I have been a pretty committed atheist for decades now.
But Dolly Parton is in heaven with Jesus and I will not be taking questions on this.
I don't want to hear about the vastness of the cosmos or the absence of empirical evidence or any of my own arguments that I have made confidently for years. None of that applies here. We are making an exception and the exception is Dolly.
If there is a heaven and Jesus is up there he has been waiting for her specifically and there was a whole moment when she arrived. That's just what happened. I don't know how to explain the theological mechanics of it and I'm not going to try.
Some people just live in a way that makes the universe owe them something on the other side and Dolly Parton sent books to millions of children she never met and asked doctors to use her dying body to save strangers and wrote Jolene and I Will Always Love You and funded research that helped create a Covid vaccine and just kept going like that for decades.
If heaven has any kind of selection process she didn't even have to apply.
I'm still an atheist about everything else. The rules still apply across the board.
Except Dolly.
Dolly is with Jesus now and that's just a fact and the cosmos can deal with it.
@onewiththesand@treydayway This! My child's ND is being gifted. Its a non-neurotypical brain processing issue. These two things are not mutually exclusive they are very much one in the same. Understanding this really helped me show up for my kid in the way he needed.
@flappybara@suchnerve Thank you yappy. People literally have no idea what they are talking about. When I lived in the NE heating my home from 0 to 65 was a normal occurrence. Never in 25 years have I cooled my home by 65 degrees. The ignorance is astounding.
78% of abortions occur before 9 weeks
92% of abortions occur before 13 weeks
6% of abortions occur between 14โ20 weeks
100% are none of your fucking business
A woman will NEVER forget how she was treated during pregnancy and postpartum.
Not by her partner. Not by her family. Not by her doctors. Not by strangers.
If you made one of the most physically and emotionally vulnerable times of her life harder instead of easier, she will remember exactly who you were. You suck.
@iky_fwjett Wait! Your mother didn't understand these needs that you have 15 years ago?! I'm driving to your house this very moment, to deliver a gigantic understanding and accepting mom hug to you!
And yes, I'm judging your mother.
