"pile of crap" -- I couldn't agree more! Fortunately for my blood pressure, I haven't been exposed to that site before. Not that I'm surprised at what I see there. In the history of religion over the ages, that sort of thing is the rule rather than the exception (and not limited to christianity of course).

...and then my cousin sends one that's even worse (so bad, in fact, that it is deep in self-parody):

and from my neck of the woods, one of the local newspaper columnists:

"If legislative prayer is now so divisive, why keep doing it?"

and wow...that article (pile of crap) is scary.

Jesus (no pun intended) thats sick. I can't stand bigots and so many of them seem to claim religion as their mast head.

That entire apology is a pile of crap as well, FYI. She's a prejudiced pig and she knows damn well she didn't walk off the floor for "personal reasons." I do agree though that the single most beautiful thing about this entire story is how calm the cleric himself has been - demonstrating through patience the precise opposite of what the state legislator thinks Islam is all about.

P.S. -- The Landover Baptist site is not just into self-parody, it actually is a satire....not too wide of the mark though, is it?
