Cool Preacher Beaten for Honest Eulogy
FROM ONE OF THE THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES AKA THE GULF COAST -- This one is a real hoot. Apparently the preacher told the assembled throng that the dearly departed was a drunkard and a fornicator, and also that everybody in the throng was going to hell too. So somebody in the audience got up and slugged him. I wish I was big enough and mean enough to do that at some funerals I've been to!!
Those hateful commercials for Xtianity really piss me off.

At least the preacher's honest.

It always bothers me that preachers will tell the living that they are going to hell, but refuse be honest with a deceased person's widow or relative.

Good to see some follow-through, even if his honesty got him beaten up. Imagine if more preachers were honest...

Then they wouldn't be preachers . . . especially after getting the shit beat out of them a couple of times.

Well don't worry about ol' Jerry - he could just get his buddy Pat to administer some faith healing and he'd be as good as new!

I don't think so. A body cast implies broken bones, and I don't believe Falwell has any.

Slugs, even enormous slugs, don't have skeletal structures.
