@robinhanson Those are just off the top of my head. Is every episode dedicated to the characters quietly watching tv? No. That would be dull. But tv and movies aren't rare in tv shows

@robinhanson sees the end of Old Yeller for the 1st time. The Office - Jan catches them watching a movie during work hours; Jim, Pam, and Andy watch a movie on a laptop; Gabe hosts a Glee watching party; and Michael makes a movie. Psych - the pilot episode has Sean watching TV...

Once you see it you can't unsee: In TV & movies characters hardly ever watch TV & movies. Characters with phones hardly ever scroll social media.

@turnerOnTheGrid @MrCasey62 For the record, even as a prottie, the rapture always sounded stupid to me.

@turnerOnTheGrid @MrCasey62 I once attended a Baptist church where the congregation wanted to put pre-mil, pre-tribulationism in its mission statement. Yeah, that's not a non-essential for many protties

“Sola Scriptura” vs. “Sola Scriptura”. Or, “the Holy Spirit is inspiring ME to interpret the Bible correctly, but obviously not you.” Or (much more likely), it’s ALL just “Sola My Interpretation.”

@MrCasey62 Sola hey! What's this footnote in my Scofield Bible?

@Islam435 Meanwhile in France... x.com/intent/post?te…

You can never find any Muslim on OnlyFans. Alhamdulillah for Islam.

@OurRepublic12 @Clintons_Emails By "abuse" you mean anything which undermines LGBT ideology.

@Clintons_Emails The rule was literally that an adoptive home be "free of hostility, mistreatment, or abuse based on the child's LGBTQI+ status." So yeah, you're not allowed to adopt children and then mistreat or abuse them. Pretty simple really.

"If you oppose abortion, how about YOU adopt the baby, huh?" *Doesn't let you adopt the baby*

@catholicpat Preaching the Gospel is illegal in Algeria. Pope Leo took pains to cover his pectoral cross so as not to offend the Muslims.

Pope Leo could go to the wealthiest countries in the world, attend banquets, and address kings and presidents. Instead, he went to war-torn nations in Africa to preach the Gospel. Just like Christ would.

@melodymlyons was not at all like the modern practice) millennia ago.

@melodymlyons fully integrated, virtuous person. What we do with our bodies affects the disposition of our souls. There is a reason why belief in the Real Presence has cratered over the past few decades. And there is a reason why the Church moved away from communion in the hand (which btw...

This is something not often considered by those who haven’t experienced physical abuse. Hand-to-mouth is a relatively intimate interaction. I’m not saying it’s wrong, but it is rather close and personal. Sometimes fingers even come in contact with the mouth. I taught my young children to receive this way, but I will not insist that they do. Hand to hand is safe physically and psychologically. It is approved by the Church, practiced by the Fathers, and it is still reverent, especially since reverence is first a disposition of the heart.

@greendragonhq @Timcast Broken homes and fosters homes make the best of a bad situation. Though of course the situations which lead to those - divorce, drug use, etc - should be illegal. Two men buying an ovum and renting a womb intentionally traps the child in a bad situation.

@Timcast Imagine growing up in a broken home or a foster home because homophobes don’t want two adults to adopt a child.

Imagine growing up to learn that your two dads purchased you from your mother

@missxlayy @Timcast Oh great! You don't get a mom but as a consolation prize you get to be two gay dudes pet! You don't see how twisted that logic is?

@Timcast have you ever seen how actual committed married gay men treat their labradoodle? a life more glorious than most humans. being adopted by proper gheys is like hitting the jackpot of life. two highly dedicated male incomes to go with it. many kids come from this & love it.

@TMSTRS_ @Timcast My compassion is for the child being denied a mother.

@Timcast Imagine having some compassion for gay parents.

@ingelramdecoucy What is it with the UK and mushy peas?

A hamburger somewhere else

@Chicago9811 @RedWavePress No, he only persecuted nuns, had the DOJ spy on Catholic Churches, imprisoned pro-lifers, violated an oath he swore on the Bible, and aggressively promoted the most evil ideologies. He committed blasphemy by suggesting God approved of such evil.

@RedWavePress And Biden never attacked the Pope or Catholic Church or committed blasphemy

Scott Jennings: “You would agree that it’s not uncommon for presidents of the United States to disagree with Pope’s right?” “I mean your old boss [former President Joe Biden] didn’t agree [with the Pope] on abortion or g*y marriage correct?” Kate Bedingfield: “He was also a very devout Catholic who went to mass every Sunday.” Scott Jennings: “Who happened to disagree with the Pope on abortion or g*y marriage!”
