Baptists recall a time ......

Few Americans realise the tremendous boost Baptists gave to Freedom of
Religion in this country.

Back before the Revolution young Tom Jefferson, Jimmy Madison and Bubba
Monroe and other local gentlemen were out wenching when they came upon a mob
beating the crap out of some Baptists they hd caught preaching their foul
doctrine to the poor and undereducated. These misguided souls, though
doubtless deserving a good trouncing, had already been beaten so badly that
the gentlemen were at once repulsed and filled with pity. Returning to their
favorite Tavern they discussed it and vowed to introduce bills to permit all
religion, no matter how foolish, before the next session of the legislature.
So were it not for the sacrifices of these early Baptists, and other kooks,
we'd be unable to enjoy Jerry Falwell or Pat Robertson today, let alone Rev.
Moon or the Scientologists.
