I do hope there are some beloved C’tian Praying Grannies or something who love them & they love & whom they’d rather die than have them see what they’ve written about their Lord and Savior.

Heh heh heh. It’ll serve you two right.

Serve you right to have C’tian Loved Ones who are praying for you, not to have them see your attacks on JC & the Faith.

Great rant! You really blistered them there by golly. I’d hate to be in their shoes!

Wouldn’t this serve us all right, at least IYO?

I give this Pitting a 1. Not at all zesty, but appropriately coded. No, I’m downgrading it to a .5 because the excessive use of “&” is bugging me.

**C’tian Praying Grannies**  
Band name!

They do a dynamite version of “Get Back”, although the accordion solo is a turnoff for some. 🆒

Um, aren’t \*\*you \*\*supposed to be the one praying for them, rather than cackling with cyber-glee over their hypothetical discomfort?

I thought there was something in that Book of yours about loving thy enemy and praying for them. Wasn’t there also something about motes and beams?

Somewhere in another dimension Jesus is rolling his eyes and thinking to himself,

“'_This_ guy is fighting _my_ corner? Fuck this, I’m gonna go play Nintendo with Ganesha. He’s only having one controller, though.”

**Friar Ted** is a cherry picker. Or a gleaner. Or a bad husband of his talents. Or something.

**Der Trihs** , on another thread I believe you mentioned something about how some bad experiences have soured you on religion. It didn’t seem appropriate to ask you about them there. But since this thread is nearly content-free, perhaps this is a good forum for you to spin a good tale of woe.

So wha’ happen?

Think **FriarTed** ’s been at the Benedictine.

I personally hope that someone’s slaughtering a goat to Baal on my behalf. Praying’s _so_ last millennium.

In all fairness, **Ted** , Jesus of Nazareth kind of indicated the likelihood of his followers having to choose between loyalty to family or to following him, and it seems only fair to extent the same assumed commitment to truth before family ties to the atheists, don’t you think?
