An alteration to one of my favorite quotes...

...from Patrick O'Brian's Master & Commander
Page 112 (at least in the copy I have)

The original quote:

But you know as well as I, patriotism is a word; and one that generally comes to mean either my country, right or wrong, which is infamous, or my country is always right, which is imbecile.”


which could be re-written here (in our "safe haven&quot as:
“But you know as well as I, 'Religious Beliefs' are just words; and ones that generally comes to mean either my church, right or wrong, which is infamous, or my church is always right, which is imbecile.”


Jury decision to hide this thread in 3...2...1...

Just because.

You didn't say "poopyhead" or "interfaithy" so you are probably safe. Warren Stupidity Aug 2014 #2

will likely hide this one right along with yours.

Apparently they just never heard of what "safe haven" means and are hell bent on some sort of JIHAD against us.

The better idea would be for them to bugger off and go back to pretending we don't exist.
