What I’m upset about is that it leaves us pagans out. It’s the fallacy of the excluded middle–atheists and Christians. Mrs. Six and I regularly attempt to undermine the moral fabric of America with our evil pagan rituals\*, but do we get a mention? It’s unfair, I tell you. \*sometimes called a tea ceremony. ---

Tea ceremony? **Kaitlyn** , dear, it’s called an _orgy_. That’s how pagans celebrate. ---

I thought it was called a “lingerie pillow fight.” ---

**M** , maybe you could get a spray can and amend it to read: _Anti-God is Anti-American. Anti-American is Treason. Traitors Lead to Civil War. I’m dead_ > [@Balle\_M](#): > > Cool! That’s about a block from my house. > [@DanBlather](#): > > The owner of the billboard just died. ---

Upon viewing my last post, I see that I have juxtaposed two quotes in such a way that it might look like **Balle\_M** is rejoicing the death of the billboard owner. This is _not_ the case, it was not my intention, and I apologize if anyone got the wrong impression. I personally know **Balle\_M** , and I know that he would never have such a sentiment. ---

I think the deceased billboard owner that **Dorkness** and **DanBlather** were talking about is the one over by Evergreen College in the Pacific Northwest. No idea about the actuarial status of the frothing turd responsible for the “billboard of intolerance” in the OP. ---

> [@Anaamika](#): > > **Kaitlyn** , dear, it’s called an _orgy_. That’s how pagans celebrate. Well, unless we’re too tired. Then we just put on some incense and sit there for a little while. When we’re not tired, though… ooh, boy. ---
