We're wanting to mail H's birth certificate application in ASAP, but we don't have any postage stamps. Can anyone spare $20 for us to get a book of them (includes the shipping and handling from the USPS website)? We'd greatly appreciate it!

When I left Evangelical Christianity in 2016, I also lost 90% of my social circle. I turned to social media and found a bunch of people who were in the same situation as I was, and some of those people became my best friends

Please explain the racism you have experienced from "mentally unstable black women". Share with the class how you have been systematically oppressed because of your whiteness. Quickly!

I'm taking confirmation classes at my neighborhood Episcopal church, and this reminds me of Sunday's class when the priest discussed how the church would swing back and forth between Protestant and Catholic (and included a picture of pendulum) lol

This guy literally did what Jesus would've done (call them to repentance and offer salvation) and they fucking shot him and laughed about it. I don't want to hear one Evangelical whining about being persecuted when shit like this is happening

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

(RNS) — Last month, the Rev. David Black stood in front of a Chicago-area U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility and spread his arms wide. Adorned in all black and wearing a clerical collar, the pastor looked up at a group of masked, heavily armed ICE agents on the roof and began to pray.

“I invited them to repentance,” Black, a minister in the Presbyterian Church (USA), said in an interview. “I basically offered an altar call. I invited them to come and receive that salvation, and be part of the kingdom that is coming.”

But when Black began to lower his arms a few seconds later, the agents responded to his spiritual plea by firing pepper balls, or chemical agents that cause eye irritation and respiratory distress, video footage shows. One struck Black in the head, exploding into a puff of white pepper smoke and forcing him to his knees. Fellow demonstrators rushed to his aid, and as the pastor rubbed his face in pain, the agents continued to fire.

“We could hear them laughing,” Black said.
