A Note to Jessa's God: We'll Trade You Soup for the Duggars

A Note to Jessa's God: We'll Trade You Soup for the Duggars
Religious extremism is alive and well in the Duggar household, and its ugly tentacles extend far beyond the reach of the family’s matriarch, Michelle. TLC’s hate-filled First Family regularly gets their kicks while filming their long-running show 19 Kids and Counting, but now one of the nine girls is in the news for something else entirely: her hate-filled God.

“People are content to live on in lying, cursing, pride, anger, bitterness, disrespecting of parents, lust, pornography, fornication, adultery, and other sexual sins — and if anyone tries to confront them, their attitude and response is, ‘You live your life, I’ll live mine. Don’t you tell me what to do! Only God can judge me!'” Jessa wrote. “They don’t even realize what they’re saying. God’s judgement [sic] isn’t something to be taken lightly! It should scare you! Man’s ‘judgement’ [sic] is a 1000x lighter… usually just a voicing of disapproval. But when unbelieving, sinful men die and stand before God, He justly condemns them to hell.”

Note: The newlywed should probably learn how to correctly spell the word “judgment”… since it’s most likely her God wouldn’t be able to objectively tolerate a nit wit unable to utilize the God-given tool of spell check. You read that right — God gave it to us, and she should probably make a habit of using it.

Now, I am not one to regularly fault a person for their editorial mistakes, but inaccuracies, that’s another issue entirely. Has she actually met God? Did he offer her soup in a bread bowl upon her arrival? You know that broccoli and cheese kind you get at Panera that’s like crack? How does one claim to preach about a God one knows absolutely nothing about, personally?

Religion, spirituality, meditation, and connection with one’s higher self, I am all for it. But when hate-filled words and actions against a group (or groups) of people are bringing in copious amounts of dirty money for religious extremist groups — like the American Family Association — an insane editorial like this one must be executed. I mean, seriously, is anyone picking on Jill for not being allowed to wear short sleeves or kiss a man before her wedding day? Jesus wandered in the desert… do you really think he didn’t kiss the first person (male or female) he came across when he rejoined civilization? He could’ve invented the very first public kiss-in! Too bad we didn’t have cameras back then to justify this reasoning, but you get the picture.

I can’t help but wonder: If God were going to judge me, would he not judge me based on how many times I felt hate, despair, loss, and turmoil versus how many times I have loved?

I believe, Jessa. I believe in a God that is accepting of homophobic people like your family, and still allowed them into Heaven. If there is a Heaven, the jury’s still out on that one.

Kentucky State Senate Overwhelmingly Passes Anti-trans Bathroom Bill for Students

Kentucky State Senate Overwhelmingly Passes Anti-trans Bathroom Bill for Students

Ky

Yesterday, the Kentucky Senate approved a bill that would require transgender students in the state to use the bathroom that matches their biological sex rather than their gender identification.

The vote was 27-9, with three Republicans joining Senate Democrats in opposing the bill. 

The Courier-Journal reports:

EmbryRepublican Sen. C.B. Embry (right), the bill’s sponsor, calls it a “common sense” approach to guide school administrators and safeguard privacy in areas where students are in a state of undress. Supporters argue the rule also would help protect transgender students from bullying and harassment by providing separate accommodations.

But opponents charged Friday that lawmakers are yielding to fear and discrimination. They said the bill will strip flexibility from school districts and violate federal guidelines on civil rights for transgender students.

“We need to acknowledge that this is the civil rights issue of our current time, and today this Senate has failed the people of Kentucky,” said Sen. Reginald Thomas, a Democrat who warned that the legislation would “cast a shroud of darkness” over the Senate.

Under the legislation, transgender students must either use the bathroom of their biological sex or seek special accommodations such as a faculty or unisex bathroom. 

The Lexington Herald-Leader has background on why the bill was introduced in the first place:

The bill stems from a controversy last year at Atherton, where a transgender student who was born male identified as a female and wanted to use the girls’ bathrooms and locker rooms.

A controversy arose, and the school eventually adopted a policy of letting students use bathrooms based on their gender identity. The decision was backed by the school’s site-based council and a Jefferson County Public Schools appeals committee. 

The bill now heads to the Democrat-controlled House, where Speaker Greg Stumbo has already indicated he isn’t interested in taking up the bill and “deciding where kids can go to the bathroom.”
