As Dr. Stroop points out, jeebus was quite a manipulative f*ck. As pointed out elsewhere, paul was a chatty bitch (keepingit101.com/e307 12:28).
Just in time for Easter, I’ve made this previously paywalled essay about how Jesus was a jerk available for free.

when I tell you recording this #KeepingIt101 series on religion and adoption broke something in me...
roughly half of those adoptees are in the us. and about a tenth of us were placed in minnesota.
roughly half of the korean adoptees worldwide were placed by holt (one of four big agencies in korea) that was started by an evangelical family who took in eight babies and changing laws for all of us

there's this notion among some immigrants that white people don't get asked "where are you really from", it's true, they don't, but that's because if you do, the white person looks at you with a terrifying gaze, says FINALLY and then takes up the next hour of your life on a 2% match from macedonia
