Oh, heavens, yes. She and Kimkins are so similar! The lies, the turning on a dime from saccharine-sweet to angry and dismissive, the grandiosity. Even the love of flip-flops!

Best to you, and hoping for smoother sailing ahead.

To me, "constantly adopting and rehoming animals" is at best callous, though.

I wish that were true! I've been trying to resolve a ridiculous IRS snafu for years (they mangled the spelling of my last name horribly, the equivalent of "Smoph" for "Smith").

They're tremendously understaffed and their database systems are ancient. I've definitely been on hold for an hour-plus. That said, when you do get someone on the phone, they're always pleasant and professional.

I second that emotion. "God gave me a bigger piece of cake, nyahh, nyahh!"

"We are all God's children" isn't meant to be taken that literally.

So Christ-like of them. Remember that part in the Bible where people came to Jesus for healing and he was all, "Talk to my downline"? Yeah, neither do
I.

Non-literalist denominations are not so much with "smiting". My own denomination campaigns vigorously for separation of church and state. For myself, I am part of the contingent within my denomination that campaigns for churches to be as subject to taxes as any other non-profit voluntary association.

There isn't a conflict for us. I do my thing and he does his thing. We chose not to have children (for other reasons) and it pretty much never comes up; he's usually doing Sudoku while I'm praying in the evening, and he has plenty to occupy him on Sunday mornings without me.

Our marriage is great, and the "unequally yoked" business doesn't bother me a bit. My denomination isn't a Biblical-literalist one, and I think Second Corinthians is probably spurious anyway.

On edit: I am bad at Bible tonight; "unequally yoked" is indeed in Second Corinthians, but that's generally accepted as likely authentic. I was thinking of Second Thessalonians, which many scholars believe is spurious. So I guess I default to "Paul was fallible" on that one. I think being married to my husband has made me a better person in all respects, including as a Christian, because my husband's integrity, generosity, and compassion inspire me greatly.

A large survey, conducted by a faith-based research organization, found that the group of people who identified as evangelical Protestants is the group with the highest divorce rate (in the US).

I'm pretty engaged with my own Christian practice; my husband is fervently anti-religious (he was raised Reform Jewish). It has caused us negligible strife in our 15 years together.

Penelope Trunk is anti-feminism, so it's odd to be defending her from that standpoint.

No.

Read her blog. She's broke as a joke. Which is why it's hilarisad that she's giving advice to anyone about anything.

Hee hee. That zinc oxide is carbon-based AND grown without pesticides!

Badger is a good sunscreen, and a good choice if you want a product without nano- or microparticles.

Yes! Laura and wife are uncouth, but the texter is a homophobic assclown. A plague on both their houses.
