A minor who is divorced or widowed sounds pretty sad. I guess that would make one grow up fast.

I'm still trying to learn to identify as "male" and now I have to identify as a "unit"? I think I'm too old for these adaptations.

My FL hospital asked me for "Religion" and I said Pastafarian. There was no check-off box.

>"Have you considered necrophilia?"

I presume this would be before the worm stage.

Yep, I live there. The main reason it became a SHC anyway is that the reactionary elite lost the hot phase of the Civil War (1861-65), but managed to win the cold phase (1865-77).

I know that the answer to this country's problems is not splitting the country into red and blue states.

That being said, I can see a benefit to being rid of states like West Virginia and Florida. Perhaps absorbing them into a nearby state to dilute the stupid and in some cases, evil.

All that does is create bigger states that vote Republican and give the assholes more power

from legal child brides in West Virginia to legal Child Labor in Arkansas, , Republicans across the country are clearly proving to us everyday Americans that they're all about protecting children from exploitation.

The claim that Joseph was much older has no support in the record - it's just as plausible he was around the same age or a few years older - that Joseph was apparently dead at the time of the crucifixion is hardly conclusive evidence - a physical laborer being dead by 50 or early is perfectly plausible

There is no evidence he was previously married or that Jesus siblings were anything but the biological children Mary and Joseph

Also I don't think Hebrew women of that era got married that early

The notion that Joseph was much older comes from a notion that he was specifically selected by Jewish elders to raise the Messiah - it's more than a little bonkers

I hear Lauren Boebert is going to have a 15 year old daughter-in-law soon. Talk about taking their country back. Back to the 1600's!

Groomers.

The Catholic Church also pushed the notion Joseph was much older than mary.

Are you SURE about that? I would certainly call the "entertainment" wing of Fox News "grooming", even though it's not targeted specifically at children. "Grooming" is their word for indoctrination.

She turned 16, but I'm sure BoBo is going to make sure her and Little BoBo who don't wear a mask or a condom either never ever have to take advantage of any Socialism to help raise the little kid.
