I have an idea: Get the worship of Elvis to replace Christian fundamentalism


Think of the bennies:

- January 8th will be declared a religious holiday, if not an extra day off from work

- Straight folks will be encouraged to dress in flashy clothes with lots of sequins... It's be a gay extravaganza

- Instead of trying to get the Ten Commandments installed everywhere, all they'll try to do is make a Hajj to Graceland

- Elvis loved everybody... Especially, red heads

- It'll get all of the fundies out of government and into fried peanut butter and banana restaurants, where they belong

- Instead of priests, people would have their marriages officiated by Elvis impersonators... Wait a sec, they're already doing that in Vegas

- No pesky Old Testament or Book of Revelation to deal with

- Instead of waiting for the Rapture to happen, they can all go to Memphis any time they want to

3. And, Elvis knew how to manage his money. He wasn't broke he way the current deity is.
Though he might have to throw a gig or two to update the rhinestones.
