I do appreciate the humor, you are just having fun here I
assume, but I don't want to be considered by others that may
not get the humor, as some kind of moral majority spokesman.
I don't believe in Purgatory or eternal fire, except in the
great works of Dante and other poets, I don't believe that
coprophagy is sinful. I doubt anyone needs to here my
opinion on pederasty in the ancient world, or my opinions
about it in the modern world either. 


I think the beetles broke up after Abbey something.
