And they need to defend their position as the penetrator by affirming that they are above the penetratees in the social hierarchy lest someone else try to penetrate them.

Cool cool, and they get to do this all tax free with the endorsement of the state? What a world.

We attended a northern Baptist church. Their backward philosophy says that women cannot have a leadership role. My wife was choir director which wasn’t popular. It led to us leaving the church.

I honestly don't know why you and your wife would even put up with 2 minutes of that.

Pope Francis has formally approved allowing priests to bless same-sex couples, with a new document explaining a radical change in Vatican policy by insisting that people seeking God's love and mercy shouldn't be subject to "an exhaustive moral analysis" to receive it.

The new document repeats that rationale and elaborates on it, reaffirming that marriage is a lifelong sacrament between a man and a woman. And it stresses that blessings should not be conferred at the same time as a civil union, using set rituals or even with the clothing and gestures that belong in a wedding.

Good lord man, stop pussyfooting around, and end the bigotry already.

It's like watching Dungeons & Dragons players discuss the rules while going into the minutia. So f'ing ridiculous and useless, these religious creeps are basically larping in their imaginary world.

An Iranian rapper has been sentenced to death in Iran for "corruption on earth", basically supporting the women's freedom movement. Islam is truly disgusting and backwards, it must be terrible to live in fear of these religious lunatics

On Nov. 2, 2022, Salehi appeared in a video blindfolded and with a swollen face as he apologized for encouraging security forces to abandon their posts. Another forced apology video was released that December, showing Salehi speaking to someone who resembles an interrogator; the camera angles appeared to mimic those from his music video for “Divination.”

After more than a year behind bars, Salehi was released on bail in late 2023. Days later, he posted a video to his YouTube account in which he explained his forced confessions and alleged that he had been tortured.

“They broke my arms and my legs. They were hitting my face and my head, so at first I tried to cover myself with my hands, and they broke my fingers,” Salehi said.

He was arrested again less than two weeks later for “publishing lies and disturbing the public mind after publishing some false and undocumented comments online,” the judiciary’s media outlet reported.
