Ok I’ll resist. Percent Christian in the US is now down to 70% and dropping rapidly according to Pew. In another 10 years we’ll thankfully be able to say this is not a Christian nation.
There’s a difference between stating a statistical fact and making a claim of foundation. GP is talking about the stats, not making a statement about any kind of official establishment.
There's a reason Dante reserved the worst circle of hell for betrayers. I'm glad that she took the time to apologize to her ex-wife. It's better than nothing.
That said, the woman is promoting her new book on empathy, the implied claim being that she is now an expert.
No. You don't get to profit off of your redemptive journey (which I truly hope she doesn't think is complete). It boils the blood. I initially had a lot more expletives in this part of my comment draft.
also, f her, f NY times, this whole time I thought Cris was a dude named Chris. Calling her wife like it ain't no thing is really getting old now, and throwing in those Jewish words like she asking from them too. Yep, she's a sellout, she sold her soul long ago, now she's selling her time, but you be careful with that Dante dude too, many people sold them selves for fame and recognition.
The idea that you can "apologize" for your crimes and that somehow absolves you of your guilt or helps you to escape punishment is childish, and after a certain age idiotic.
Your mom accepts your apologies because she loves you. Nobody else cares about you, and they don't care about your excuses. If you really care so much that you would apologize for screwing up, then translate that caring into the actions you take so you don't screw up in the first place.
Or back off and let someone more capable take your place.
People need to grow up. It seems like this lesson is being lost on millions of men and women these days. Parents used to teach kids that the world outside your home is cold and indifferent, but recent generations are still acting like everyone else owes you your existence. That is delusional.

My parents were aghast when a cousin said they wouldn't baptize their new child.
Yet they hadn't gone to church in nearly twenty years.

What does this mean? What is asking from them?
Shitty people all around. And the entire article comes off as selfish, this guy didn't deserve the forgiveness he longed for.
