Nicole: Okay, let's just get this out of the way IMMEDIATELY: obviously this is the greatest movie ever made. Mallory: I think at ten different points throughout the movie one or both of us leaned over to the other and said "This is the best movie I have ever seen."
Welcome back to Gabbin’ About God, in which Mallory uses her religious background to explain Christian-y things to Nicole. Most recently: Predestination. Mallory, can we talk about the false doctrine of transubstantiation, and the evolution of the concept? I've always thought it was weird that Jesus used metaphors CON-STANT-LY and this is the thing people decided was NOT a metaphor but a Real Exact Thing. And is consubstantiation just "yeah, you know, we're…
Nicole: I think it's very significant that you and I have discussed writing this piece since Winter 2013, and only now is it being put into Wordpress.

Previous installments of The Toast’s advice column from two disparate and imperfect persons can be found here. Last time: Advice on Yappy Coworkers and Being Poorer Than You Want. I'm currently in the middle of a complicated, messed-up situation in which everyone has hurt at least one other person very badly. As a result, there's been a lot of talk of "rebuilding trust."

It's been a whole year since we launched this misandrist humo(u)r blog aimed chiefly at women who work as rare book librarians, and here we are! Let's talk about learning, and growing, and how our second year will see us finally convince Brittney Griner to be Mallory's girlfriend. Mallory: It is remarkable to think that a year has passed!
