Quote:Scuffles have broken out between rival groups of Greek Orthodox and Armenian clerics in a turf war at Bethlehem's Church of the Nativity.
Bemused tourists looked on as about 100 priests fought with brooms while cleaning the church in preparation for Orthodox Christmas, on 7 January.
Palestinian police armed with batons and shields broke up the clashes.
For best results, try imagining the embedded video to the tune of "Silent Night".
Oops, it appears Min beat me to the punch. Sorry about that folks.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Fucking police come in swinging their fucking battons. I may dislike the childish preists, but I dislike the police even more so.
Fuck 'em...tie the whole lot of them up in one big garbage bag and toss them away. Humanity would be much better off.

I find it somewhat amusing that the priests were laying into each other with broomsticks, like some kind of Harry Potter military re-enactment.

Denis Diderot, no? How about Émile Zola: "Civilization will not attain to its perfection until the last stone from the last church falls on the last priest!" Same sentiment but with added irony.
