So, I've got a theory. She killed her pup not because it upset her by scattering the birds she hunted, but because it embarrassed her in front of the neighbors when it killed their chickens. Cricket wouldn't listen to her and it made her feel publicly ineffectual and weak. Being made to feel that way absolutely enraged her.

She's a massive POS and I really hope this ends her career.

Not much different from the Taliban over in Afghanistan. All the religious idiots wanting to kill women, even young girls.

New Moses is a liar, and he's repeating the mistakes of Old Moses by leading his people around in circles.

As he should. It's pure gold.

I am so sick of Republicans bowing down to Donald Trump. He is such a a vile man and yet they have done nothing but put him before the country.

I guess if we want to be respectful to religion, we should stone him and the preacher can get as close as he wants. I bet he wouldn't have a problem standing at a distance in that scenario.

I was once standing with my family in our breakfast nook, and a large ball of blue light floated in through the closed kitchen window. It was about the size of a basketball, very bright, kinda sparkly, and it was some sort of electricity, because it made all our hair stand straight up.

It just hovered in the middle of the kitchen for a minute, while my family and I stood there with our mouths hanging open, then it slowly dissipated. We all looked at each other in disbelief, then continued setting the table like nothing had happened.

I'm still not sure what it was. I call it ball lightning, but I really don't know. It was a beautiful sunny day, not stormy at all.

I've had every Covid vaccine offered. They aren't perfect, but I'm trying to balance risk/benefit. I'm a 70 year old, autoimmune person with lungs that formed scar tissue from my first go-round with Covid, before vaccines were available.

My lung function was great before Covid, it was normal for my age. But post Covid,.my lung function test shows that my lungs function at the level of a 5 year old...and I'm taller and bigger than a 5 year old, so that's a problem.

Scar tissue doesn't "participate" in oxygen/CO2 exchange. So I need to preserve every little alveoli I have. I'd rather die in my sleep with a smile on my face than for gasping for air, so I'll do whatever is offered to preserve the lung function I've kept.

So, before I 'saw the light' and realized all religions were based on an ambiguous, contradictory, flat out made-up-by-mankind fairy tales, I spent years in different sects of christianity. Catholic, Baptist, Methodist, Pentecostal, Assemblies of God, Non-dom Evangelical, Messianic Jews (and ain't that an oxymoron!) These "teachings" were widely accepted in Pentecostal, AOG, and Evangelical churches. I scored roughly 33% sanguine, melancholic, and phlegmatic, lol. Nobody knew what to do with me!

As odd and crazy and backwards this seems to those of us who have beaten our way out of the wet-paper-bag-that-is-Christianity (or have never been in the wet paper bag, you lucky ducks), this makes total and complete sense to those who are still in the echo chamber of Christianity.

Total and complete sense, PERFECT sense.

They believe in this shit, like really believe in it.

She and her husband have been lied to and fooled, and I wouldn't give a damn, except that he is in a position of leadership in this country...and he's a true believer, one who will change our country into a theocracy if given the chance.

We'd better all hope Biden and Kamala survive the next few years, because this man taking on the presidency would set us back centuries. He'd take us to Gilead if he could.

And another Trump endorsement fails spectacularly.

He brought up religion; he had pre-printed some scriptures to back up his argument that she was displeasing to God and morally corrupt. Also told her she was going to suffer in her afterlife.

She may have responded to him, but he 100% brought religion into the conversation. By phrasing it the way he did, he was trying to slough off responsibility.

Apparently other students have come forward to say this is NOT the first time he's used his religious beliefs to discipline.

That was actually untrue. Zillow removed the listing and admitted it never happened.
