Because he kissed Jesus's cheek which is the big gay and as well know some "historians" have an allergies to admitting that yes gay people existed back then.

Kissing a man on the cheek isn't gay in other cultures. Are you suggesting that all the characters in the Sopranos, most of whom were very homophobic, were gay because they kissed on the cheek?

I mean I was just making a joke about the tendency of historians to deny and cover up homosexual historical figures, but that would be funny.

My parents are considering not sending me to school again after summer because of 1. a pandemic or something like that, and 2. anti-Christian values.

I will be making a thread about public education now. :p

My two cats are from the same litter according to the rescue group I adopted them from, but I swear they are polar opposites in so many ways.

Sterling is a solid grey cat who is fat and lazy and eats all the time. When he sleeps in his bed, he sleeps on his back and stretches way out so his limbs are laying out of the bed. Sometimes he snores too. Really the only time he ever plays is when he decides to sink his claws into my toes. He's also super chill. Sterling has slept on the end of the recliner while I've been relaxing in it, and when I sit up and lower the chair, instead of moving, he just lets me roll him off the chair. He did not react at all when they were setting off fireworks in my neighborhood this weekend. Honestly I think you could set off a bomb next to him and he'd sleep through it.

Pippa is a tiny cream tabby. Though I think she thinks her name is Pipsqueak since that's what we call her all the time (because she's little). She plays all the time, and when she runs, she always goes "mew-meow" before she takes off, as if she's revving up. She also sometimes fluffs out her tail when she runs. She can't sit still for more than five minutes before she gets up and moves somewhere else, though sometimes she settles down on my lap and sleeps. She's not as chill as Sterling is, and she's also much more vocal. Oh, and she also likes weird things like Doritos and French fries (don't worry she doesn't normally get them; she stole a fry from mom one time and ate it, and she ate a Dorito crumb my mom dropped; we feed her actual cat food).

Gays, evolution, and racism being bad, those are my top 3 guesses.
Lib-left. Antifascist, antitankie, anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist (including the imperialism of non-western countries). Christian (Unitarian Universalist). Background in physics.
Mostly a girl. She or they pronouns, please. Unrepentant transbian.

You got 2/3, with their main concern being bullying against the people who disagree. Racism being bad is something we all agree with.

Biblical Angel: Be not Afraid.

Angel: I said be not afraid!

Human: EVERYBODY RUN! THERE'S A FIERY GLOWING WHEEL IN THE SKY WITH EYES ALL OVER IT!

Angel: Jesus, send your mother next time.

As far as I remember, every time an angel appeared to someone, it had to tell them not to be afraid. So they're pretty terrifying.
