Voters hold negative views of Al. In fact, the only topics less popular in the survey were the Democratic Party and Iran.

Baby new year 1926 holding a sign 

I RESOLVE
To remember that there are others in the world beside myself, both motorists and pedestrians, and that the essence of being a good motorist is to realize that these others have rights that I should respect and I will remember to respect these rights at all times, leaning a little toward unnecessary courtesy and consideration to others, if l lean at all.

I guess a piece like this is probably too β€œwoke” to see and honor today.

I’m convinced a good number of priests, especially the academic ones, are irreligious.

That class’ teacher was a lay teacher but there’s no way that dude was a believer.

Doubt spark: god not moving the fan in St Hugh’s church as a kid.

Abandonment spark: learning the textual history of the Bible in my senior year theology class.

Very easy to be a Unitarian, just make sure to talk to the minister and get on the books.

do yourself a favor folks, if you're 26 or younger, make a plan to dodge the draft. it's not making the problem about you -- the child you don't go overseas to kill will thank you for it in fact. and if it doesn't come to pass, better to have a plan and not need it than need it and not have it

Happy international working women’s day. Women’s lives are dramatically improved when they don’t have to economically rely on men in romantic partnership.

The death of God happened to me in 4th grade. In the middle of Mass I, begged God to move the fan in the top of the church as a small sign of His existence and nothing happened.
