It’s one thing to ponder this sort of relationship now, when I am able to pull women (don’t let my wife read this hah) and still functional and attractive. It’s like cocaine, I’m not doing it now, but when I’m 80, I might be snorting the hell out of it - consider this feeling applicable to cheap companionship, if I’m still kicking at that age and my wife has passed, I will be buried cheap perfume and soulless holes.

“You’re too extra” etc - damn right I am

“Bleeding heart liberal” etc - damn right I am

Christians/Catholics were presented with decades of evidence of systematic child rape and protection by the churches, crimes commited by literally thousands of priests… and did nothing. No mass exodus from the faith, no reform, no nothing. Now you think a little graven imagery/idolatry is going to cause a serious stir? Plleeaaasseeeee…
