1. Having "Focus on the Family"

based in Colorado Springs so they can easily convert the AF Academy guys is a first step.

Colorado Springs creeped me out like nowhere else I've ever been. There is actually a sign off the highway ADVERTISING that those fuckwits have a visitor center there. If I'd been a guy I would have gone just to take a whiz on their front lawn.

2. As a christian myself I can say - I hope the hell they haven't

Evangelicals would do well to read the NT and all about the church falling away from it's roots.

Much of the bible is spent railing against it's own believers for straying, and for good reason. The RW would do well to take heed :)

8. Oh Jesus! (Wait, let me re-word that...)

I thought I was fairly conversant with most conspiracy theories, but if I ever knew that much about the Knights of Malta I forgot it. Maybe it was better that way.
