So true. Jadams is one of the more child-like posters on MADB. He/she will probably never figure out how babies are really made, either, but we are taught that Jesus would like everyone to be so innocent.
What a vicious calumny against children. I'm sure Jesus would dispute innocence as having anything to do with willful and utter ignorance.

And to make amends the Romans co-opted the Christians and taught them the subtle art of persecution.
I'm not sure there's anything subtle about lions, but I suppose it's a matter of personal taste.

Help a girl out here? :)
Sometimes I'm for the church, and sometimes I'm against it. Depends on my own personal inspiration at the time. :-)
I keep getting burned by that blunder. Thought both skippy and Lurker were Y Chromozoners.

Actually, the Branch Davidians hold the record for the most persecuted religion--and, therefore, the most true--since they lost over 95% of their members in one fell swoop.
No other religion can proudly claim such a high casualty rate.
