Let me explain why your casting choices in this latest series are WRONG. I’m an amateur histori…

…delivering it to Chico: who then turns around and uses it to scam the next customer. How many of our charitable contributions are like that? Even after we’ve handed over the money, there’s a part of us that still wants to give a yank on the line. ___ The church I serve is located near ground zero for Hurricane Sandy.

…companies building platforms “where the government will be a tenant and a customer, and not the landlord.” Pence cited this same verse from Psalm 139 to legitimate the mission of the administration’s newly formed Space Force: God’s hand will guide these space soldiers in their “defense of freedom”—that is, the freedom of commercial enterprise.

…the large evangelical charity Samaritan’s Purse—has never been as grifty a customer as Sekulow.

Occupy Francis Lewis Boulevard

…y level spikes to cardiac proportions if those South Asians are of the opposite gender. Nobody knows why this is, but it is a convincing argument against evolution, because if we all have this mutual awkwardness gene, it doesn’t make any sense that there are hundreds of millions of us crammed into small spaces, breeding like, well, South Asian rabbits.

Can Faith-Based Organizing for Gun Control Work?

…u from doing something you’ll regret. The activists would focus not on the customer’s sin—no one wants to hear about their own sinfulness—but on that of the people inside the gun shop and gun show: how they look the other way at straw men purchases, how they’ve become a part of a background check system rife with loopholes, how they sold guns to someone who later shot people dead in a school, a church, a movie theater, a health clinic.
