24. Hard to Believe a Society Needs a Tax Base, Huh?
And those die-hard Republicans thought it was all just a dirty liberal trick to take their money from them and their Jesus.

Perhaps this will be a historical day when Texas starts to figure out there is more to good livin' than just Jesus and bar-b-que.

But now I am kinda curious to discover just how quickly 51 churches in a 7 mile radius would take to burn without a fire department. Not that I'm advocating arson, mind you. But I would like to know if Jesus likes to play jokes with lightning bolts.

And one final observation:

In a town that inundated with houses of worship, one way to maximize their tax revenue from the remaining acreage would be to build as many strip clubs as possible. People surrounded by that much piety love a good pole dance.
