    Source: http://www.gainesville.com/article/20090708/ARTICLES/907081008[^] ooh newsbotting! Not really. This is olds (like news, but old). But the quotes are simply epic. Now look at this:

    It is about pointing the people in the right direction, and that right direction is Jesus and only Jesus. We feel the sign is an act of giving the people a chance.

    Nice trick, simply stating something nearly makes it true, but not really. But it gets better.

    It is a violent and oppressive religion and does not have anything to do with the truth of the Bible bible

    Although it may be a violent and oppressive religion (is it? who is the judge of that?) it never made any claim to be following "the truth[citation needed] of the bible" so it's only normal that it has nothing to do with it. If we were to use "has nothing to do with the bible" as a reason to demonize things, then how about science, Dan Brown books, computers, and the weather channel?

    You're not expecting reason and religion to mix are you?

          It works more or less like Oil and water, if someone cares to try to mix them it'll leave them with two levels. The reasonable person who you know and likely talk to regularly, and the person who believes in some extraneous detail of a passage in an ancient story and lives by it. Different amounts for different people of course, but sometimes it's striking to observe the differences. And the conflicts that start in some people rank up there with a good set of fireworks, both in amusement and desire to not have aimed at you. That said, I've yet to find someone without some stupid belief or another so I really have a hard time criticizing anything but their lack of originality.

            Apart from Pastafarianism I have no stupid beliefs.

                I have to agree, Michael Palin was probably the funniest.

                  There's probably something in there with no rational basis. But it's pretty much because I don't know anyone who's actually sat down and thought about ever single little action they take, eventually it comes up and most people just ignore it.
