Whatever you guys are doing to undermine supersticious belief...it's working!

Can we only hope that people are figuring out that the time of demons and spirits is long gone. The days of Christianity are no more, this is the age of science.

Is that a "HAW HAW HAW" I'm hearing in the distance?

Well, of course people who kind-of believed, went to church Easter and Christmas, thought religion was a Good Thing, etc., all started going back to church after 11/9:

and saw, and it was not good. Remembered why they weren't attending, put a finger on it this time. Bye-bye.

Pastors, though, say they're doing a GREAT job:

and think they're worth their increasing price-point:

Strange how people get paid to mentally rape other people.

Which is why I prefer to call that event "the kamikaze hijackings".

I brought up the point months ago that this wall-to-wall christ-bot programming is going to backfire on the churches eventually. They may be over-saturating the market and people are getting tired of all the pocket-picking "Save Jebus" telethons.

Normal people do not go around with their heads up their asses all the time.

Just maybe they are finally getting creeped out by the cheap con-men like Benny Hinn and John Hagee. And turned off by the self-righteous and self-serving grandstanding by grinning bigots like Falwell and Robertson.

We can only hope.

I think Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell's widely documented comments have gotten to a lot of people. Jerry Falwell just called Muhammad a terrorist on top of it. I think they're doing out work for us. Thank you, gentlemen, for making the jackasses out of yourselves that you truly are. Hooray for critical thinking.
