It's all of the hokus-pokus, commanding quazipolitical tones and "pious baloney" that turns intelligent people off.

It seems to me like that was the point of Christ's existence - to become one of us.

I wonder if there would not be a few more "money changers" thrown out if He was to come back. All the pomp and fancy robes do not really sit well with my methodist upbringing.

Yeah, I wasn't all that thrilled with the Chrystal Cathedral, much less, Jim and Tammy's gold faucets.

I'm sure God told them they needed those...

I think the Republicans and their wall street buddies would be in a lot pf hurt if Jesus came back and started dealing with the money changers again...

Yeah, 'humanizing' Jesus cracks me up to no end

The wealth is a sign that God likes them, and has "blessed" them........

Or maybe they're just charlatans collecting loot from elderly widows and gullible zealots?

I tend to think it's the latter.

This little female Lab / Brittany mix has my heart in her paw. I think about outliving her sometimes, and I'm not sure I'll want to. She is the most loyal hound I've ever had. Wherever I am, she is right there, even when I play loud music in my shop. I spoil the shit out of her too. She gets fresh red beef every night for dinner. Tonight she had oxtail and flank steaks. She sure makes it hard to get out of bed in the morning too. She starts out the night up by my arms, so I can rub her belly, but by morning, she's snuggled in tight to my feet and legs. She looks pitiful when I have to leave for work, and won't eat or drink anything until I get back home. I wonder why she does that?

She's saving room for the good stuff.

Our dog is the same way. She won't eat nothing until she sees what she can score off of us. Besides that, she follows me around beating me with a squeaky toy, just to remind me that she hasn't had her cut.
