Do they have membership cards to show Ferrets are Cool Apr 2018 #5

Depends entirely on the amount of coffee I consume ;-) gay texan Apr 2018 #102

Glad they fired him. Cuthbert Allgood Apr 2018 #3

At least NOW... yallerdawg Apr 2018 #4

And why weren't they before? Major Nikon Apr 2018 #7

Thanks for being consistent. Eko Apr 2018 #65

Good thing he isn't a Christian or we'd have to forgive him Major Nikon Apr 2018 #6

Valid point. JNelson6563 Apr 2018 #8

Harassment and misogyny are universal problems. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #9

No, I am simply providing a basis for making my point that abuse is abuse. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #27

We also don't know whether or not the Pope is drowning kittens in his bathtub Major Nikon Apr 2018 #31

All you have to do is ignore significance and relevancy for the fallacy to work Major Nikon Apr 2018 #71

To respond, it is, in fact, 3 shared traits. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #72

Factually speaking there's many more than 3 shared traits Major Nikon Apr 2018 #76

Christian supremacy is alive and well Major Nikon Apr 2018 #22

But some people are even more guilty. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #28

It's weird to hear an argument... yallerdawg Apr 2018 #29

Confused? Of course you are! guillaumeb Apr 2018 #30

You must be really confused why child raping pastors are bigger news than other child rapists Major Nikon Apr 2018 #39

Thank you for bringing up the 11th Commandment. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #45

And Silverman Eko Apr 2018 #90

He has whatever rights apply to his position. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #93

So he has due process also. Eko Apr 2018 #99

I never said otherwise. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #104

the thing is you used Eko Apr 2018 #100

Welcome! yallerdawg Apr 2018 #74

So why do you insist on doing it for others? Major Nikon Apr 2018 #77

I'm saying you believe and act on your faith, everyone does. yallerdawg Apr 2018 #82

So you define what everyone does, then say you're not defining what everyone does Major Nikon Apr 2018 #86
