4. Just saw the French Revolution: The Priests went to the Blade

along with many others of the Aristocracy.....They were considered in cahoots with the Royals and Lords of Estates.

I am not saying we should off with their heads but our Nut Jobs promoting Theocracies should be exposed ... Guys like Falwell and Robertson, etc and let us not forget Swaggert and Bakker...along with Ernest Angley.... They and the mega rich care not for the people... and it shows....
