian"?

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Then Dick and Cyborg.
In one of the current TT trades I have, it lists both Starfire and Cyborg at 6'4", I believe. Of course, Kory's hair makes her seem taller.

What is even happening?
Angel was the most Christian show on television?
What does that even mean?
Oh, this made me jones for some of Plei's posts on Angel's (Liam's and maybe even Angelus') Catholicism.
It's actually not a bad assertion in terms of his redemption and overall journey, but pretty useless without a supporting argument. Angel was the recipient of this incredible grace, and his whole journey was based on the struggle between his two natures (which is very old man/new man baptism/rebirth/conversion-theology heavy) and his zealous need to battle the evil he used to spread with gles and with which he is still tempted.

But I think that's what Goldberg means about the Christianity being entirely in subtext. The show employs ideas common to Christian theology, but they are not uniquely Christian. I could say Angel was the most Buddhist show on TV, because it's all about karma and how desire leads to suffering. The show dealt with good and evil a lot, and most religions have a lot to say about those subjects, so it's not hard to find any philosophy you feel like looking for.
I prefer to think that the letter-writer seriously misunderstood the Jasmine arc.
