Each teaching has to be evaluated on its own merits, its basis in reality, and its effect on the child and how they relate to others. Whether it's religious in origin is ultimately beside the point.

The only monster here is the gambling monster that has enslaved your mother, I call him Gamblor! And it's time to snatch your mother from his neon claws!

Traditional breakfast dishes are my favorite for dinner.

Oh, I just put that one in there as a joke.

The compulsory serving of asparagus at breakfast, free corsets for the under-fives, and the abolition of slavery.

I left during the API kerfuffle even though I didn't use an app. I had been thinking about getting off of it for some time prior to that because I realized doomscrolling was negatively affecting my mental health. So I followed the refugees from /r/DaystromInstitute

How many assholes have we got on this planet anyhow?

Sounds like sour grapes to me.

Article 5 doesn't oblige members to take any particular action. It only says that an attack on one is an attack on all, and leaves it to each member to decide what actions, if any, they will take in response.

Wife trouble
A man wakes up with a hangover after a night of drinking. He doesn't even remember how he got home, and is worried that his wife will be mad.
The first thing he sees is a couple of aspirins next to a glass of water on the side table. And, next to them, a single red rose.
He sits up and sees his clothing in front of him, all cleaned and pressed. He looks around the room and sees that it is in perfect order, spotlessly clean. So is the rest of the house.
He takes the aspirins, cringes when he sees a huge black eye staring back at him in the bathroom mirror. Then he notices a note hanging on the corner of the mirror written in red with little hearts on it and a kiss mark from his wife in lipstick: "Honey, breakfast is on the stove, I left early to get groceries to make you your favorite dinner tonight. I love you, darling!"
He stumbles to the kitchen and sure enough, there is hot breakfast, steaming hot coffee and the morning newspaper.
His 16 year old son is also at the table, eati

Two hunters
Two hunters are out in the woods when one of them collapses. He doesn't seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed.
The other guy whips out his phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps, "My friend is dead! What can I do?"
The operator says, "Calm down. I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead."
There is a silence; then a gun shot is heard. Back on the phone, the guy says, "OK, now what?"

I thought I was being pretty diplomatic

Of Biblical Proportions
An elderly Catholic priest dies one night peacefully in his sleep after a long life of serving God, and finds himself standing at the pearly gates.
"You were such a pious and holy man in life," began St. Peter, "that as a reward you can make one request of me before leaving behind your worldly cares and entering heaven."
"Well," says the priest, "I'd like to read the original manuscript of the Bible."
Even more impressed now than before, St. Peter grants the request and takes the priest to God's own private library, before leaving him to his studies.
Shortly afterward, the priest lets out an unholy shriek. St. Peter rushes into the library and asks, "what is it? What's wrong?!"
And through gritted teeth and streams of tears the priest cried out: "Celebrate! It says celebrate, not celibate!"
