Feel the Love
On weekends I get a chance to visit lots more places on the web than during the week. One of my regular stops is Huffington Post - mostly because of the "Weekly World News" -like quality of the headlines in the news area. No matter what the linked news item says, you can count on the folks at HuffPo to put a bizarre spin on it.
Today, though, I notice the church-burning story I referenced yesterday being mentioned on their home page, and thought I'd see what the comments were like. Here's a sample:
"Since most members of the clergy are fraudulent parasites, it's quite possible that this is just some sort of insurance scam." - Posted by: MoeLarryAndJesus on February 03, 2006 at 04:45pm
"Too bad it wasn't Pat Robertson's church with him in it." - Posted by: razorboy666 on February 03, 2006 at 04:47pm
IF THERE is a place to send money to those who are performing this public service, please post it.
THESE UBIQUITOUS churches are tax-exempt freeloading social clubs for the dimwitted, as common as kudzoo, and even less attractive.
"I ADMIT harboring thoughts of destruction whenever i see one of those stereotypical "victory" southern baptist churches, with the crosses for abortuses lining the hillsides, the proselytizing billboards, and the 50 foot illuminated mega-cross just off the interstate... pass the gasoline and the torch!" - Posted by: spinoza on February 03, 2006 at 04:51pm
