all I can think
of today is what I saw in yesterday's
news, about the former paratrooper turned preacher at an Independent Fundamental Baptist church just outside Ft. Bragg, N.C., that told his congregation they should break their sons» wrists if they catch them doing the «limp wrist», or give him a good punch... and all the kids that have committed suicide because other kids have picked up on messages like this and bullied them till they couldn't stand it anymore... we are the only bible some folks will ever read, and if they get this kind
of message, well, who'd want to be with a group
of people where you are grudgingly tolerated, if not outright hated, and all this in Jesus» name... it also says that the churches will do just about anything to keep people obedient and unquestioning, so they will continue to give, and so the
big donors will continue to give, so that the doors at Monster Megachurch can be kept open, and the lights on... David, this is one
of your «less is more» toons here... a minimum
of elements that says so much....
