Said my boss, critiquing* my corrections of his poorly written narrative. Grrrr….. Nuns, just because you don’t know *how* to use a semicolon, it doesn’t mean that a semicolon shouldn’t ever be used. I guess they can’t limit their misteachings to just religion; they also want to spread ignorant lies about grammar, too. That’s like me saying the double harmonic scale should never be used because I don’t know how to play a musical instrument. * Sorry, I guess no one should use French words like “critiquing” because I am not fluent in French. Do you want to not be mocked by people who know how to use a semicolon? Learn here, here, or here. |

(of multiple years or of a date range) Taking place a specified number of years following the assumed birth of Jesus Christ. I like seeing information about Jesus put in its proper context. |
When my sister in law posts notes like this on Facebook, I feel that she grossly under appreciates the magnitude and intensity of suffering and what a psycho her god would be to willingly inflict such suffering as a “test”. Instead, I think she is referring more to the stress of planning a wedding (for example).
I guess God tests some people by making it hard to find a parking space or a wedding venue, and others he tests by giving them AIDS from birth and almost zero food to eat, and as a bonus round, they must fend off brutal marauders.
