I highlighted an important part of the essay. The modern church has no problem with members marrying outside their race, and rejects that they did something immoral in the pre mortal world.

You are being fine bro. It’s a topic that members are used to discussing. As NT said, the church is getting more open to discussing it to.

Hearing our German exchange student talk about what is and isn’t allowed there is chilling,

Exactly. It’s also a work of fiction-not everything is going to “real”. If you want truth in movies, documentaries might be more up your alley.

She was also rumored to run for governor and probably would have won, but she didn’t do so for….reasons. She might have more skeletons in the closet than we know. She’s been married and divorced twice.

Sure. Bondi is most notorious for asking Rick Scott to delay an execution which he did that was ultimately carried out but Bondi asked the execution be delayed because Bondi needed to attend a political fundraiser that was scheduled the same day. She got some slack for that, and not just from liberals.

Florida republicans outside of his district view him as a perverted clown. I sort of doubt it.

It’s complicated. You had some liberals who were vocally opposed to transgenderism before Trump. JK Rowling comes to mind, but there are others. Having said that, I do think a lot of people have been silent about who they voted for this election cycle. They’ll say Kamala but they secretly voted for Trump for many reasons.

Good advice if you want to get better at anything, really.

It’s already a big horror movie, but I agree it’s no where near South Park/BOM musical levels in terms of influence right now. Ignoring it would have been the best choice but the church already released statements about it. Twice. We need some way to tell our side-I’m optimistic people will Google the church name and find out more about us. Especially my fellow horror junkies.

I’ll bite. Why?

The church tried to reclaim the narrative by handing out BOMs at showings of the musical by the same name. Have they done anything like this at showings of this movie?

Understandable, but naive.

Politics comes before religion. How else do you explain Massachusetts Catholic democrats mindlessly voting for any democrat even though their party is so wildly pro choice and pro gay marriage? For what little it’s worth, I think it’s because the results of politics is felt immediately and has such practical, real world consequences.

I love this.

I don’t think RFK jr is one of the “people left behind by the democrat party”. He’s still pro choice, anti death penalty, pro gun control…

I absolutely agree that the democrats have moved so far to the left that moderates no longer feel comfortable in their party. The same thing happened to moderate republicans but they are much fewer in number.

Yup. That explains why liberals are very hesitant to advocate for abortion and gay marriage in southern black churches.

Slightly off topic-but who would have thought a republican president would pick a Kennedy to run anything?!

It’s funny how everyone is raised differently. My parents always told me not to discuss religion/politics in public unless you are with close friends. However, in private we talked religion and politics all the time.
