is it just me?
or has anyone else noticed a marked increase in religious stories on "news" and morning programs? I usually watch my local newscast on ABC, then leave GMA on while I do my morning stuff. It seems to me that at least once a week they are doing some piece or another on religion. This morning they are discussing exorcism. What's up with this?

1. But don't you realize god's coming is imminent
He'll come on a magic carpet with 144,000 gay elves, and take away all the
homosexuals to the promised land.

its practically news! ;-)

3. Ahhhhh.
Thanks for clarifying. Being from Massachusetts, the gay marriage capital of the world, I guess I'm so surrounded by debauchery and marriage compromisers, that I didn't notice. Hey I just realized, today is my 19th wedding anniversary, and I haven't turned gay yet! WTF? Could the right be wrong?!?!

4. "Right" means right of god
In the book of ianthisamed which i just discovered and translated from a clay pot
i just found under a rock, the cracked paper barely readable, the original aramaic
text reads: "And god created the right and left wing, he created stupid people, which
he called "nationalists", and asinine poeple, he called "republicans". He made a family
of untouchable lowlife that translates as some sort of small tree or shrubbery...."

- book of ianthisamed, scroll 1, verse 3 ;-)

2. I've noticed that too.
I'm wondering if it's all backlash from The DaVinci Code (?).

5. that's being covered by CBS ...
i didn't bother to check NBC, but i'm sure they are covering another angle for the *moron's appeasement to the fundies.
