My buddy Tim sent me this in response to my bit about Jerry Falwell.

Good Bolg about JF...what a bonehead. Gives those who believe in a Loving and Forgiving God the heebeegeebees and a bad rep. He's got no "street cred" in my opinion. And he DON'T speak for me and my faith at all.

These quotes (I think) best sum up the whole realm of self-serving religious fanatics in the world…and it applies to ALL of them (Jew, Muslim, Christian, Sikh, Hindu, etc). God is Good. He is Love. Not all the BS humanity attaches to him. It must make him sick to his stomach to see his named dragged through the mud and attached to all the evil this world done “in his name” (9/11, Crusades, Inquisition, Waco, Palestine/Israel…you get the picture). Imagine how you would feel if some fanatic went and killed a bunch of people and said they did it out of devotion to you? Or because you told them to? Or that you need to hate someone because they are different? The God I believe in reached into the world to make it better. To show how love and acceptance are the way to solve problems. Not jerk people around because you don’t feel good about yourself. In the end, I find that humans do these things not because some higher-power/or some book told them to, but because "they need to find something to hate more than they hate themselves"…so endedth the lesson.

MacKnife weighed in with this after reading my comment about The Senators.

Like Freddie P, I'm a true, blue Leafs fan and when it comes to the playoffs and our beloved Leafs are out golfing, it's ABO (Anybody But Ottawa) for me. Couldn't give a crap that they are the only "Canadian" team left. They are led by the refugee from the Simpsons (Krusty the Klown) even though he has had a haircut, and he ain't Canadian anyway, and I hate the fact that he has a chance to hold the Holy Grail aloft before the Leafs captain, Sundin! Also the Senaturds owner is a traitor to this country anyway, by living abroad most of the year he avoids paying his taxes, so based on that, who really paid for that team, us, the Canadian taxpayer, that's who. And he wants Canadians to support them! Like hell! I will watch each and every game and hope fervently that the Senaturds choke yet again, if not against Buffalo then against whoever they face in the Cup final, and I hope it's Detroit and Hasek, coz they'll chew the Sens up and spit them back out!
GO ABO! GO!
PS Buffalo ain't dead, yet, twitching maybe, but not quite dead. Pray to Jesus for a resurrection!
