Oldie that is still apropos with all the "value" politicians today. "Religion is like a Penis..."

"Religion is like a penis. It's fine to have one, and it's fine to be proud of it. But please don't whip it out in public and start waving it around..."

(I kept the later, and cruder, addition to the quote off the post. You can find it via Google.)

Edit: auto-complete is not my friend.

who was in a full rant about the maintenance guy in her mother's apartment who felt it was OK to spout off his rw religious zeal while fixing the plumbing. He's moving to AZ because he likes the governor and the politics and wants to be there for the second coming of JC.

Thanks for posting.

As mentioned in the op, there is an add on to the quote that makes it even more crude. Effective imagery but the question is always, "does being more blue make it more effective?"

In other words, I like your aunt's version.
