I was being Socottish.
Bwah!
When I was in college my friend Alison got very drunk, and as we walked into a party she said, "I just don't wanna lose my digginy."
"If you meant 'dignity' consider it gone."
It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

Drunk Amy! Awesome neighbors. And an excellent way to enjoy a night where the kids are away.
But upbringing, study and personal experience (along with probably just plain wiring; I know there's some neuro research that suggests that some people are neurologically wired for faith) have conspired to make me actually believe it.
I really admire your belief. I don't share it, but I do often wonder what it would be like to truly know something so deeply. The people I know who truly believe are really amazing and some of my favorite people. Fantastic conversations. I assume because when you respect someone having a different belief, you can talk about it. You can, you know, talk. About things.

Best keep some pants on that hippo dignity or it's gone.

The status is NOT quo.
My hippo dignity put on a tutu and called it done a long time ago.

Our wedding cake, of course, had the hippo dignity speech written on it.

JZ, I meant to say that I am very sorry about the situation you are in. It's just heartbreaking to hear how you and others have been alienated. I believe 'Suela is right: the church needs more of you.

I'm pretty sure the church itself wants less of her.

So what's gone down in JZ's parish is not the action of some rogue priest, but part of a larger strategy to break up liberal parishes. Basically, people like JZ are not being made welcome.
Yeah. If I'm a member of a parish these days, it's Corpus Christi, but I can't imagine the diocese trying to shut it down, despite its politics. Because it's in Montclair, on the edge of Piedmont, and they couldn't risk losing all that income.
Still. Argh.

Dear Newsperson:
You say of the car wreck, "The driver is deceased at this time." Do you expect that to change?
