I look to the Word

No ... You're looking to Matthew Henry.

History proves me right. I'm not claiming that Matthew 16:18 suggests that the Roman Catholic Church is the one and only true church; I'm not suggesting that the papacy has any claim to being the link between man and God because it bases legitimacy of itself on Peter being the first Pope.

However, Christ said in Matthew 16:18 that he would build his church with Peter as its foundation. Transferring that to mean Peter's faith is, IMO, a splitting of hairs. History shows that Peter was the foundation of the Christian church, regardless of which hares you're splitting.

I also didn't make any references, implied or otherwise, about where you would be spending eternity.

My point remains: if indeed South Park does more to advance conservative values than anything else on television, then we should all kill our televisions.

South Park is juvenile fart jokes and offends purely for the sake of offending. Or, as in the case of last night's episode, for the sake of stroking Trey Stone and Matt Parker's egos.

Hehe, you said which "hares" you're splitting. That's right down the middle of the punch line of this South Park episode! You sure you're not one of their writers? :)
