You liked arguing with her, didn't you? I did too, until she got abusive. I never met a more hard-headed person in my life. Since she's no longer here can we talk a lotta trash about her?

Guilty as charged.

Like most overly religious people she was "Jesus this" and "Jesus That" until she got pissed off and then she wanted to burn someone at the stake (usually me or you) and to Hell with Jesus!

Her head would have exploded if you said that to her. That'd be cool to watch.

Now fellas. You know with that kind of talk we'll all end up in hell. And if that is the case, does that mean that heaven contains only ignorant people? So far the only people I've met worth having a truly interesting dicusssion with fall into the kind J M would not dream of associating with and are all going to end up burning.

I think Hell started all that fire and brimstone crap just to keep the fundamentalists out. Who wants them mucking things up?

It's probably a very nice place.

As I've told some of my fundamentalist acquintances, if heaven is full of people like you, I don't think I want to go there. Boring.

Good morning, Archaeology fans, and isn't it a fine day in America where the Bible Beaters have suffered another humiliating defeat in court.

I'm sure J/M and the rest will be screeching like scorched cats by later in the day.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) - "Intelligent design" cannot be mentioned in biology classes in a Pennsylvania public school district, a federal judge said Tuesday, ruling in one of the biggest courtroom clashes on evolution since the 1925 Scopes trial.

Dover Area School Board members violated the Constitution when they ordered that its biology curriculum must include the notion that life on Earth was produced by an unidentified intelligent cause, U.S. District Judge John E. Jones III said. Several members repeatedly lied to cover their motives even while professing religious beliefs, he said.

The school board policy, adopted in October 2004, was believed to have been the first of its kind in the nation.

"The citizens of the Dover area were poorly served by the members of the Board who voted for the ID Policy," Jones wrote.

Mini, please, please, PLEASE tell me that the Landover site is some kind of bad joke. I went and read a couple of articles and now desperatley to spend some time with my head in the loo. Nobody could be that small-minded and mean-spirited and call themselves "Christians." Talk about scum of the earth.

Yeah....it's a parody, Leona.

Scary that you had trouble telling the difference, though.

"Scary that you had trouble telling the difference, though."

It's even scarier that I live in a part of the south where some people (more than I care to believe) actually think like that. I was raised as a Roman Catholic (no longer) but had a Jewish uncle. Our families celebrated all holiday both Christian and Jewish. It is amazing the misconceptions that people have about both of these faiths. At first I tried to explain but now just throw my hands up and walk away. So when I read some of that dribble; yes, it scared the h*ll out of me to think that maybe somewhere there might actually be a whole church full.

I'm probably as anti-religion as you can get, but try to be tolerant and respectful of those who don't think my way. Just because I'm surrounded by people who come out of the hills just once a month to shop at WalMart

, I still have to live here.

I know exactly what you mean. I have to keep my mouth shut a lot of times just to keep the peace. I'm anti-religion too. Was raised a Baptist. My dad is a deacon. I couldn't understand the stink everybody raised about gay marriages. I don't care what the gays do as long as they don't bother me. I don't see where it hurts anyone for two fags to get married, but I didn't dare say that in the wrong company. I too try to be tolerant and respect people's right to worship as they please.

Perhaps you could e-mail Landover Baptist and tell them that their parody is getting too close to reality and they need to step it up a bit?
