If you have no idea what’s going on, you really don’t know that it’s going on, do you? Because let’s be honest, it’s really not true, is it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe Jakee is correct and perhaps there is a level of overreaction and hyperbole in your statement. Sometimes when things come up more than we would like them to it can feel tiresome. I get that way with every weather event seemingly needing to be tied into climate change. Enough already, I get it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your point, specifically confirmed several times, was that it is literally true that they are subjected to a fifteen minute teacher led gender discussion at the start of every class. But that’s absolutely not true, is it? They’re not subjected to a fifteen minute discussion in every class. They’re just subjected to a bit more than they’d otherwise like to hear. But how much is that? Fifteen minutes a day? Fifteen minutes a week? Fifteen minutes a month? How much are you actually saying is too much? Because it sure as hell isn’t what you claimed.

He's got that 'I accepted Jesus as my personal savior, so I'm cool doing whatever the fuck I want and I'm "saved"' bullshit going on. Conveniently forgetting Matthew 25:40. The Bible clearly indicates that in the last days before Jesus' return that His believers will be hated by the world and even martyred. In a micro sense you, et. al, are validating scripture generally and my faith specifically. Thank you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Many, many, many others before you have predicted that 'the end is nigh'. Basically since the beginning of time. Remember Harold Camping? He's been dead over a decade. His predictions of "End Times" were a load of shit. Of course, he conned a LOTof people into doing some really stupid shit. I don't hate believers. I hate hypocrites. Those who claim to be 'washed in the blood of Christ', yet ignore his most basic teachings. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
