But the military, gets a 'special' exemption. No problem sending non-whites to war.

Since businesses are allowed to refuse service to gay couples simply for being gay couples, shouldn’t businesses be allowed to post ‘NO TRUMP SUPPORTERS PERMITTED ON PREMISES’ signs?

Amazon Is Full of AI-Written Novels That Don’t Make Sense

Authors and customers were shocked Monday morning to find that out of 100 books on Amazon’s “Teen & Young Adult Contemporary Romance eBooks” Best Sellers list, only 19 were “legitimate” books written by actual human authors. AI produced the other 81 books. How could people tell? The differences were evident: The text made no sense, the manuscripts were messily formatted, and the covers had been slapped together, usually with a single background graphic and an unstylized title. The listings were also suspicious, with zero information (like synopses, review quotes, highlights, or graphics) to help readers decide whether to dig in or pass. At most, they featured two or three random sentences in the description section of the listing.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Tennessee Shaman Curses Barbie Film

Quote:The new Barbie movie has made one person very unhappy: Tennessee pastor Kent Christmas, who took to his congregation at the Regeneration Nashville megachurch to condemn and proclaim "holy judgment" upon the film, reported PinkNews on Monday.

“I curse in the name of the Lord this new Barbie movie that has been released full of transsexual, and transgender, and homosexuality,” said Christmas, in footage from his sermon posted on Twitter.

Maybe he cast chicken bones and read sheep entrails to determine the content of a film that hasn't been released.

It's about a woman questioning her life with a man, so of course it's an evil movie.
