...and the poor child who has been denied the word of a superior being? What a sanctimonious little act that would be!

Sounds like something a superior jerk would do. There are many other instances of smug self-righteousness and outright lies that the so-called "School Chaplain" (a FALSE TITLE) wrote.

Some things deserve to be mocked & dismissed. I'm beyond caring if you think it's rude. After 12 years of catholic schools, going to mass 6 times a week, etc. etc., I've earned the right to say what I want about religion and those who push it.

And for the life-long non-religionists... well, laughing at the whole spectacle is like chuckling at a clown act. The fact that the clowns take it and themselves so seriously makes it all even more hilarious.
