  • All we need is another born again "amener" in the White House. I don't dislike Christians, I grew up as one and feel comfortable with them, but some of us have moved beyond the flat earth, Garden of Eden, Cain and Abel thing. I grew up in a town where 99.99 percent of the people were French Roman Catholics. My dad was the .001 percent Protestant. Can we get over ourselves and move into the nineteenth century at least? Really, science may have the only key to our salvation on earth. I think God must have been responsible for giving us a brain.
