I lived in the same house with my ex quite a while, but we were going through a pretty nasty divorce. Still, you don't get over breakups in 15 mins, even if you wish you could.

Gawd said nothing about abortions. Jesus said nothing about abortions. The Catholics, whose popes apparently speak to Gawd, were told in the late 1800s. Fundamentalist Protestant Christians started believing it after Bob Jones U lost a court case. The history is on the internet.

He saluted a NK general. Maybe it was good that he surrendered to the Taliban, and almost invited them to Camp David on a 9/11 anniversary. Maybe that made his properties more valuable. I have no idea how to value world properties, but I sorta doubt he has one of the best.

Gawd was a mean son of a bitch, smiting guys for pissing on his wall, and leaving a trail of blood everywhere. Then, he suddenly became a nice guy, and sent Jesus along to tell people he had reformed, but he neither said to stop abortions nor stopped doing them himself.

It never hurt me. You evangelical "Christians" live in such fear. Did Jesus say to be afraid of everything? If you don't like feminists, you're not required to marry one or associate with them. But constantly ranting about them makes you look weak.

In the 1970s, there were bars and women in miniskirts in Kabul. Women could go to college. The wealthy could send them here. Then rural sensibilities took over and it is no more. I think most of Afghanistan is as you describe. We can influence the culture but can't force change.

Many don't know or pretend they don't know that political parties change over time. For example, most educated Americans have been voting Democratic lately. And white Southern Democrats became Republicans. Strom Thurmond, who ran for prez as a Dixiecrat in 1948, is an example.

Looking at your profile, Christ never said a thing about abortions. No Christians thought a fetus was a child when I was growing up, and fundamentalist Protestants didn't care a bit about abortions until the 1970s. Where was Jesus all those centuries?

A hate crime law in an "unwoke" Republican state heavily influenced by evangelicals. Was it signed into law to prevent people from attacking Christian churches and symbols, and it's being enforced equally? You're gonna wear that victim card out. It's gasping for air already.
