2. I saw a paperback version of "Holy Blood, Holy Grail"
at Costco this past week. I almost bought another copy - only to loan it out and never get it back.

41. Mary Had A Little Lamb...

... A lobster and some prunes,
A glass of milk, a piece of pie
And then some macaroons!
It made the naughty waiters grin
To see her order so!
And when they carried Mary out,
Her face was white as snow!

6. No Inquisition
No witch burnings

No Black Death (remember, the Church killed the cats which had controlled the rat population)

No Crusades

No Dark Ages (the Church burned all the books, remember?)

This is just a start, folks.

9. Fundies would
not exist. Several million people would not have been killed for religious purges. No Spanish inquisition.
WHATS THE DOWN SIDE?

25. No career for Charlton Heston!
At least, no career aside from "Ger your hands off me, you damned dirty ape!!" - and for some people, that's a career right there.

26. What if YOU were aborted????

Would YOU care???? You wouldn't exist. It wouldn't matter.

If god prophesised the coming of the Messiah, he would come. Besides, I'm sure god can take care of his own kid.

instead of the Immaculate Conception.

35. Fundies would still exist
They'd just follow Hank. Or Allah. Cthulhu. Buddha. Someone.

I am fairly certain you could figure out some way to be an atheist fundie.

Fundies are people with an extreme need to control other people. They just use Jesus (or Allah, Hank or whoever) as an excuse.

40. What If Mary Had Had An Abortion?


The answer is simple. Someone ASKED me that once! I got this wistful look, stared upward for a moment with my eyes closed and a gentle smile on my face... then I looked at the person, my face fell into an expression of deep pain and said

"Please..... Don't TOY with me like that!"

She fled in horror! :bounce:
