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"

I have had a good day thus far. Saw two of my three kids. Got a text from future daughter-in-law and also one from oldest granddaughter.
Taken out for breakfast, talked to a couple women in the family who I didn't give birth to.

Called my 90yo step a few minutes ago. Her mind is going.
Sad to say but most would consider the conversation a great comedy routine.

Forgot to mention that I got a text from middle kid. If you knew her, you'd understand why this is unusual.

I think the phrase ‘Happy Mothers Day’ is exclusionary - why should only happy mothers get a day? It seems like depressed, sad, or angry mothers could do with a bit of recognition.
