Damned Christians

[Sheldon]

Remember this when you're losing a crusade.

I'll remember it when pagans adopt the traditions of their elders and bow their knees to the Cross.

I am not a pagan of course, as I find all unevidneced supersitions equally dubious, but this rather crass hubris, made me think of a quote from the late Christopher Hitchens:

“Many religions now come before us with ingratiating smirks and outspread hands, like an unctuous merchant in a bazaar. They offer consolation and solidarity and uplift, competing as they do in a marketplace. But we have a right to remember how barbarically they behaved when they were strong and were making an offer that people could not refuse.”

So if anyone thinks I can be cajoled intimidated or threatened into changing my mind, then another quote from the film "Cool Hand Luke" springs to mind:

"Oh they broke me alright, you couldn't fool them, not about that; but they never got my mind right, no sir, not with no stick."
