To many atheists (or agnostics), all the religions seem equally unlikely, unverifiable, and unnecessary. (And, well, in a word, wacky.)
As an Orthodox Christian, I should have found this article encouraging. But it makes me more...concerned. Faith is not therapy for masculine insecurities.

Norm and Bovino are attacking Chicago protestors for simply expressing dissent. Judge Ellis quoted Benjamin Franklin: “The freedom of speech is a principal pillar in a free Government: when this support is taken away the Constitution is dissolved, and Tyranny is erected on its Ruins.”

Was the more than 20-fold rise in trans identities since 2010 the result of people finally feeling free to express their authentic selves? Or was it a social contagion?
5 years ago, I and others were canceled for suggesting the latter. New evidence shows we were right.

It's never comfortable to recognize a double-standard, but when the deaths from wanton butchering in Sudan are "mass killing" but deaths in a war with Hamas in Gaza are "genocide," maybe a little dispassionate judiciousness is in order.
What a callous thing to say
10,000 dead in a few days, and the Yale Daily News calls it genoc
no wait
*touches earpiece*
I'm being informed that the term this time is "mass killings"
Huh. Interesting.

Q: "Did he specifically ask you not to provide Tomahawks?"
