Harry, you acted like she was living in a cardboard box in an ally.

Conservative Christians just slay me.

GOOD! We keep you on your toes and give you something to talk about that way.

Earlier today I saw a bit about a fundie preacher in Texas, I think, who used church funds to build a $10 million house. Tithes?

Yeah, and look at how much Madelyn Murray was holding when she was murdered. I think it was about what... 3 mil?

I had no idea Mrs. O'Hair demanded that her followers tithe, as many

christian ministers do, or that she engaged in peddling superstitious

bull****, as christian ministers do.

She didn't have to. she wallowed in it.

Oh, really? She was an atheist. There isn't a shred of proof for the
existence of "god" or that your savior was anything more than just an
itinerant rabbi. If you believe more than that, you're just believing in
superstitions no different than if perhaps a bit more advanced than the
ancient Egyptian belief in Ra.

After all, the earth is only 6,000 or 9,000 years old, and man and
dinosaurs roamed the earth together, just like in the Flintstones.

Well, of course...why would you be interested in his remarks...after
all, you're not a papist. Funny stuff.

Oh, I did want to say that "Papist" is a derogatory term, but I am sure
you knew that. Right? Whether they are Catholics or not, hundreds of
millions of people around the world are interested in what the Pope says
or writes. He's got lots of your fellow protestants up in arms with his
dismissal of prosperity theology, among other things. :)

Hey John. What does your meter say about this rant?

Harry still thinks the Pope was referring to those folks in the US who are getting welfare, but live
in an apartment, eat regularly, have a TV , cell phone, etc.

He needs to read something like this:

or, look at something like this:

Then maybe he'll understand what the Pope meant by 'the poor'.

You don't have to go nearly that far. Unless you have seen Hati, the
Dominican Republic or the slums of Mexico, you really don't know what
poverty is all about.

An excellent suggestion. I eagerly await Harry's report on how they
are all getting along.

And why should I be interested? And seeing you're not a religious person, why should you?

You're right. I'm not a Papist...

I know. she wallowed in the notion of being anti-church, anti-God, anti- religion (especially Christianity. Pretty much like yourself.

I think Jeff Foxworthy had a good comment.

"[Country music doesn’t have to be politically correct.] We sing about God because we believe in Him. We’re not trying to offend anybody, but the evidence that we have seen of Him in our small little lives trumps your opinion about whether or not He exists..."

"You can call us rednecks if you want, we’re not offended, ‘cause we know what we are all about. We get up and go to work, we get up and go to church and we get up and go to war when necessary."
