@seanapriori I understand your point, and the terfs are correct. Racial segregation is based on hierarchical dehumanization. Sex based exclusion is not.
At just 12 years old, Cai Thomas has a treble voice so pure and clear that the moment he begins singing Laudate Dominum, the whole atmosphere seems to become more serene.
A young voice with something truly special, delicate, luminous, and beautifully pure.
@VilanceDAsari@BoomerDivvies This happened to my father's siblings over a property in their old home country. His brother died not reconciling with their two sisters before he died from brain aneurism. The next generation (my cousins/me) are so fed up with the pig-headedness. "Pride before fall."
@SerenaAbutilon@KeenanPeachy Oh my word. I'm not pretending and not shaming. I have daughters/son who are in dating age and have given them "my opinion." Anything I say is obviously not well received. Will end this here. Adieu.
@SerenaAbutilon@KeenanPeachy You're right - a good man is subjective but being a woman myself, I would want someone who respects my dignity and at the end of the day is my solace/comfort from the world. And I found that in my 30 years of marriage. In my opinion...
@SerenaAbutilon@KeenanPeachy My apologies for presuming, but my point still stands. Average women have a good chance of finding the right man. Truly, I hope you do. ~pax vobiscum.
@AlBuffalo2nite I feel for him. Leaving that mess on the counter when she's done is inconsiderate. That would drive me nuts. Hubs and I agree in putting the toilet seat down.
@SerenaAbutilon@KeenanPeachy Very well. Don't look for them in bars. Maybe ask others who you trust for friends of friends. Don't sleep with them until you get married. Don't lower your standard; he'll meet yours if he's really into you. Be willing to walk away if any red flags. Met my HEA in college.
Kaepernick pointing out that you are paid millions of dollars, but in the end it’s the same system — legit, is his brain broken? Does he have bad CTE? I’m not kidding. He describes slavery by pointing out all the normal things a paying job requires.
@Wombat_Ric@kangminlee Poor guy - imagine being completely unaware of it because he's not a race baiter. I bet someone has already said that he's a traitor to his race because he approved this.
@Carolin79323775@RWMaloneMD@FarmGirlCarrie . . .Because she probably doesn't mind stirring things up, probably revels in the controversy, and it's another notch on her resume. Her ilk believes in karma. I would worry more about God's judgement.
My dear Wormwood,
You still think in terms of churches and arguments. That is why you fail. The churches can be left standing. What must be spoiled is the literature that taught the young to love the Enemy before they could define Him.
Narnia is one of the more irritating of those books. Children meet Aslan first as adventure and only later discover they have been handling Christ. That is dangerous. Direct attack only makes the stories more precious. So we do not ban them. We adapt them.
Give the Voice to a so-called celebrated actress. Leave the mane. Leave the pronouns. Then the thing that was a male Christ-supposition becomes a prestige performance. The story remains famous; the meaning becomes negotiable. In a generation the story will still be beloved, but the beloved thing will no longer be Lewis’s Lion. It will be the version that flatters the age.
That is how the Enemies literature is destroyed without the vulgarity of a bonfire. Keep the title. Change the sound. When the children hear Aslan, let them hear the present century speaking through Him. Once that habit is formed, the Enemies stories survive as brands. Their doctrine does not.
Do not call it persecution. Call it interpretation. The patients prefer that word, and it does our work admirably.
Your affectionate uncle,
SCREWTAPE
@mattvanswol@Suspension80883 This guy obviously has mental health issues gets arrested for wearing a sheriff shirt and is to*rtured and m*rdered in jail and Lindsay Clancy brutally m*rders her three children and gets $3 million.
Completely insane!!!
One more time.
#Adoption and #surrogacy are not the same thing.
In both cases, the child loses one or both biological parents.
But in adoption, the adults raising the child are seeking to mend the wound. In surrogacy, the adults raising the child have inflicted the wound.
Adoption is an institution centered around the best interests of the child.
Surrogacy is a marketplace centered around the desires of adults.
In adoption, adults do hard things on behalf of children.
In surrogacy, children do hard things on behalf of adults.
One supports children’s rights.
The other violates children’s rights.
