You don't see how Jesus Christ, the Messiah of the Christian church, who are named for being "Christ like", and the Bible, the holy book of his teachings and God's stances on the rules to enter heaven, are relevent to his people?

I actually agree with you.

Jesus and the Bible are irrelevant to Christians.

I think he's referring to Jesus' pro-slavery stances.

Agreed but the play was reviewable. However, there are rules saying you can't call a new penalty during a review. This needs to change.

To add to this, it's widely used in Brazil who copied it from surf culture.

China also uses it as part of their one hand counting system. To them it's the number 6 (pronounced 'leo'). The use of it in western culture has allowed them to adopt it as a way of saying something is cool. They will say 666 (pronounced "leo leo leo") while making the hand gesture to say something is cool. This fact was very fun to explain to my ultra conservative family back in the states.

Source: I taught in China for nine years in an international school with a very large Brazilian community.

You're correct. But i also said Ignore and not "do nothing". It's possible to ignore the hate while still fighting for your rights.

What the fuck makes her a corporate stooge? She's a prosecutor while the actual corporate stooge is trying to grift $100,000 watches.

Hey, I just wanted to tell you something cause it sounds like you might be in a bad place. Even with all of the political finger pointing surrounding your identity, you need to know something very important.

Your life matters. Your experiences matter. Your feelings matter.

You matter.

Ignore all the hatred and all the fear. Ignore the bigotry and close mindedness. Ignore it all and know that there are so many people out there that will love you and support you and accept you.

You are not alone.
