The only thing that changes is how the sermon is written but the subject must follow the missile calendar. And I can say that I did not convert because I found the religion to be sad, and mean, and riddled with people who thought guilt was a way to worship God. It’s all about repenting. I like to celebrate God, Jesus. The whole catholic thing just didn’t fit who I am. But, I do know more about the catholic religion than a lot of Catholics so that should tell you something.
I was really looking forward to a new phrase with an awesome name of Catholic Missile though. You should copyright that one.
Catholic Missle is what happens when thr priest sees the new batch of alter boys ....

Interesting article, seems good for this thread
BLM/protests/woke/George Floyd all seem to be basically about the same larger problem
https://www.cnn.com/2022/07/08/opinions/woke-war-united-shades-of-america-kamau-bell/index.htmlExcerpts:Do you believe that our schools should teach an accurate and age-appropriate history of the United States of America?I hope the answer is "Yes." If it isn't, then we have a problem. Isn't that why we teach history? So we can learn from it? If it isn't accurate, then the learning ceases to happen.Just this week in Texas, a group of nine educators is proposing that schools refer to "slavery" as "involuntary relocation." Nope. "Involuntary relocation" is what happened when my mom decided we were going to move from Boston to Chicago without my permission. As much I hated Chicago at first, I wouldn't compare it to slavery. But this is what the GOP wants. They want America to be the hero in every story told about America's past so that America can then be seen as the hero no matter what unheroic deeds America does in the present or the future. In the lexicon of the GOP, America doesn't have "too many mass shootings." It has "occasional involuntary not-alives."Critical Race Theory is not about any of that. It is an academic theory of how to look at the law through a racial lens. It asserts that you can't look at the laws in America without considering how America deals with (or doesn't deal with) race. If your child is learning about that in class, then your child is most likely in law school. Not elementary.I hate to say it, but this "woke war" is a symbol of so much more. Remember those PSAs that said "The more you know" and had a fun jingle? That's all "woke" is. It's the more you know. The more you know the better you're able to maneuver through this life and understand that the world is not all about you.Post edited by Cropduster-80 on0 -

The deliberate and obvious whitewashing (pun intended) of American history is bad enough in and of itself; that so many Americans are willing to go with it is pretty concerning.

I thought that was just some podunk little Texas town or something like that because our NY textbooks weren't like that.
Fast forward years later and the term CRT was meant to mean 2 very different things but the teaching of our actual history is one of them that is getting shafted.0 -

American exceptionalism indeed.
conservatives get offended by the macro issues like the existence of racism, Christmas, Gay people, girls sports, not protesting correctly (beating an officer with a flag pole attached to an American flag Vs kneeling before that same flag), and non Christians.

https://www.cnn.com/2022/07/08/opinions/woke-war-united-shades-of-america-kamau-bell/index.htmlExcerpts:Do you believe that our schools should teach an accurate and age-appropriate history of the United States of America?I hope the answer is "Yes." If it isn't, then we have a problem. Isn't that why we teach history? So we can learn from it? If it isn't accurate, then the learning ceases to happen.Just this week in Texas, a group of nine educators is proposing that schools refer to "slavery" as "involuntary relocation." Nope. "Involuntary relocation" is what happened when my mom decided we were going to move from Boston to Chicago without my permission. As much I hated Chicago at first, I wouldn't compare it to slavery. But this is what the GOP wants. They want America to be the hero in every story told about America's past so that America can then be seen as the hero no matter what unheroic deeds America does in the present or the future. In the lexicon of the GOP, America doesn't have "too many mass shootings." It has "occasional involuntary not-alives."Critical Race Theory is not about any of that. It is an academic theory of how to look at the law through a racial lens. It asserts that you can't look at the laws in America without considering how America deals with (or doesn't deal with) race. If your child is learning about that in class, then your child is most likely in law school. Not elementary.I hate to say it, but this "woke war" is a symbol of so much more. Remember those PSAs that said "The more you know" and had a fun jingle? That's all "woke" is. It's the more you know. The more you know the better you're able to maneuver through this life and understand that the world is not all about you.
The deliberate and obvious whitewashing (pun intended) of American history is bad enough in and of itself; that so many Americans are willing to go with it is pretty concerning.
American exceptionalism indeed.
They were big mad when Dr Seuss' parent company decided to stop publishing a few of their lesser known books... meanwhile they're literally having book burnings in Tennessee.
Weird, huh?0 -

Weird, huh?I had never heard of any of those books, and I guarantee they weren’t filling the shelves in conservative households either.You are correct that censoring books or music, or movies as a matter of policy is their thing
remember the uproar the Lorax created a decade ago? It was spun by the right as a green agenda propaganda film brainwashing children. they obviously boycotted itPost edited by Cropduster-80 on0 -

It was 1000% their own decision as a private company, and conservatives 1000% lost their shit, because that's what they do.
"Racism doesn't exist, so how could Dr Seuss books be racist??????"0
