When researchers find that nearly one in four workers has been fired or threatened with firing for taking time to care for themselves or a sick family member, newspapers should be covering this as an urgent economic problem facing our country. And when 95 percent of school nurses who participated in an online poll by the National Association of School Nurses in 2009 say a parent has told them they couldn’t pick up a sick child for fear of losing a job, there should be an outcry from political commentators on the right, left and center about the way our economy fails to uphold American family values.

But for real. And when I tell them about a part of the bible they don’t know about they say, “well, we’d have to talk about Father Charlie about this, because he can probably explain it better than you can”. Yup, get the man whose JOB is to twist it around, only ever talk about the feel-good nicey parts of the bible, and openly recruit and retain followers to talk about how the bible should be looked at. Just openly seek out bias why don’t you?

Makes you look pretty fucking heartless if you are homophobic or supported Prop 8, doesn’t it?
