    Is it ok to call god, they/them?

    You're now an adult who posted " I never bothered to return." Your not bothering means that you had agency, that you chose not to return. But let's pretend that this is the same as "I was asked not to return." And I don't see what your 8-year old self has to do with your posting one end to the...

    holy water and incense

    Oh, I love the smell of church incense. Always have. But it does affect a singer's throat.

    Is it ok to call god, they/them?

    Actually, getting kicked out of religion classes is not at all the same as excommunication. Your not bothering to return means that this was a decision on your part rather than on anybody else's.

    Is it ok to call god, they/them?

    You were formally excommunicated? This is rather difficult to believe. Did you mean instead that you knew you couldn't receive communion because you were not in "good standing"?

    An account has been opened at a betting site using my email

    No, but I Googled, and it appears to be a legit business with bad business practices. I clicked to see what Trust Pilot had to say, but there were only 2 reviews, one very positive and the other a 1-star calling them scammers. So I don't know...but I would always assume that it's a phishing...

    Cigarettes: Should the US follow suit with the UK?

    Interesting article on the history of the temperance movement and Prohibition and its consequences. Great old photos too. From the article: If the economic consequences had to be a necessary outcome of a moral decision, did Prohibition at least achieve what it set out to do? As history and...

    Are colleges and universities leftist propaganda machines?

    To return to the thread topic, and from an inside-the-ivy-halls perspective, some universities are leftist propaganda machines, but there certainly are a few rightist university propaganda machines too. No, most professors don't lean left. Many, many do (because they gravitated toward academia...

    @MSgt @Fletch If the two of you can't remain civil to each other, quit talking.

    Catholic voters respond after 'devout' Biden once again sides against his Church

    Oh, okay. Unworthy spin, but okay. :rolleyes: Perhaps now you'll address your gross overgeneralization. I am a "right-wing" person who holds no such convictions. Some "right-wingers" AND some "left-wingers" are absolutely convinced that the "other side" is filled with pedos, but you do your...

    Cigarettes: Should the US follow suit with the UK?

    Yes, and this is underpinned with a philosophy of "Don't bother me with facts; my mind is made up."

    Cigarettes: Should the US follow suit with the UK?

    Oh, sure. And female patients--you did specify women--waltz in and even name the med they want to take. Happens all the time. Try facts instead of foolish and mistaken fiction.

    Cigarettes: Should the US follow suit with the UK?

    Not men? How very telling. And how does your desire/need to smoke cigarettes compare in any way to depression, which must be diagnosed before a 'scrip is written? They aren't the same.
