they they set fire to a church ............
IDDLEBROOK, Va. - A small fire and anti-gay graffiti were found Saturday at a church belonging to the United Church of Christ, a denomination that endorsed same-sex marriage last week.
The exterior of St. John's Reformed United Church of Christ also included a message that United Church of Christ members were sinners.
A member of the congregation discovered the graffiti when he stopped by to mow the grass. He found a small fire within the sanctuary. The fire was put out in a few minutes, Lt. Tim McCray said.

I love this quote and it's applicable.

I've been reading....again...a book by Christopher Moore called, "Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Friend" and it is absolutely one of the best books I've read in a long time. I rarely recommend reading because tastes differ greatly and sitting down with a book is a serious investment of time in an era when it seems there's never enough. But this book I recommend highly. It's absolutely hilarious and, when taken in the proper context, gives an appreciation of what life might have been like for Christ. I'm an atheist, but this book has made me re-evaluate my feelings towards Christianity as a whole. It deals with a lot of the problems with modern religion people on this board seem to have, and in a funny way. Pick it up, you won't be disappointed.

Thats just not true they have libraries filled with picture books. The most popular is a picture book on how to safely tow a ford.

That's not towing, that's a ford running up a Chevy's ass to get him to either a) speed up, it's an interstate not a school zone
or
b) push the Cheap Heap to the nearest gas station.
