When I was a kid, the Baptists weren't allowed to come to school dances.

That was another big no no at the time.

I remember we did the musical Guys and Dolls in High School. Took a lot of re-writing (butchering) to get it to an acceptable level so some of the kids from the Baptists churches could perform. I mean, c'mon. In the end they are all saved by GAWD. What the fuck more do they want.

in fact, they get worked up about very little at all, unless the coffee machine at the church break. Then there is going to be hell to pay.

that must be why "progressive" Democrats fall over themselves queueing up to say what a wonderful inspiration Blank Frank is every time he opens his mouth.

5. The risen Christ in BODY not spirit is THE POINT of the religion.

I hope not! Because that is 100% pure fiction....

At least pick something that might be remotely plausible.... if you can find it, that is.


What happened to all that helping "the least of these", and the meek and stuff. I thought that was the whole point.

10. The best part is there's not one iota of evidence for the trinity in the canonical gospels

The reason why the fundies can't let go of their King James version because most modern translations omit the Comma Johanneum, which was a reference to the trinity that didn't appear until centuries after the first gospels were written down, probably inserted by a monk who felt the bible needed direct evidence of the trinity to hold off challenges to the official church doctrine. Even the RCC admits it's bullshit.

So it turns out, Jesus really isn't lord.
