I feel bad for Ruby Rose, she was so emotional when she got the role of Batwoman, she gets a pretty bad back injury, and then exits the role... yet I still see people shitting on her, those are the type of people that deserve bad karma. pic.twitter.com/s9evtNd6S7

The cardinal difference between the moralizing religions and Jesus' offer to us -- Jesus does not offer to make bad people good but to make dead people alive.
