I had all this stuff typed out but my browser crashed. (crap) so I will make my points briefly

1. Don't eat the pudding, kool-aid, or Almond tasting treats

2. If your religion is not in the top 3 (Christian, Jewish, Muslim) Good luck with your endeavors.

3. he problem, of course, is that the Constitution forbids the Government to get involved in religious speech No where is this more evident that than In God we trust written on our money. There are groups who would like nothing more that to remove those 3 little words.

4. Nothing rests; everything moves; everything vibrates My Cellphone Vibrates Vibrator's Vibrate it doesn't mean I should pray to them

5. Personally, I love seeing when people dream up new and different religions - as long as their celebration of it is harmless to others. I couldn't agree more, if you want join Babarambaba Cult - worshipers of Mother Nature, personified in a head of lettuce named Ralph or even Jews for Jesus go right ahead.

6. I am of the school of thought that Government and "Religion" shouldn't mix. Ok so your Christian or Jewish good, you have good Morals etc and you follow faith. But.... that doesn't make you qualified to hold office.

Steps down from soap box
