Why would I subject myself to even more venom? No thanks. I want nothing to do with such hateful, pseudo-Christians.

I just love the way so many straight people here think they know so much about LGBTQ issues. Really, you have no clue what you're talking about, and you make yourselves look like fools the way you carry on with your supposed wisdom. I've never come across a more offensive thread on this website.

Wow!

Merry Christmas to you as well.

Happy birthday, hon. I love you! :)

I'm going to have to tell my Muslim friends that trick ... thin copies of the Quran ... because big, thick copies of sacred scriptures raise suspicions of radical fundamentalism.

I use the the NRSV as my regular Bible for reading, because it is used by the church that I attend for its service readings, and it's a relatively good, liberal translation. I use the Authorised Version for study as it works best with Strong's, and it is the most honest translation when it...

The words aren't controversial. They're true words that the alt-right, God-hating, Trumpists fear.

Once in Royal David's City or Hark! The Hairy Angels Sing. While Shepherds Washed Their Socks by Night is good, too.

Yup. All Canadians know that the US War of Independence was fought under false pretenses. Hence, we stayed out of it and loyal to His Majesty the King.

What exactly makes it a cult? Fundamentalist Christians tend to throw the term "cult" around rather loosely in order to dismiss things with which they disagree, but have nothing more to say against certain organisations.

There is one black-capped chickadee who visits the bird feeder on deck. I've not seen any other wild birds come by this winter, but there is a large wooded park nearby, and we've not had much snow yet, so they're probably still able to find plenty of natural food. We'll probably get more...

As I said before ... typical ultra-conservative US denial.

Typical ultra-conservative denial. But I'm not surprised, coming from the US.

In the end, it doesn't really matter whether he concedes or not. He has still lost the election.

As one of the other Anglicans here, I'd like to note that there are several Anglican beliefs regarding the Eucharist, one of which being the one from the Thirty-nine Articles of Religion which Albion references above, but not all members of the Anglican Communion hold as binding. There is no...
