See, you can explain and excuse it when they're doing the bullying. Although I think the letters to property managers are extortion, actually.

Re member when the statue of Jesus in Dayton [Goalpost Jesus, or Big Butter Jesus] was struck by lightning and destroyed? Was that "divine intervention, haha" too? See, you're always ready to credit God when you like the result, but you never assign blame to Him when you don't.

She thanked God for the money - not the people who donated it. Christians don't believe in bullies? Maybe you can explain the ones who protest at Women's Clinics, and set up live web cams to film women going in? And the ones who send letters informing a commercial management firm that a...

There is a very simple way to know it's false: the money was donated through a GoFundMe account, with the people donating leaving comments. None of them were from God, much less all of them, so thanking God for the money is giving credit to what she believes, instead of the facts that refute it...

It's really sad, that people believe money is the sole [or biggest] motivator. News flash: there are those who do what they do because they believe in it. Which isn't to say they do it for free, but there are investigative journalists, and teachers, doctors, nurses, coaches, prosecutors, defense...

"Threatened with violence"? [And let's don't forget the outcome: nearly a million dollars in donations, for their troubles], and you think that's equivalent to being dragged to death behind a pickup truck, because a couple good ol boys don't like gay people? Being beat up for walking down the...

No, I don't think. I don't ridicule people who think differently, but people who make statements about something that is clearly false? Fair game. Unless, of course, I think [or suspect] they are mentally ill, if they say something ridiculous, I can say it's ridiculous. And I stand by my...

Oooh, the irony: having to give props to the grandaddy of what you refer to as the "liberal media", for exposing the deficiencies of one of it's own. It's downright delicious, lol. Erdely's reporting was certainly irresponsible, but calling Rolling Stone a "sleazy rag" is just as much a...

We're talking Christians in the country we live in. Any massacre anywhere, for any reason, is a tragedy, but it is not relevant to this discussion.

What list? The list of things you know nothing about, and feel compelled to malign? That's what I thought.

Where did I say they "have no right" to thank God? They have the right of free speech, they can say it if they believe it. But people who believe differently can say what they think, too. When someone thanks God for money they know very well came from other people, I say it tends to show how...

Awww, poor Christians, getting beat up on. You think it's appalling? How many of them have been beat up in public, simply for being Christian? Any one dragged to death behind a pickup truck, that you know of? Or even arrested, for what they do with other consenting adults in the privacy of their...

One can't prove a negative. [ But if there's no proof that God exists after 2000 + years of people really really, really, searching for even a shred, what does that tell us?] The donations don't matter, to me - what matters is the beneficiaries publicly thanking God for the money, when it was...

And service providers are required by law to serve the public, moral judgments notwithstanding. If numerous small businesses decide to open private establishments catering solely to those who measure up to their standards, they can do so. Not only is no one stopping them, I think they ought to...

Sorry, Xiggi, it's not like talking to yourself. And if it's anyone other than "God" or "Jesus", it's an indicator for schizophrenia - a serious mental illness. I have a real problem with accepting people's 'conversations' with imaginary others as a good thing - especially in someone in a...

Excellent point. When I was nursing, it was difficult for me to "care for" some patients, [both emotionally and actually], such as: drunk drivers who had killed someone, the parent who abused a child, the spouse/significant other who battered a woman - they made my stomach turn. But my job...

I'm guessing you missed the report about the scientific study to learn whether prayer works, lol. [Spoiler: it doesn't] Thank you for the effort, but don't waste your time, or theirs, when there are much better things y'all could be doing instead. PS Why do you think it's hostility and anger...

What I have a problem with is someone imposing their "beliefs" upon others. The parents who sued were not forced to allow their child to participate in a voluntary program - they wanted the program removed. Just like the parents who want books removed from the library, or the curriculum, because...

How many are there purely to "see and be seen"? To show off their new outfits? The ladies' hats? [Or, if you're Kanye West, your ripped jeans and tshirt full of holes.] If they truly wanted to "come together to hear the Gospel proclaimed", why aren't they there every Sunday, or even most...
