I weave textile floor coverings. I like them.

The puppies should choose your shoes for their latrine, instead.

It's not alright to single one of them out for condemnation.

Exceptions:

It's O.K. for an ex-Christian to condemn Christianity.
It's O.K. for an ex-Muslim to condemn Islam.
It's O.K. for an ex-Jehovah's Witness to condemn Jehovah's Witness-ism.
It's O.K. for anybody and everybody to condemn Scientology.

(Where' that "tongue-in-cheek smilie when I need it?)

There are some who sacrifice greatly for Lent, and you can't do the smallest thing. Shame.

after being deprived of sugar for 40 days.

Then, in the midst of his sugar rush, he starts running around the house breaking things, finally throwing a temper tantrum because his mommy won't let him have any more.

Now he sits pouting in his room, throwing things out the window at the cat cuz he's in a time out.

I have seen some ignorant things said before, but this tops the cake.

Having a problem with all religions does not make someone a hater. And that is what this is insinuating.

Seriously?

Looks like CJ Werleman, exposed and disgraced serial plagiarist, has been refining that meme for a little while:

When it comes to anti-Muslim bigotry though, it would appear ol' liar CJ knows what he is talking about:

White supremacy and Christianity are deeply intertwined, nearly inseparable. There are no ideals in atheism (that's a full sentence there) that can support any kind of supremacy. Some might argue for a form of intellectual supremacy, but they would be wrong, nothing to support it. They might base it in evolution but there is nothing there to support it either.

The KKK is alive and well, just keeping a low profile, and they are a white supremacist Christian terror group. All those black men, women, and children killed by cops? How many of those cops aren't Klan members? (Look up Ferguson and KKK if you have doubts)

This is pure slander and whoever posted it should be ashamed of themselves.
