But they don't always do that, do they? Also, what charity they provide is 
offered up with ulterior motives which, when followed to their logical 
conclusions, would amount to nothing less than a form of cultural genocide.

Yeah, that Catholic Church... it's all good! Nothing wrong there, eh?

What do "those guys on the tube" have to do with anything?

Nobody is worthy of Sainthood.  That's the whole point of this thread, I think.

DUMB ALL OVER - FZ

You can't run a country on a book of religion
Not by a heap or a lump or a smidgen
Some foolish rules
Of ancient date
Designed to make you all feel great
While you fold, spindle and mutilate
Those unbelievers from a neighboring state

Sacred cows make the tastiest burgers

Cheers,
Jerky
