Is anyone else an atheist with BC besides me?

DD says they use her house for training purposes. She has heard the leader say, "you can tell they're Asian by all the shoes outside". So she answers the door and is not Asian. Her husband is and the family is Buddhist.

Those are unusually open-minded JWs. You're lucky. Well, except for all the Southern Baptists down there. Not sure which would be harder to put up with.

I'll leave you and everyone else with this giggle for the night.

(We need a laughter emoji here.)

Alice - YUP - all those Baptists. Southern ones at that!!! At least they don't ring doorbells.

Good. It's being put to better use as an empty lot.

Sadly, there are too man people walking the earth today who believe that a person 2000 years ago walked with dinosaurs.

Unfortunately, it could be these days, Alice.

I like that one, Miriandra. It's so true.

Can I be you when I grow up, AliceBastable? I love the way you see the world. (Though I'm not planning on growing up any time soon.)

Well, from someone who always loved "Pippilotta Delicatessa Mackerelmint Longstocking, daughter of Captain Ephraim Longstocking, formerly a Captain of the Sea, but now a Cannibal King", * I can certainly understand admiring a ten year old literary character. But that's just me.😁

We definitely seem to be an Asshole Nation lately - so many people have been emboldened by Trum to go around loaded for bear. I had a woman In Lowe’s flip out on my when I asked her politely to keep a safe distance since she wasn’t masked. Fucking lunatics.

I just read the book “I Fired God” by a woman who escaped for the Independant Fundamentalist Baptist cult ( you know, Westboro Baptist Church and the 19 and counting Duggars). I knew they justified a lot of abuse on God’s name, but I didn’t know the extent of it.

As well they should be. Have you seen the new "Patriot" churches? They're dedicated to getting Trump reelected. They have to be taxed as political organizations .

Another thing for Biden's administration to deal with. The rise of political, hate based churches.

Somehow I missed the WPO story about Patriot Churches. Thanks for the reminder, yet another What the Fork! I took the what the fork line from a Netflix show The Good Place about going either to the Good Place or the Bad Place after death. Tongue in cheek with a twist.

Today is election day and 2/3 of the poll sites are in churches. Intimidation?? According to the Freedom from Religion site "polling places located in churches should be free from religious imagery." What church, church auditorium, or church school does not have religious imagery? With many alternative sites for polling why do churches need to be involved on election day? Intimidation??
