(Of course, all of these could also, and do, go in the section below. I just thought they deserved a bit of spotlighting for laboring so in the pornfields of the Lady and her woolly-thighed consort.)

or the Quakers to you and me. Now I have a lot of problems with the most calcified (hello, Vatican) and literal (hello, Falwell, Robertson, Dobson, Rushdoony, etc.) forms of Christianity.
