Jake LaTurner and Chase Neill (inset). Images via YouTube and Shawnee County Kansas jail. THERE’S a lot to dislike about LaTurner.

Bishop John Keenan, Bishop of Paisley. Image via YouTube. LAST October the Scottish government—presently involved in a bitter anti-democratic row with the UK parliament over its Gender Recognition Reform Bill—vowed to introduce “comprehensive” legislation to ban conversion therapies.

Behold, another inappropriate Christian sign—and probably the costliest ever!
Image via He Gets Us HOP across to Buzzfeed’s “50 Hilarious Church Signs That’ll Keep You Sinfully Laughing For Hours” and you’ll see a lot of rib-ticklers.
