Or, at the very least, we could compare the census results with a log we'll take at next Sunday's service, and then we could mail cloaks with yellow stars on them to all the kids who didn't go to church.

And then if they didn't wear them, we'd have ample justification to pack them into trains and ship them off to Nebraska. Or ship them off to some evil convent school where sadistic, fucked-up nuns can teach them the love of their Holy Father by beating the shit out of them and humiliating them and impugning their self-esteem on a daily basis. That'll learn the scum to follow the One True Path.

Idiot. Face it, pal, Kids get morals from their nurture and loving parents and relatives - who, incidentally, need not to be of a particular formation of men/women to form a good home for a child - and fucking up, and upsetting people. That way they learn what they can and can't do, and learn to consider beyond their own frame of reference. Telling them about what a bunch of arbitrary guys with beards postulated as an effective means of control over the masses over two thousand years ago doesn't really even register on the same order of magnitude. Especially when it's being filtered through some jerk in a silk suit telling you to give him your money.

If you want to talk to God, and you want to affirm your belief in him, etc, go direct. Don't go to church. All they want is your money. And that's shit. I'm not a Christian, (anymore, hint hint) but I've seen so much hypocrisy and misery caused by those evangelical holes - well...and for you to suggest that non-Christians are future serial killers...if you even whispered that over here, we'd knock your fucking head off. With axes. ;~)
