You know how conservatives hate "urban" folk.

Doubt he will be "Innocent" either.

Which is, in fact, the church I was reared in. But I've long since realized that religion---any religion---is utter bilge.

and saying "LXIX" as a word ... "Licks-ixs" ... makes it just that much funnier.

God sends me texts on a regular basis.

But he's kind of fickle. Part of the time he's asking me who he should have date Taylor Swift next, then he's asking about how best to have storms prove climate change, then over to dancing with the Stars, then which middle east country should act up next ...

I think he has DADD, Deity Attention Deficient Disorder.
