Apparently if you don't believe in organized religion, you can't quote MLK
Edited on Tue Feb-10-04 08:21 PM by YellowRubberDuckie
I just posted at an Oklahoma message Board for Democrats....And I said that our peace rally turned into a freaking revival, and they freaked out nitpicking, thinking that I meant it turned into a sexcapade. I also said that I didn't believe in organized religion, so they told me I couldn't quote Martin Luther King, Jr., since I didn't. Good lord. I guess I forgot I wasn't at DU.

1. Can't quote King 'cuz your not Xian?
Does that mean you have to be Hindu to quote Ghandi? Buddhist to quote the Dalai Lama? Catholic to quote the Pope? Hmmm.... :eyes:

9. maybe you should point out
that MLK was before the falling away of the church. I'm sure you know what that means. :)
