How very peculiar that someone who instructs and mentors people would suggest that worship could even be limited to a particular time or place... as if it's only an adjective describing a scheduled meeting.

Non-lion-eaten people?

Santorum? Stupid? I'm sure the <i>LA Times</i> didn't mean it that way.

I'm with you. We should enshrine that in the sacred Book of Wonkette. Anyone who speaks contrary to your teaching is a blasphemer who will face the Wrath of Kahn.

I feels ya. I had a rough day, too. I worked with a sweet, albeit ignorant, evangelical stewardess yesterday. She was wishing everyone she met a "Happy Easter!", bless her heart, including all the Jews, Muslims, pagans, and assorted atheists and agnostics departing LAX; so I gently planted the thought in her head that some of the non-reciprocal passengers might <i>not</i> observe the Easter Holiday.

Long story short, this caused her to engage with your buddy Roscoe, which was a big mistake.....for ME. (Put it this way, if you argue with a wall, who's the bigger fool, you, or the wall?)

Somehow, it all ended with the discussion turning to science (go figure) and her refusal to accept that the speed of light can possibly be measured, and therefore known. I gave up and spent the rest of the day feeling sorry that I had been so dickish and iconoclastic. It wasn't nice of me, and now I'm all guilt-ridden about it.

Now what were we talking about? Oh yeah, Freedumb of Religion!

Things said by their side?

Actually no, you have a good point, because even then, they engage in ridiculous parsing in their desperate attempts to explain how they're not racist misogynist homophobic cunts, but we are for saying they are.

When they get to heaven, Jeebus will make them follow his teachings. And they'll think they're in hell.
