it was the funniest thing i can remember in some time. she never asked him again after that.
if you sleep in a garage, you don't start calling yourself a car, do you? but because many go to church and play the part, they call themselves christian-and they really aren't. matter of fact, a study showed evangelists are more prone to be racist, divorced, bigot, etc. so yeah, that's one of many reasons religion gets a bad rap.

Jerry Sandusky went to church every Sunday.. Just sayin.
