Interestingly enough, people do these sick things.

What is more interesting is that you are dedicating your life to discover these things so you can laugh and mock Christianity. Do you have a goal with this? Or is this just what you do in your parent's basement since you have a tough time getting dates?

You nailed me! Man, you're good.

Not mocking Christianity, though. My parents, in whose basement I live (where I fail to get dates), are/were Christians. (One of my parents is deceased.)

Just think the endless parade of rapist youth pastors is, given those assertions, highly ironic.

Gotta go -- I hear my mother calling me.
