You claim to be hip and cool and don’t know of the evangelical stylings of _the_ Robert ‘I begin to speak in tongues’ Tilton?

When did _I_ claim to be hip and cool? Let me assure you, I am unhip and a total nerd.

When I said that Christians “ought to be the most pissed,” I didn’t mean it any sense that I thought Christians had an _obligation_ to be pissed, I just meant I thought they had more CALL to be pissed. I don’t see the sign as Christians insulting non-Christians so much as cynical hustlers trying to PREY on Christians.
