She hit it right on the head.

Some people just don't get it.


That pastor probably moved to Central Florida from North Florida.

I don't have the slightest problem with folks celebrating their religious
holidays publicly, so long as public funds are not involved, or if proper
compensation is paid if the public's facilities are used.

That said, I find it odious for live people to pretend they are Jesus on a
cross, being paraded through the streets. I'm not a big fan of idolatry.

I like fun religious festivals. When I was a kid the biggest summer
festival was always the Feast of the Assumption, which the Catholics
celebrated with a huge carnival in New Haven. Great eats, great fun, and
many spectacular looking Italian gals with beautiful dark hair and
Mediterranean skintones. Everything was yummy. Down here, we hit some of
the Greek festivals. Same reasons.


From Firesign Theatre's Powerhouse Church of the Presumptuous Assumption of
the Blinding Light, a hymn:


"Oh Blinding Light,
Oh Light that blinds,
I cannot see.
Look out for me."

Never mind.
