Every time I walk away from it all, I come back so much stronger and happier.
PLEASE log off for your mental health.
Read a book, go for a walk, pick up a new language, learn to play the recorder, watch a Disney movie.

(34,086 posts)Although the phrase I used was cotton-pickin' hands. (As in, "get your cotton-picking hands off of my stuff"
I stopped to think what I wactually saying - where the phrase might have come from. I'd never thought about it before. What I realized that what I was almost literally saying was, "get your dirty black (slave) hands off my stuff."
I checked afterwards - and although it isn't universally considered racist, it is by enough folks that that was the last time I said it.
FWIW

(12,904 posts)In my family, the hands that picked the cotton were all poor white people, who picked that cotton to provide for the family.

(34,086 posts)It had literally never occurred to me until my use of that phrase was met with such stony silence.

(36,875 posts)Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions.
I personally do not like the concept of a prayer breakfast, no matter who in in charge.

I am including this Democracy Now article and recording.
Just a snip too.

AVID CAY JOHNSTON: I did not appreciate, until I worked on the book, that while Donald holds himself out as a devout Christian"No one reads the Bible more than me"while he has all these pastors embracing him as a good Christian man, Donald aggressively, thoroughly and at great length, in many forums, denounces Christianity. His personal motto is "always get revenge," whereas the message of Jesus Christ was "turn the other cheek." And these ministers, some of whom Ive written to and haventthey havent responded at allcontinue to embrace him. And I find it very troubling. Donald has beguiled them with flattery. If they continue, now that my book is out, if they know about it, to do this, they are then deceiving their flocks, and thats evil. But Donald himself doesnt care about these things. He will tell you any lie. He cant quote a single line from the Bible. Not one. And yet he says, "No one reads the Bible more than Donald Trump." If you ask him, "Well, what do you like in the Bible?" "Oh, theres so many. Theres so many. I justthere are so many, I cant choose."

(24,032 posts)...as "churched" house, which is even odder.
I did not take our sons to church when they were kids, as I wanted to be the only one teaching them about spirituality. I found that I was quite hesitant about telling people this, because when you say admit you don't go to church, or don't take your kids, you are often regarded with suspicion and wariness, as if you were some sort of subversive.
I finally came up with my own term. Some people home school their kids. I home churched mine. We talked about all manner of things relevant to spirituality and living an enlightened life. Our sons, now 24 and soon to be 27, are decent, moral, compassionate, open-minded and thoughtful young men who care about others and the planet.
