There is more to the story. Something like this...<br /><br /><br />Connecticut was settled in the 1600s by people who were disaffected by the religious purity of the Massachusetts colony. Eventually they made \"Presbyterians only\" or somesuch part of their charter and constitution. Around the time of the Revolution and our God-given First Amendment, they said \"Non-Prebyterians are ok, but no Catholics or Jews\". For some reason, Mooslems weren't mentioned -- I guess they were OK with Sharia Law back then.

Well, I'm a white male (though a filthy Irish Papist by birth), but of the homosexualist variety, so I think I'll stay in 2013 with its prodigious amounts of gay porn and go-go boys, thank you. I just wouldn't be cut out for the British Navy; I get seasick and don't like rum.

Pessimist.

You don't think Joe's Lord and Saviour would've protected him? It seems pretty clear that the righteous people throughout good ol' Amercian history have been preserved, and that misfortune only falls upon those who aren't slavishly obeying G_d with sufficient fervor.
