I don't know what you people are saying.
I love the WB Baptist Church. They're everything I could have asked for if I asked the following question to a powerful Djinn:
"Jeanie, I wish you could make a church so up its own ass in its own belief that they make all religions, especially Chrisitan religions, look absolutely ridiculous. I would like them to be so ridiculous that the people fighting against them regardless of their own various stupidities can still restore my faith in humanity."
What I am saying is that I would like to have sex with 1960s Jeanie of "I Dream of Jeanie" or a suitable Chinese replacement.

If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools and next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church. At the next session you may ban books and the newspapers...
Ignorance and fanaticism are ever busy and need feeding. Always feeding and gloating for more. Today it is the public school teachers; tomorrow the private. The next day the preachers and the lecturers, the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After a while, Your Honor, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth centry when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind. ~Clarence Darrow, at the Scopes Monkey Trial, 1925
Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. ~Ronald Reagan
