Slightly suggestive that my passion of the Christ post was an attack on
religion, I don't believe you suggest this, but could be construed as such.
Attacking religion was never any intention of my post.

If the shoe fits, am I to blame for their shoe size?

Well lets talk about that for second. I suppose they wanted to give him a
megaphone instead?

It is my logic, that the temper tantrum of Jesus was the coffin nail as it were.

And certainly it was not ALL Jews and therein lies the trouble with the wording.
My bad. My wife is part Jewish and apparently Jesus a full-blood. Also I Love
Ben Stein!

I have done nothing of the sort. You're the one with the rampant paranoia.

Oh, you're quite welcome. I have plenty more where that came from.

(Dang! 4 replies to one post by the OP....)

My post is mostly tongue in cheek.

It all depends on who you ask, of course.

Competency and efficiency in the government? Not a chance.

Not only that, but those fluoridated people also have strong, healthy 
teeth.

They also make tap water much better tasting IMO, especially if you're 
in a region where the tap water is not very good. Better yet, reverse 
osmosis, but because it is so effective at removing all contaminants 
(even natural occurring minerals) from the water, watch out for water 
intoxication.

fluoride is an ion, not a molecule. Get it right.

Seeing that people are living longer all the time, especially since tap 
water was fluoridated.

I think that figure would be about the same. Seeing as the perpetrators 
were mentally unstable in the first place, and snapped due to societal 
pressures.

No everybody is working and has family who love them, except for Mike, he never
got a clue, sadly like too many others on the planet.

How many cats do you have?

Oh and not everyone is as dense as you think, they see your true purpose by the
words you type, learning about you and your moral intention. Caution my friend,
true colors are revealing.
