The day my 18 year old grandson was killed in a car accident in pouring rain, ten days before Christmas 2016 was the worst day of my life. My son called on his day off, which was unusual, and I said, “what’s up?” He said in a hoarse voice that…

My daughter, my second child, is 55. I was very young, 19, when I had her. I didn’t want another child. I was deeply depressed. I was in an abusive relationship with my husband whom I married at 17 and he was 4 months younger. I thought of falling down…

And considering how certain rabidly Christian politicians are trying to change school curriculum... Best article on Christian Evangelism I have read in a very long time. You covered so much so well. It really disturbs me to see the legislation of a certain religion which is happening now all over…

"The problem with “the gays” is that it makes us sound like a homogenous gang with the same tastes, dreams, and life experiences. We don’t meet up once a week to discuss what we love and what we hate so that we are all on the same page. We don’t wear matching outfits, worship all the same divas, and live in the gym." Loved your piece. This part reminds me of people who ask about atheists in the same way. We really have nothing in common except we don't believe in any god or gods. So thank you from this mostly straight woman for your enlightening article.

" Its message of divine judgment, human resilience, and new beginnings ..." Ah yes, divine judgment. So god is not love. He is authoritarian and judgmental. The great punisher. But yes, I think you are right. There was a flood that spooked the locals in the area you mentioned and many stories came from it, passed down from generation to generation, embellishing along the way.

She was Simply the Best. I saw her in concert and she had such energy. I am so sad to hear of her health struggles so early and now her death. She will never be forgotten.

Disturbing. I wonder why he didn't just gag her instead of kill her. Probably he intended to kill her so she could not identify him anyway. Good reporting.

"There are Ten Commandments in the Bible, and not one of them specifically protects the most vulnerable among us. Did the Christian God, who calls us all his children, not think about the actual children," Of course the Bible does not talk about the care of children because it was written by men. Men who may have never had a child or if they did it was totally the mother's responsibility to deal with it.

So you are right. Logically. But personally I want to hear about the team, Ted and all the other characters in London. He does Skype with his son often. But really, this is not a show about motherhood or Ted's now ex, who may have made her decision long ago to divorce, since she very quickly had a boyfriend/fiance. Ted Lasso is about Ted finding himself and helping others to become better versions of themselves. I don't care about what is going on in Kansas. I love Ted Lasso just the way it is.
