Nice To See Christianity Still Scares - Tucker Carlson From MSNBC

That bow tie wearing guy gives us a very good piece here.

People often make jokes about Episcopalians being boring, and unfortunately they’re usually right. I know this because on most Sundays I sit through an Episcopal Church service with my wife and children. It’s a reassuringly predictable experience, always exactly an hour long. And you’ll never meet nicer people. If you needed someone to hold your wallet, or if you were lost in an unfamiliar neighborhood and had to duck into a stranger’s house to use the bathroom, you could do a whole lot worse than to meet up with an Episcopalian. No one has better manners.

And that may be the problem. ...

Just wait until the "My religion is better than yours" crowd shows up.

Robin Williams did a great stand up piece on Episcopalianism once....

Can you get the dialog from Robin Williams' piece and post it? That would brighten my day.

That piece was hysterical. I have William's " Live on Broadway" VHS. He also has some very funny things to say about TROP. He calls their holy day KABOOM!!!

[misterrob]

I couldn't do it justice but he calls Epsisopalianism, Catholic Lite....

[Between the Lines]

Episcopal - that's Catholic lite: same religion, half the guilt.

"Dead religions don't give people the creeps. They don't make atheists mad. They don't keep Alan Dershowitz up at night. But Christianity still does. What a relief. It's nice to see that our faith still scares people."
