When it’s only the in-crowd left, it will be interesting which of them will be targeted for the next purge. With them it will always be:

My religion is the only true one.
My denomination is the only true one.
My sect is the only true one.
My sub-sect is the only true one.
My splinter group is the only true one.
My line of scripture trumps your line of scripture.

And so on.

.

AMEN! AMEN! AMEN! AMEN! AMEN! AMEN! AMEN!

!ABSOLUTELY INDEED!
SEE JOKE BELOW
THAT IS A SUPREME EXAMPLE
OF TOO MUCH OF WHAT HAS BEEN
GOING ON HERE.

This morning I received thrilling news: a joke I wrote more than 20 years ago has been voted the funniest religious joke of all time! In case you've missed it, here it is:

Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump.

I said, "Don't do it!" He said, "Nobody loves me." I said, "God loves you. Do you believe in God?"

He said, "Yes." I said, "Are you a Christian or a Jew?" He said, "A Christian." I said, "Me, too! Protestant or Catholic?" He said, "Protestant." I said, "Me, too! What franchise?" He said, "Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Baptist or Southern Baptist?" He said, "Northern Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist or Northern Liberal Baptist?"

He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region, or Northern Conservative Baptist Eastern Region?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region." I said, "Me, too!"

Northern Conservative†Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879, or Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912." I said, "Die, heretic!" And I pushed him over.

Ha. Funniest joke I have seen in years. I grew up Baptist (I won’t tell you which kind of Baptist)

Thank you for posting that Quix. I guess I haven’t heard it for close to twenty years.

I used to think the FR community would be the people whom I could trust in a revolution. Now, I would be afraid of being shot in the back.

Jim Robinson has been way more congenial to folks calling him names and supporting his enemies than I ever would have been.

The goal is a more Conservative America - pro-life, pro-family, pro-God.

If it is too late to see that happen nationally (and it may not be yet) we can still help it happen individually.
