Wow, this is straight out of the “Jews use the blood of Christian babies to bake their bread” book. ---

Why don’t Baptists go to orgies? There might be _dancing_. ---

Too bad those Muslims aren’t talking to Walter Sobchak. I have it on good authority that he can get me a human toe. There are ways, Dude. You don’t want to know about it. He could get me a human toe by 3pm this afternoon, with nail polish. I can only assume he could get his hands on some Christian blood, no questions asked… and probably for a lot cheaper than $100,000. Fuckin’ amateurs. ---

Cut it with some stage blood and you could probably get 50 vials out of each pint. Whoa! Whoa! Whoa there, cowboy. If I’m making $100,000 a point there’s no way in hell I’m going to cheat my customers by cutting it with fake blood. I’ve got principles. ---

The order was founded at different times by Charlemagne, Julius Caesar, Cyrus, Solomon, Zoroaster, Confucious, Thothmes, and Buddha. Its emblems and symbols have been found in the Catacombs of Paris and Rome, on the stones of the Parthenon and the Chinese Great Wall, among the temples of Karnak and Palmyra and in the Egyptian Pyramids — always by a Freemason. – Ambrose Bierce ---

Wait, are you perhaps suggesting that a website which ran a [“news item”](http://www.wnd.com/2013/10/christianity-ufos-islam-and-americas-future/) promoting a conference featuring “Tom Horn, the author of ‘Petrus Romanus: The Final Pope is Here,’ [who] will discuss ‘The Vatican, Pope and UFOs – How Are They Linked?’ [and] Joel Richardson, an expert on Islam and author of ‘The Islamic Antichrist,’ ‘Islam and the End Times,’ and ‘The Mideast Beast,’ [who] will address ‘The Impact of Islam.’” might have some credibility issues? ---

For some reason I keep seeing the thread title and thinking “Lee Corso”. At the end of his rant, he puts a big foam rubber head of Osama bin Laden on his head. ---

> [@Slithy\_Tove](#): > > . > > Don’t you need to have a really limber back to be autocephalous? I shouldn’t think so. Auto- = self, cephalos = head, so autocephalous must perforce mean “has [their] own head”. Which describes everyone, but I still should print that on my business cards. Probably can milk a 10% mark-up for being the only avowedly autocephalous specialist on the market. ---

My contribution: An Episcopalian is a Presbyterian with a trust fund. A Presbyterian is a Methodist with a college education. A Methodist is a Baptist with shoes. And a Baptist is a Pentecostal whose snake died. ---
