Farmers, right.

While we are on the subject can you Yanks do something about the piles of evangelical cash flooding the rest of the world, eg, New Zealand? Our failure of a religious party gets funding from the US and they are hopeless (but noisy due to the cash).

Between the Saudis funding Islam globally, and evangelicals funding the world’s born again I am starting to miss good old fashioned easy going religion.

There may be a bright side to the U.S. economy circling the drain…

I’m spoiled by the extremely moderate Anglican churches we have here. Believing in god is pretty optional for members as far as I can tell ;)

Welcome to Church of England, cake or death?

Blame England for running them out of their country to begin with. Australia got the criminals, we got the evangelicals. I think England needs to take the evangelicals back.

We’re a finishing school for all kinds of religious nutjobs, get in the queue.

Back on a slightly more serious bend: sometimes I feel bad for disliking evangelicals. If they truly think I’m going to hell because of my beliefs, there’s a part of me that should really appreciate their sincerity in wanting me to be saved. However, it’s just not their due to the immense level of obnoxiousness that their most vocal members bring to the table.

I’m with the rich lord in Blackadder season 1: why would you want to go to heaven to be with all those boring evangelicals and the choirs and the harps and whatnot?

Tell them you are doing them a favour by not trying to get into heaven as you would be a real party pooper. You would always be “that guy” that everyone regretted inviting but because it’s heaven and everyone has to be nice to each other, you always are, even though you are a total buzz kill and keep picking fights with god before locking the door and passing out in the only toilet.
