It wasn't an apple. It was a kumquat.

You're the son of a preacher man, Tommy? Well, THAT explains a few things...

Some authorities claim that the Lord Jesus Himself drank wine, too. Actually, the Holy Bible says so, and only the ingenious Scripture Deniers find a way to pretend it is not true. They claim that it was unfermented grape juice at the Last Supper, in the Seder, and whatnot, and a linguistic mix-up just makes it seem otherwise.

Pastor Pyle must have chosen a pulpit in Panama City because of the challenge of overcoming the wet tee-shirt contests, beach dancing, and buttock-revealing swimsuits during Spring Break. He must REALLY hate those things to deliberately locate himself in P.C., right?

He used to be at another Baptist church in Pensacola across the street from where I work now. And the offices of Beka Books (publishers of this brilliant volume) are half a mile away. I think I'll go for a walk at lunchtime and do some sidewalk dancing in front of one or the other.

From which comes the fundamentalist idea of a woman's role during sex. Only one word need change.

<i>"The body’s response to this type of physical stimulus is normal — but not <b>designed</b> to occur outside the marriage relationship."</i>

I must have a manufacturing defect because my body does not behave as designed.

The Christian deity is certainly obsessed with sex for someone who never apparently engaged in it. And He created humans to be naked and then after Adam and Eve ate the apple of knowledge of good and evil banished them from the garden and placed curses on billions of people! Even though He created them in 'his image'.

Zeus and the other Greek gods are more comfortable with sex.

"Pyle's proclamations against nonmarital fucking"

I thought this was about *dancing* - what about dancing for married people? Shouldn't that be a good thing? Especially if it leads to more little Christian babies? Isn't that the basis for the Mormon's pyramid scheme?

In Anson, Texas (which is little ol spot in the road near Abilene) it is illegal to dance at the high school prom, which caused the locals to advise the young heathens that there will be "No Dancin in Anson." You may only dance in Anson during the Annual Christmas Ball. <a href="http://www.barryshlachter.n..." target="_blank">" rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://www.barryshlachter.net/no-dancin-in-anson....">http://www.barryshlachter.n...

This may be tangential to the subject but I lost my virginity to a minister's daughter who was an honors student at Abilene Christian College. She was an adventurous woman in the bedroom.
