Who do you think the God, his father, that he is always talking to is? Some imaginary friend?

Have you ever thought we are all our own GOD? And experiencing life as part of one living organism. Like our bodies are made of millions of cells and Earth is also full of millions of cells being us. So we are all one, all connected and all joined.
We are all just asleep and stuck in some sort of dream. All we really are is energy.

What exactly is being celebrated in regards to Pride. Are we celebrating someone's identity or sexual attraction or is someone's identity based on their sexual attraction?

Legit question here.

Hey-soos, that mexican merkin.

I'm gonna put my "don't wanna be that guy" hat on for a moment...

As a Spanish speaker, it bugs me when anglos pronounce the "j" in Spanish as an "h".

The letter "h" is silent in Spanish (unless the letters "c", or "s" precede it), and "j" in Spanish is a back of the throat sound.

Almost like you're hocking a loogie, or trying your best Arabic interpretation of the word "Habib".

Carry on.

There you go - the "ch" in "l'chaaim" is the closest approximation to a "j" in Spanish.

That's the thing I think is the sticking point for some. If it was about tolerance or something similar it's probably not a problem, but asking people to celebrate is different.

Meanwhile the 'j' in Portuguese is pronounced like the 'zh' in 'zhuzh'. Crazy.
