one to mind, being careful to attribute gives everyone a chance to get to twitter and see more or tweet.

I think the line is a good one.

Nothing personal, I learn from your posting and look forward to it.

Judas was an early modern day conservative disciple.

Judas got 30 pieces of silver, but just once, for selling Christ.

Pat Robertson, Jim Bakker and their ilk get millions of dollars repeatedly for selling Christ.

Judas was a fool for doing a one-time sale.

5. Hypocrisy's become a dominant American virtue.

If you start pointing out hypocrisy, you'll quickly have no friends, no job, nobody who'll claim you as a relative, and you'll be banned from all forms of social media. Going back to IRC. FTP would even stop acknowledging you, don't even think that HTTP would even register your keystrokes.

And that would be the consequences on the first day.

7. I assume we're talking about Actual Jesus, and not Republican Jesus.

Republican Jesus sits back and blames the Democrats for the mess the leaders of his party created, and calls for them to clean it up.

8. The stench: I know all about that.

I retired after working at a Salvation Army homeless shelter (interesting since I was an atheist). The men had roll-out beds and slept together on the gym floor. Yes, the stench was bad and they could shower every day.

I was the custodian and in all of my life I had never been called "sir" by more people, nearly all of them homeless. I got the job at my interview when I quoted Jesus from the book of Mathew (I have actually read the Bible, all of it).
The maintenance man was my immediate supervisor and we worked closely together. He was a devout evangelical.
After I worked there a month I told him I was an atheist and he was shocked. He assumed that I was a Christian based upon how I treated people and that I knew the Bible.
He also told me that he respected my beliefs and that he would never preach to me. And he didn't.
