1. Could you do that?
They would spot me cringing in the corner immediately.

2. You know, this isn't a bad idea...
Edited on Fri Nov-05-04 01:33 PM by KansDem
Who has a lot of money now? Churches! And which churches have the most money? Christian Fundamentalists! They have their donor schemes down to a science: hit the gullible with donations from the pulpit, on the radio and TV, and in mailings. Put the bite on them day after day, week after week, year after year. Tell them they're going to Hell if they don't pony up!

So, what to do? Put together a 60-minute talk on some aspect of "liberal" ideals invading and polluting the pure thoughts of fundies. Something like "How Rock and Roll will Erode the Minds of Pubescent Christian Fundamentalists" Rant and rile on about these evils and how good Christians need to protect themselves. Use skewed statistics and other "scientific reports" to prove your point. This could be fun. Really! Use your very best "Elmer Gantry" impersonation.

Then collect your $3,000 fee and move on to the next tank town.

I think this would be a real money-maker for someone who has the ability to keep a straight face!

3. That's a great idea!
I always had in the back of my mind an idea to start a cult. I wouldn't even make people kill themselves, just give me all their money!

4. Yes, I've thought of doing this myself.....
We need to out Conservative Crazies by calling them out. I say outlaw divorce- It's a sin against American/Christian Values.

Then lets stone the Adulterers. (That's Biblical isn't it)

I don't think I could do it alone though.
