Dear Pastor,
Superman came to us from another planet and is beloved my more people, has better superpowers, has more interesting adventures, and better clothing. Aside from being better, I'm not so delusional as to believe he is anything other than fictional. I wish that you could at least acknokwledge the same. I'll send you a prayer to the allmighty superman that ye not come to harm from the vile Braniac, as his machinations causes great evil in the world.
Good Bye and Have a Wonderful Day.
PS: Honestly though, I'm thinking of converting to Batmanism.
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
