Opera is devil worship? I'll have to show my representatives this so they'll stop public funding for opera! Then the millions we save can be used for something sensible, like aiding young musicians who might some day become great export items.

Nah, rock and heavy metal are satanic too. Let's just drink the money.

It so absolutely clear that religion is ultimately a destructive force.

From DA's mouth!!!

Wow, it MUST be destructive, then. And in this case...dumbasses they are, doubting centuries-old folklore-based literature for freaking satanism.

"Now on FOXNEWS...British magical star Harry Potter is charged with satanism...AGAIN...along with David Copperfield..."

What the hell are you talking about? I never pretended to be a zealot.

I am a constitutional conservative only. I abhor the religious hijacking of the Republican Party by the "religious right" and the consequential transformation from constitutional conservatism to social conservatism.

Social conservatism is crap. It goes back to the monkey/banana/cage theory; doing things because that is just the way it has always been done.
