Perhaps, but in my experience, its near impossible to get an ass to shut up.



Awe fuck, you got me, see you in Church on Sunday.

HOLY SHIT THE BIBLE IS TRUE, I've seen a talking Bush who is at the same time an ass.

Pew Research Center Wrote:This survey and previous Pew Forum studies have shown that Jews and atheists/agnostics have high levels of educational attainment on average, which partially explains their performance on the religious knowledge survey. However, even after controlling for levels of education and other key demographic traits (race, age, gender and region), significant differences in religious knowledge persist among adherents of various faith traditions.

Atheists/agnostics, Jews and Mormons still have the highest levels of religious knowledge, followed by evangelical Protestants, then those whose religion is nothing in particular, mainline Protestants and Catholics. Atheists/agnostics and Jews stand out for high levels of knowledge about world religions other than Christianity, though they also score at or above the national average on questions about the Bible and Christianity.

As is often the case, the only thing outstanding about Christians is their hypocrisy.

Yeah, reciting the alphabet.

Quote:given that 6,000,000 jews were killed,

I did say they get a pass given that Hitler was real and "joshua" is fiction.

However....their repeated atrocities in Gaza and the West Bank are not so easily overlooked....and that has fuckall to do with joshua....or Hitler.
