Congrats SJ! So excited you guys have picked out where you want to be married!
Got up too early to go to the LA OMV to get Tom's LA license. Gronk.
Ben: I didn't ask for any of this. I just want to be normal. Gronx: I wanted to be an underwear model. We play the hand we're dealt.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Oh, billytea, how terrible for WallyBee's family. Much ~ma to them.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Nice one, Daisy.
My heart goes out to Wallybee and that whole family.

I think also there is a segment of Christians (from my church experiences) that thrive on the perception of persecution; that they need to fight against a hostile culture for their beliefs just like early Christians in the New Testament. I think this can magnify issues like the mosque and gay marriage, etc... It reminds me of Mike Huckabee during his presidential run saying that there were "Plenty of choices for candidates who don't believe in God". A sense of being an oppressed minority.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

That was a big thing in the freak-ass church -- if you were being persecuted for your beliefs, then you were THAT MUCH BETTER of a Christian!
Of course, they defined "persecuted" as "my co-worker has invoked legal statute to get me to stop proselytizing at the water cooler." OH NOES.

Some denominations are based on having been persecuted, sometimes with actual persecution. It's odd that they see this as "we must defense ourselves, because we have been persecuted", rather than, "we know how you feel and will defend you from persecution, because we have been persecuted, too." My Persecution is More Relevant Than Your Persecution.
It's kind of hard to have sympathy for the Christians in the Roman Colosseum when you've got the Inquisition to put up against it.
