Too bad the catholic cult won't share some of their ill gotten gains with the poor starving peoples of the world.

The christ i'm familiar with didn't display opulent expensive jewelry, live in a mansion with servants and wore bejeweled slippers.

I'm waiting for the second coming so he can smack these thieves and charlatans upside the head.

As an atheist, i should have kept my mouth shut but all the jewelry and trappings of power religious leaders wear just irritates the hell out of me. They need to ask themselves "what would Jesus do?"

As far as the government goes, we need to clean house of all those useless dickheads or at least restrict the aholes to one term in office.

You got a Derby horse yet? I'll probably make a weekend road trip to Oaklawn in a few weeks - cabin fever has me wanting to get out and about. Might make the Arkansas Derby - never been to that track.

I liked both Verrazano and Flashback last weekend. I think Flashback got a bad ride from Leparoux - his gamble didn't pay off with the speed duel. At least he held on for place money.

This weekend's Rebel Stakes is loaded. I'm studying the form and want to avoid the favorites - Super Ninety Nine and Oxbow. I've got a 48 hours to try to figure it out.

Sounds too expensive for me. I'm on a budget and a weekend trip with a bed and shower is what I need. I've got to have some betting money, you know.

And it's a block from the Arlington, which owns it. You get to use the Arlington's pools/hot tub (nice;) for free.....;}

And ask for the least expensive room. Trust me, it's like Pat O'Brians in New Orleans, you think it's expensive but it's really the best deal in town.... shuttles to the track....;}

Sounds like a plan...I haven't decided on which weekend to make my road trip.

They've got 5 west coast jocks in town for the Rebel Stakes this afternoon. I'm keeping my money in my wallet this weekend. Delhomme with Garrett Gomez would be my pick.

Exactly right.

No one forces me to donate to the Catholic Church.

Federal agents DO force me to cough up money for their rotten adventures.

Voluntary versus FORCE -- that's the bottom line. Unfortunately, it's a bottom line that Feret Mike and other leftist kooks are too STUPID to understand.

I really wish the anti-authoritarian anarchists would have won the debate with the authoritarian Marxists in the battle for the heart and soul of the left the 19th century. Unfortunately, the left was filled with idiots even back then.

Churches help the needy to help themselves by recognizing that, first, nothing is free.

I remember that story from some god forsaken country (but isn't Every country on the Planet of the Demons from Dumbass god forsaken;) in Africa.

The Church was there of course, and decided that charging 25 cents for a bundle of firewood sticks was equitable....;}
