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.
"Your" spokespeople is putting it strongly. It's not like there was a vote.
There hardly ever is. We live in the media age. The loudest asshole with the best press agent is the spokesperson of whatever they identify as. You're SOL if you belong to said group and think s/he's full of it.
Some people scoff at agnostics as fence-sitters.
I think agnostics are the bravest of them all. It takes nerve to stare into the infinite and say, "beats me".
Of course, quester!
Truds, I'm a little more profane: "Eh, WTFF? Ooh, look, John Barrowman's naked!"
Wow, that's an unhappy horse in the starting gate.
I usually dodge around this by just talking right to the baby: "Aren't you cute! You are such a little muffin! What a smiley-puss!" and any other non-gender-dependent endearment that comes to mind.
This reminds me of what the NICU nurses would say (not gender-related) when they had to deal with an ugly baby. They'd always say, "What a sweet baby!"
We had the NICU reunion today, which is fun but super draining. One of the families that had been there with us was there. And all I could say when I saw the daughter is, "Oh my! She's so big! How wonderful!" She was a very unfortunate looking child.
Dana - that really was a high note. Difficult to listen to - too.
There's always the Southern route to that: "Look at that child! Bless her heart!"
Aaaaaah.
But I think there is legitimate non hate-filled argument to be made that in the current century religion is a net evil.
Sure, but only because the commies and fascists are seriously slacking. Personally I think the problem is the blind obedience to any ideologue -- regardless of the idea. As soon as people think a notion is worth killing other people for, and someone figures out a way to make money off of that, it all goes to shit.
Wow, that was something.

I probably shouldn't have laughed at that. No wonder I wasn't Raptured.

In total agreement with Trudy here.
