That's like giving a junkie a job at a pharmacy. Smart.

Is there any way you could post these every hour at the top of the hour? Because that would be totally compelling and make for a much more entertaining and though-provoking blog. kthx!

"Jesus loves me this I know, but the pastor loves me more. Pastor touches me all day, tells me never ever tell. Yes, Jesus loves me, yes Jesus loves me, yes Jesus loves me but Pastor loves me more"

Sing to tune of "Jesus Loves Me"

As Fundamentalists they were just interpreting the Bible literally: Isaiah 11:6, "The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them."

When I was a Good Christian, I was about *this* close to going to Southern Nazarene University. And having grown up Nazarene in North Central Texas, I have a vague but definitely-not-imagined memory of a Wonderly family's being involved in regional denominational events. Hay, y'all!

what vince said. even the intelligent ones have to put their brains on a shelf while referencing their religion, then they can pick it up, put it back in their head and talk to you about freud, politics, gardening, history, etc. like a reasonable person. i have a catholic nun for an aunt-in-law (never "done it", totally indoctrinated) and she is quite capable of holding her own in a conversation, but when she gets to talking the "cant," it's all smarmy platitudes and unctuous drivel that has nothing to do with reality.

Burgin99, as ever, is there any way you could just shut your fucking mouth, and pass these by if you don't like them. Funny how you're always at the top of the list too. Makes one wonder if maybe you don't kinda, you know, "get something" out of these.
