As a child, I attended protestant sunday school where we learned the following "facts": 1. The Jews killed Jesus (Romans? No, they killed Christians with lions, right?) 2. Catholics worship idols This is NOT a foaming-at-the-mouth holy-roller neo-fundamentalist establishment. It is a very conservative, old, upper-middle class congregation made up primarily of "educated" people, who just happen to find it necessary to propagate their bigotry in the guise of religious education. Jerry Foolall may be public about his mythconceptions, but at least it's on television -- so he's got enough rope for his own neck. Perhaps its a good thing that Mr. Remnant Foosball has such a great opportunity to speak his "mind". This way, those among us who have undergone the early poisoning of the subconscious with bigoted "facts" are challenged to either stand with the Fool and all his folly -- or against him. It also encourages those who agree with the guy to do so OPENLY, rather than in hushed-you-don't-want-to-offend-Mrs.-Greenburg- next-door tones behind Mrs. Greenburg's back. With the fools all talking so loud, and saying such stupid things, we all know who they are, don't we? I say let them keep talking. Goad them into advocating clearly un-American activities like curtailing free speech and freedom of religion. Encourage your friends to laugh AT them. Let them ban books, then sell banned books real cheap on the street corner. Their bans are illegal -- unconstitutional in fact. In order to jail you for selling banned books, they would have to overthrow the government. AHA! you see? All of those foosball remnants out there advocate the overthrow of OUR constitutional government! Those pernicious slime-molds! First they infest our churches with their bigotry about our fellow Judeo-Christians. Then they cunningly curry the favor of local and national politicians. Then they think they can get away with taking away my right to freedom of speech and freedom of religion. Who do they think they are, GOD or something? I think that they should confine their lies and sedition to their own church-schools, for their own good. Damn radical pseudo-conservative toadies... Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
