    Is this a joke about child abuse or controlling women? Sorry, I don’t get it

      A “land of milk and honey” is a place of opportunity where one hopes to find a better life. I first heard the term in the song Nancy from Now On by Father John Misty. After looking it up because of this post, at some point in the Bible Israel is described as a land flowing with milk and honey multiple times.

      LAN is short for local area network and only one letter away from land, so a church naming their wifi “Lan of Milk and Honey” crosses the similar sounding technical term related to the wifi with a biblical term related to the church, thereby achieving a pun. I hope that helps you get it!

        I’m fully aware of both. My awareness is what prompted the question, in fact.

          Then your question was a lame (and ignorant) attack on religion.

          You want child abuse? Look to schools. The stats don’t lie.

            The Archdiocese of Boston is filing for bankruptcy in the face of massive sexual abuse cases being brought by victims. Take your invisible friends and your ignorance elsewhere.

              Yawn

              You clearly have an axe to grind - again, go look at schools, which are a sexual abuse problem magnitudes greater than all churches, combined.

              And save your personal insults, your sophistry. They just expose your intentions for what they are.

                So that archdiocese isn’t declaring bankruptcy in the face of victim’s coming forward?

                You have an invisible friend. Historically the rational people eventually have to mop you guys up anyway…lol
