Harry. religions help to form societies. some for the good and some

How Rushian of you.

"Rushian?"

If you mean R. Limbag, I haven't listened to him in probably two
years.

He inhabits your soul. *He's a good Christian.

Jon, I can just imagine Jesus is looking down and laughing his butt
off at that statement you just made.

LOL!

Hey Tim, when I called the dealer, I'd talked to an underling. The
boss called me back a while ago to tell me they check out the gas
situation at no charge. That's not bad! He also promised to get it
done the day I brought it down.

COOL! It sounded like a real bummer at first. But now that I think
about it, the dealership doesn't have anything to gain by being
abrupt.

especially on a year old brand new boat.

hope all goes well, John.

If it doesn't, maybe Jesus will step in!

Magic!

He regularly takes sides in sports contests, don't you know?

He was at Bush's side when Bush was deciding (he was the decider, you
know) to invade Iraq and put our military in harm's way.

It was Jesus vs. Mohammed.

Ah yes - those were the days when flame wars were exercises in

Lots of the same old, same old in here. Very repetitions.

That's what the Muslims saw. The crusades.

What I saw was a deluded idiot shadow boxing against an opponent for

Simple Jesus believing man who thought God had chosen him to be
President. Didn't realize it was the supreme court.
