I find it ironic that people who are against things that cause sexual thoughts are generally fundamentalist Christians who also believe you should be fruitful and multiply.
A Christian will say... "I believe God created me in one day" Yeah, looks liked He rushed it.
I wish I could meet a Christian who would proselytize to me, but they keep running away from me. I wanna talk to you all.
I don't know what you all believe, and I don't really care ... but you have to admit that beliefs are odd. Lots of Christians wear crosses around their necks ... you really think when Jesus comes back, he ever wants to see a f-king cross?
A lotta Christians wear crosses 'round their necks; do you think if Jesus comes back he ever wants to see another cross?
Good comedy helps people know they're not alone. Great comedy provides an answer.

I do not believe making money in order to consume goods is mankind's sole purpose on this planet.
I'm not into those kind of rivalries. I remember standing out in front of Stratford, minding my own business. Carload of about eighty kids would pull up: 'STRATFORD SUCKS!' Am I supposed to run after these guys? I'd just stand there, you know. They'd back up. 'STRATFORD SUCKS! ...STRATFORD SUCKS!' I'd say, 'I know. I go there. You're wasting gas, man.
