Leviticus is a powerful set of guidelines for living a godly life, and chuckling at it, as Pat did, is unseemly. I think I will stop sending him money. I've practically been supporting him.

Mr. PsycWench is Jewish so I was prepared to have a serious disagreement but he acquiesced right away. Most of our friends with boys refused to circumcize, so foreskin may become the Mark of The Crunchy Parents.

"One of the most seminal moments of Pope Francis' papacy thus far was his response to a question about gay priests in 2013. His answer: "If someone is gay and he searches for the Lord and has good will, who am I to judge?"
