2. I've always wondered...
why God is apparently so concerned with the type of hat that one wears.

The little thing dangly thing round his neck is very typical.

20. Why, it's Bret Maverick!
Edited on Thu Mar-31-05 11:22 AM by Dhalgren
Who's the tall dark stranger, there
Maverick is his name
Ridin' the trails to who knows where
Luck is his companion
Gamblin' is his game

Riverboats ring your bells
Fare thee well Annabelle
Luck is the lady that he loves the best
Natchez to New Orleans
Livin' on jacks and queens
Maverick is the legend of the West!

7. The hats contain special transceivers.
They amplify the God-Signal™ that these guys are receiving from the alien entity known as JHVH-1.

24. As a child, I never could understand the "vow of poverty" thing, while
walking into churches with so much wealth in them.

26. Ha! You and me both!
The less conservative Catholic church in our town was very austere; the conservative one was sickeningly ornate.

32. As long as Bishops don't get confused and wear their mitres backwards
There are these little dangly bits (whose name I forget) which would fall right in front of their eyes.

23. To fool the rubes
"Give em the old razzle dazzle"

Elaborate churches, stained glass, incense, elaborate hats and costumes, snake handling, talking in tongues, church bells, organs, music

All to sell the myth that these people have monopoly access to god and heaven.
