I look more rad than Lutheranism

Calli, I would lose my fucking mind on someone who tried to tell me, in the comments section about losing a dear friend to cancer, that it's caused by sinning, blah blah blah.

In fact, I saw those comments and REALLY wanted to call her out for being so insensitive and uncaring, but I thought I ought not wade into that.

(It reminds me of a guy in the FAC whose dad died, and the guy gave a eulogy in which he said that he was most sad that he would not see his dad in heaven because his dad didn't accept Christ and would therefore not go to heaven. For reals, this dude said in front of his grieving extended family that his dad was going to hell. HOW IS THAT OKAY.) (Spoiler: it's not.)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

So I'm in the bathroom, and this woman comes in and starts humming. Which irritates me, because I'm irritable, and she keeps going. Then, right before she exits the bathroom, she adds in the lyrics.

"So...to honor him...pa-pa-rum-pum-pum-pum..."

I just got LBD'd in the bathroom.

Didn't watch Arrow last night then, huh?

Not yet, but I saw sixteen people posting about it.

But I've already lost it three times this season before this.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I just got LBD'd in the bathroom.

Day-um. That's a mean twist of fate.

And the relative has just told me I need to learn from the Creation Museum. At which point I told her I doubted we could have a productive debate and, I should be ashamed to say but that hasn't hit yet, that I'm glad my God isn't a mean jerk like hers seems to be.

I wonder if she'll unfriend me? Or pray for me? Possibly both. Eh, she's a cousin's daughter that I've never met in person, so it's not like the breaking of a deep, life-long bond.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I suspect Obama taking his guns away, from the sound of the intelligence involved.

Not very effectively, apparently. Thanks Obama.

Calli: whoa.

Getting LDB'd in the bathroom is unfair.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Calli, I would lose my fucking mind on someone who tried to tell me, in the comments section about losing a dear friend to cancer, that it's caused by sinning, blah blah blah.

Me too. If one of my parents said that, I'd probably schedule a doctor's appointment to check for dementia; anyone else, my response would be "if that we're true you'd have been dead long ago."

Mormon funerals will do that, use the eulogy/sermon as an opportunity to remind people that families are forever, but only if you have the right ID card, so isn't it wonderful that all of you are worthy and up to date on your tithing and everything. Hint hint.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Calli I think I would have to post on that relative's wall every damn day. THOU SHALT NOT JUDGE. Also some shit about their assumption of omnipotence being an affront to God. Also also, their lack of compassion and grace makes you weep. Also also also the baby Jesus hates judgey assholes who speak in his name, and God, she may very well spite such people.
