Go Bush!

[swestrup]

I've just returned from the monthly LJ meetup where many fine folks showed up and gabbed for hours on all topics under the sun. One of these topics was, of course, Bush and his proposed amendment. During the discussion it suddenly ocurred to me that this amendment, should it pass, would at least outlaw one pernicious group of religious fantatics and social misfits who've done so much damage worldwide that their banning should be universally accepted.

I am, of course, talking about Catholic Nuns. These weird ladies have one of the strangest marriage customs I have ever heard of, and one that is sure to be prevented by this new constitutional change. For those not in the know, Catholic Nuns dress up in wedding gowns and go through a ceremony where they are wedded to someone they call 'Jesus Christ'. This fellow is never physically seen to be present at the marriages, although the Nuns claim his spiritual presence alone is sufficient. Now, this is strange enough, but ALL of the Nuns in the world are apparantly married to this same guy! This is in blatant disregard for the laws against bigamy. What's more,  the simplest research on this 'Jesus' character shows that he died close to 2000 years ago!

So, we have this fanatical group of Necro-Bigamists who've taken it upon themselves to open schools and teach morality to our children. I say for once Bush has the right idea! Ban them all!

Very hilarious Mister...

Rumours of this Jesus Christ being dead are over-rated. Apparently he is alive and well and living in an undefined location, rather like Osama bin Laden.

Wasn't he rumoured to have been in some Middle Eastern cave too?

I know a lot of people claim they've found him. He's probably hanging out with Elvis.

I dunno. It all seems a bit Monty Pythonesque to me:

Onlookers: "He's Dead!"
Jesus: "No I'm not!"
Onlookers: "Well, he was dead a moment ago!"
Jesus: "I'm getting better!"
Onlookers: "You can't be!"
Jesus: "I think I'll go for a walk now!"
Onlookers: "Look, you aren't fooling anyone, any moment now you'll
be stone cold dead again!"

Anyway, I checked and he hasn't dropped by Burger World in simply ages, so I think maybe he's passed on again.

(I did say something about "minimal research" or something in my post. Its not like I expected anyone to take any of it seriously...)

Good one

As with many other laws, the chances of this being applied consistently, if passed, "are about the same as those of you putting premium gasoline into a rental Yugo".
