Lessee here - your idea of heaven is a place where force 8 T-storms blow through
without warning, it's 110 degrees one day and brass monkeys the next, and you
need replacement feet every night? Yet another religion I'll pass up.

A man who carries a cat by the tail learns something that can
be learned no other way.

The best one I've ever heard about was the "Sacred Church Of Larry's Bar And
Grill" down in the Los Angeles area.

Larry's Bar and Grill had topless waitresses. Some of them began to have less
clothes than that. The California ABC moved to shut down the place.

They closed for two weeks. They reopened as the "Sacred Church..." with all the
appropriate paperwork and such. Now the "vestal virgins" can wear anything or
nothing, as they see fit. The holy sacrament of beer is free. However, you had
damned well better "tithe" for your beer or the "holy monks" will take you
outside and cleanse you of your bad habits.

And, the whole damn thing is tax deductible.

Personally, I feel that we work too damned hard for our money to donate it
to organized criminals.

Are you referring to congresscritters, or preachers?

I like that.

Well you got THAT right Brian. Frankly god seems more than a bit
wierd and actually quite sadistic, given the death and despair
he/she/it tolerates in the world. Kills off the innocent, empowers
dictators, ethnic cleansing... yup, mysterious all right. And people
want to be near this being?
