The less of them, the merrier.
If that sounds heartless, go talk to some of these ultra-religious Southern Republicans. I'll show you some heartless!

I suppose he'd be willing to give God and Jesus equal time, but I'm sure he'd use the quote from Tom Lehrer's song: "That's not my department, says Wernher von Braun."

(7,504 posts)That deal in Minnesota where three priests serve two churches and all three have it and have met with many people. Then the back story on the Holy Ghost Catholic church in Texas. The priest dying and five housemates are positive plus some of the congregation. I think I may do some research on some of those cases. As a recovering Evangelical I kinda enjoy drawing from things I've witnessed.
