    Just a sad story all the way around.  I can't imagine the fear of living as this man pleased, only to be outed by some schmuck for seemingly nothing more than cheap publicity.  Worse, the "reporter" seems to have zero remorse, what a winner.  I could go on a lengthy diatribe about religion, lack of acceptance and love, and self loathing caused by this environment, but I'll skip it.  I'll just say this, we should be better.  

    His church seemed both accepting and loving.

    Yeah, that total seems ridiculous.  From a public health perspective 26,000 rapes, period, since 2022 is unacceptable.  

    The number does seem ridiculous. Then again, any number is fucking unacceptable.

    With his massive coke addiction, you would think he travels with his own stash.  but he doesn't, he has a travel companion go out and get it locally.  How fucking hard can it be to lace it with fentanyl and be done with his dumbass?  His luck is literally better than his father's.  This is not that fucking hard, America.  It's not like getting to the Pope.  It's just jacked-up blow.  Easiest thing in the industry these days.

    We missed Valentines Day but how about we make some heart candy but only with messages like "MAGA" , "Trump #1",  "No Immigrants".  Buy for $5 and sell for $19.99.  Make it so!

  5. Today’s missive from Hartzell must not acknowledge UT already closing the decades old Multicultural Engagement Center. 
     

    To wit, the university bulldozed the many programs that the Multicultural Engagement Center housed, including: the New Black Student Weekend, Adelante, CultivAsian, Bloq Party, Four Directions, the Leadership Institutes, Afrikan American Affairs, the Asian Desi Pacific Islander American Collective, Latino Leadership Council, Native American and Indigenous Collective, Queer Trans Black Indigenous People of Color and Allies, Students for Equity and Diversity, and signature graduation ceremonies like Black Graduation, Latinx Graduation, GraduAsian, Lavender Graduation, the Monarch Center. The Gender and Sexuality Center was also replaced by the Women’s Community Center.”

    Great summary of your thoughts. I agree with pretty much everything you state here with a slight nit to pick with “egregious over representation.”

    I was wondering about the same sentence.
     

    I guess it speaks to my lack of awareness, but I assumed these programs were about identifying marginalized groups, and supporting individuals in practical day to day issues, as well as assistance in class work and, as per Brisket, mentoring abut future options, but also about informing the broader community about those on the margins. 
     

    Details on these programs would be helpful. I’ll look into it.
     

    Edited to say that I see Imma already spoke to the question.

    If what you suppose is the case, and maybe it will turn out that it is, why did our elected politicians need to pass a law to address it? That just feels to me like we made university administrators do a lot of work to restructure programs all in the name of politics.

    It is a carefully worded statement, but Hartzell does say some “student facing programs” will not exist next semester, as well as admit that all remaining programs will be become broader. Which limits the effectiveness of targeted efforts. It would be nice to think, like Imma, there will be no change, but I guess I am more cynical.

  8. Daughter just texted and said UT is shuttering their DEI program effective immediately.

    Here is the communication from Hartzell:

  9. The Lord’s Prayer is the only prayer my family says together.  

    Unsurprising tfg doesn’t know the words. He doesn’t know the pledge of allegiance either, which is literally dumbfounding.

    God became man so that man could become God. Happy ham Easter. 

    God created a universe which inexorably led to a consciousness capable of an experience of God, because sharing is a natural impulse for those without personality defects.

    Hey, he figured out how to spell "indicted" so there's that.  

    So, can we change the thread title back to the original one, so that a V means victory?

    Both testaments? Are there only two? 

    Do you think the character of Jesus in the Bible was a real person who actually existed? If so, why?

    Meaning, the old and new testaments of the Bible. There are other texts, with which I not as familiar but have some awareness of, including the Zohar, as well as gnostic texts not included in the New Testament. Of these, the gospels of Mary and Thomas influence my beliefs.

    Yes, I believe Jesus lived. He was mentioned in the writings of both Roman and Jewish historians.

    Oh, I totally misinterpreted your post. Yeah, it’s crazy that people believe this stuff. And it’s obvious that most of the believers have never read what’s in their scripture. Not all of it and not objectively, anyway. How many of them have only watched The Ten Commandments and think they know the scripture? More than not, I’d wager. (Fine movie, though. So is Star Wars. And The Adventures of Robin Hood. They’re all fantasy.)

    I’ve read both testaments, as well as your earlier post. I don’t dispute the author’s points, but I do take issue with Paul’s proclamation. Jesus was a teacher, and he had a profound impact on our species. Because I believe in those teachings, I consider myself Christian. Peace.

  15. Christian Nationalism is inherently contradictory. Don’t trust me, trust the source material for Christians. Y’all might want to also read up on the consequences of denying truth, because that is possibly the only deadly sin.
     

    It is disquieting, this wholesale abandonment of truth. Made more so by this eschatological component of evangelicals. Which supposedly includes a biblically scaled delusion, amplifying the “father of lies,” and yet sent by God,
