One scruffy old half naked biker works better than 3 rabid pittbulls on acid......

If they bring women.....

Stab them in the eye.

Tell them you're an apostate and you'll never see them again.

I am glad, that most theist, regardless of religion, whom live in the west, are half ass'd about their interpretations. Christian, Muslim or Jew, if one were to do what those holy books say word for word, one would make America's Most Wanted look like a summer camp with S'mores and Barney the Dinosaur singing songs.

Just think what they’ll be able to get away with if a religious exclusion law is passed allowing them to act on their “conscience”.

After all, if their little books of myth are open to interpretation, what about secular laws?

"Secular" to conservatives means "Commie"  "dictator" bullshit. China and Russia and even North Korea are very full of religion and superstition.

At least in America, all the assholes who like to bring up the founders, do not know, or accept how much they railed against pulpit politics.

The JW's use to bother me then I put up a inverted  pentagram on my door . Never bothered me again .

You know if you open the door, see it's them, say "go away," and close the door, it takes about 10 seconds. 

You don't have to start a thread about it -- your tenth or twelfth one this month about how bad religion is. You don't have to devote the rest of the day to focussing on what a bad experience it was. 

Do you realize how much time you put into not liking religion? It comes across as neurotic.

Yea religion never caused harm, like 9-11, the Holocaust, or the KKK.
