Religious Crap:

I (Brian) found a funny religious pamphlet called "The Christmas Religion" when we did our show in Deland, FL (it's pretty much a white-bread Christian town from what we could tell, but we had fun there anyway) and these are some quotes from it that I thought were particularly amusing and hypocritical:

"The most blasphemous of their [Catholics'] pagan masses is the Mass of Christ (Christmas)."

"Christmas observance is participation in Babylonian sun worship."

"Mary is not the mother of God."

"There is no cross in the Christmas Religion. The Devil replaced that with a Christmas tree. There is no redemption in the heathen customs. Many glory more in a Christmas tree than they do in the cross." (Can't imagine why, I mean who wants to look at a beautiful, shining, pine-smelling plant when they can check out a dead bloody corpse nailed to a couple 4x4 pieces of wood made by destroying the lovely trees? Maybe I'm just stupid. I apologize for that interjection. I shall continue)

"How sad to see professing Christians annually tag along behind the Devil and ignorantly worship the birth of his sun god, Baal."

"This cult focuses on the celebration of Christmas, and it has replaced the Lord Jesus with a white-bearded gentleman called Santa Claus"

"Satan rallies up a pretty big worship for himself at Halloween and Easter but they are mere genuflections in comparison to the veneration he enjoys at Christmas time."

My favorite: "You will note that the divine attributes of omnipotence, omniscience, and omnipresence are assigned to this counterfeit God -- 'He knows when you are sleeping. He knows when you are awake. He knows when you've been good or bad, So be good for goodness sake.' Is that not blasphemy? It is a blasphemous religion."

The moral: Don't believe everything you read, there are a lot of fucking morons out there and a lot of them have access to church funds and printing presses.
