There's plenty we can do. Don't give your money/tithes to churches who support Christian nationalism. Don't attend those churches. Call out their false beliefs. Don't vote for people who support Christian nationalism. Get it through the minds of Christians that their personal religious beliefs don't get to be used to control the rest of the population.

If y'all sit on your asses waiting for the 2nd coming (something that was supposed to happen before Jesus' contemporary generation died) then YOU are the problem.

The bats would miss them.

Any change to the biodiversity on our planet will have a negative effect. What is a pest to you is food for another species, or a pollinator, or any of dozens of valuable purposes.

I don't remember learning much about the Battle of the Bulge in school, except for the fact that it happened.

My great uncle fought in the Battle of the Bulge, and he is who I learned all about it.

It would be very very hard, but Rep Higgins certainly makes it look easy.

He is nothing but an embarrassment to Louisiana. His FB page is filled with what sounds like drunken rantings.

Isn't it really bad for your kidneys?

I was once standing with my family in our breakfast nook, and a large ball of blue light floated in through the closed kitchen window. It was about the size of a basketball, very bright, kinda sparkly, and it was some sort of electricity, because it made all our hair stand straight up.

It just hovered in the middle of the kitchen for a minute, while my family and I stood there with our mouths hanging open, then it slowly dissipated. We all looked at each other in disbelief, then continued setting the table like nothing had happened.

I'm still not sure what it was. I call it ball lightning, but I really don't know. It was a beautiful sunny day, not stormy at all.

Of course they're a group. Each church is comprised of a group of people with like beliefs.

And while there are Baptist churches that are more friendly to LGBTQ people, there's a reason this man had to hide who he was from the people in his particular church.

They'll take off debts from active companies if you have a police report, because I've had that done when my identity was stolen.

Guys, he not only was a Republican, he was a Baptist preacher. He aligned himself with these two LGBTQ hater groups.

Maybe he joined the GOP and the Baptist denomination in an attempt to shield his lifestyle, but he willingly belonged to these two groups which both actively HATE LGBTQ and condemn his very lifestyle.

I have a lot of sympathy for people who feel they must disguise their true selves in order to protect themselves...and I respect that he tried to reach out and offer support to others online.

But I'm hearing some very disturbing 'rumors' that he posted hateful, stalking, character assassination of particular people online. And accusations of child porn.

I'm going to reserve my sympathy for him for now, until the whole truth is known.

Mitch McConnel shelved it during Trump's presidency, iirc or maybe that's just a fever dream.

My state has already passed legislation to stay year round in DST, if only our freaking Congress would approve it.

I occasionally pick up food items from Target. It's less than a mile away, and if I am out of almond milk, I'll get it there rather than travel a longer distance. Sometimes I pick up a bottle of wine.

I've never done a full grocery shopping, however.
