It has to suck to want to belong to a group that preaches unconditional love and acceptance from Jesus, for everybody BUT you. How nice to be free of that burden of constant rejection. Be free from true discrimination. You go, Barney.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
