On an author's wiki page: "He spends an hour and half each day in prayer: Mass, rosary and a half hour "mystical conversation." Aaaand I'm no longer interested.

I think I'm panini cursed (is that a thing?). No matter where I get them, or what kind, they are cold, not pressed, no melty cheese if there's cheese, just a cold sandwich. Doesn't that make it...not a panini? Got one today that was spectacularly bad. What am I missing?

@LuanaGoriss @BobGolen Do you realize how ridiculous you sound?

@BobGolen Yes. Atheists don’t believe in God, because they’re angry at Him.

Is atheism a belief system?

@JBirdumo4 @DeeWaynee94 Please seek psychiatric help

@DeeWaynee94 Only those that don’t accept him and won’t speak to him need to play the telephone game. I have seen hell and opened my heart and mind and he spoke clearly. It was such an overwhelming feeling of peace and comfort it makes me cry tears of joy just reliving the moment.

“God” made 100 billion galaxies but still needs grown adults to translate his wishes through vague poetry and mood swings.

@TrevorSheatz "the divorce came out of nowhere"

My wife was formerly promiscuous. I was a virgin. She was then radically born-again. Committed to church, evangelized constantly, Puritan books in her bedroom, prayer journals, grief over past sexual sin, etc. We got to know each other well for over a year, dated for four months, engaged for two and a half, and didn't sin sexually with one another. Our first kiss with each other was at the altar on our wedding day (reaction pic attached!). We've been married for over five years now, and she's been the most wonderful and godly wife, mother to our three children, and homemaker you could imagine. She's more pure than most virgins, as biblical purity has less to with past sins (though they certainly matter) and more to do with one's current posture of the heart and daily decisions to honor the Lord (Matt. 5:8). We're far too quick to forget the story of the woman labeled as a known "sinner" (likely a prostitute) in Luke 7:36-50 who was washing Jesus' feet with her tears while kissing them too. The Pharisees were shocked that Jesus let a public sinner do this. Jesus responded with a parable about debts being forgiven and ended with this powerful conclusion: "Her many sins have been forgiven; that’s why she loved much. But the one who is forgiven little, loves little" (Luke 7:47). Everyone seems to highlight the benefits of virginity, and it certainly is a blessing. But we forget to highlight the benefits of being forgiven much as well. My wife knows the depths of Jesus' forgiveness more than most people, enabling her to more easily live out a life of passionate love for her Savior. A woman or man's past sexual sin matters. But what matters far more when it comes to deciding who to marry is if the person is truly born again, if their repentance is real, if they truly have a heart for Christ, if they truly follow Jesus and obey his commands. "God has chosen what is foolish in the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen what is weak in the world to shame the strong. God has chosen what is insignificant and despised in the world ​— ​what is viewed as nothing ​— ​to bring to nothing what is viewed as something, so that no one may boast in his presence. It is from him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became wisdom from God for us ​— ​our righteousness, sanctification, and redemption, — in order that, as it is written: 'Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.'" (1 Cor. 1:27-31) "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, and see, the new has come!" (2 Cor. 5:17)

@aosleather @AndyOstroy 100%

@AndyOstroy The fist pump made it feel fake... my gut said at that moment that if he'd really been shot, he'd have been seeking cover, not camera-caught defiance.

The more I see this the more it’s completely fake. Why the fuck are they all just standing there? That would NEVER happen. One, possibly two or more shooters out there still potentially firing? And they just stood there? As if they knew it was over….

Is the world really going to have to burn because the USA can't impeach a president?

Project Hail Marty, wherein a human meets an alien in space, both trying to save their respective planets from demise, but the human is an arrogant ping-pong player, so nothing gets done and they die

@danishacarterr Religious folks get a charge out of thinking they're conscripting people to hell. They can rationalize it by saying they're to "save" you, but they're really just terrible people

god and hell aren’t real <3 and if god were real, you should be ashamed of worshipping him after seeing what he’s allowed to happen on earth

The President of the United States learned that Robert Mueller had died. And he picked up his phone and typed: “Good. I’m glad he’s dead.” I need you to stop. Put down whatever you’re doing and feel the full weight of those words. Good. I’m glad he’s dead. Said by the man who holds the most powerful office in the history of human civilization. The office of Washington. Of Lincoln. Of Roosevelt standing in the rubble of Pearl Harbor promising a nation trembling in the dark that we would rise. That office. Those words. Now let me tell you who Robert Mueller was. He did not have to go to Vietnam. He had every reason not to. A Princeton degree. A blown-out knee. A future waiting for him in the comfort of civilian life. He waited a full year for that knee to heal, just so he could serve. Let that sink in. He walked into hell when other men were running from it. He came home with a Bronze Star for heroism and a Purple Heart soaked in the blood of his sacrifice. He spent the next four decades standing in the breach, as a prosecutor, as FBI Director, as the man who held this nation together in the smoldering ash of September 12th, 2001, when we were all afraid and we needed someone steady, someone serious, someone who loved this country more than he loved himself. He was all of those things. He was a Republican. He was, by every honest measure, an American hero. And the President danced on his grave.

I’m crying at people calling me a sinner like that word has authority outside their own storybook. You can’t charge me with crimes from your private universe.

@OperHealAmerica Cringey

Demons still tremble at the sound of His name. The name of Jesus.

@Machi1Nne They're one and the same, no matter how hard you tap dance

People don't realize God is spiritual not religious.

@DrOaikhena Yeah but that's their new tap dance: insisting that god isn't religion, because they're recognizing that religion is often harmful, so they think they can tap dance away from that by saying they are separate things (they're not).

People don't realize that God doesn't exist outside of religion. Once you quit religion, God and his side-fairytale character, the Devil, cease to exist.

I was confused because I thought the Duggar pedo was already in prison but you mean to tell me that a forced culture of purity, obedience, and abstinence with minimal sexual education or bodily autonomy created MULTIPLE predators? Well consider me just shocked shocked shocked.

@Maximumatheist They're in for a surprise when they die and find they've lost everything too. Just kidding: they'll be dead

Ridiculous rationale. In the meantime, they fork over 10% of their wages. Weekly. For life.

That's great that my $52 purchase of overpriced printer ink (for a printer I rarely use) resulted in $31 in points, but you know what I could have used those points for? TO BUY INK. 🤦‍♀️

@D_Preacher_1 the latter, but they're required to say the former

Do people believe in God because they found evidence, or because they were taught to believe as children?
