I am not aware of the gospels making any mention of a centurion at Calvary. That was Hollywood

❤️ There is also a possibility that you might become a very progressive left of center minority Christian who strives to build inclusive, affirming community that embodies love and does not think flawed translation and lack of socio-cultural awareness create infallible written doctrine.

I want you all to know how much I appreciate the intelligence and kindness I have experienced here, in STARK contrast to the stupid ugliness I receive daily for any informative or questioning comment I make on FB. This selfie is entitled, “Sometimes it be like that”.

In the US you’ll need to look for blue bachelor buttons. The cornflower here is a chicory plant’s blooms

This is the chicory plant pictured below, which is called a cornflower in the US

Yes. Both bachelor buttons and chicory are called cornflowers

Cornflower blue is from a different cornflower, the chicory plant pictured below

Chicory is also called cornflower. It is a different plant species

The chicory plant pictured below is also called a cornflower. It is a completely different species

Where I live these are called bachelor buttons, and the cornflower is a chicory plant’s blooms. (Chicory, pictured below, is called cornflower also, and is a true “cornflower blue”)

These are not cornflowers, these are blue bachelor buttons. I know because I grow them, and cornflowers grow wild here. They are two completely different flowers.

They are. Cornflowers are a completely different species

Hopefully they’re plotting to overthrow the government

It’s racism 101 to demean someone from a particular group by using a stereotypic name instead of their own—why is no one calling it what it is?

What?

Oh nom nom nom tasty boot!

Dozens?! I’m no scientist and I’ve read many thousands of books. Dozens!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
