          Why should the guns folk see red, I thought Christ was a pacifist.

                Have you got one of those illustrated bibles, you know, where this short black haired dark clean shaven eastern Mediterranean jew is depicted as a tall bearded blond?

                      Government isn't accustomed to truth, hey?
                      A society predicated on the assumption that everyone in it should want to get rich is not well situated to become either ethical or imaginative.

                            Didn't we assert something like that in the treaty of Tripoli ?
                            Art. 11. As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity, of Mussulmen; and, as the said States never entered into any war, or act of hostility against any Mahometan nation, it is declared by the parties, that no pretext arising from religious opinions, shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.

                              I don't even allow that book on my fantasy shelf.

                              All kidding aside, while it might be handy for reference, I haven't owned any version of the Christian bible for many years.

                              What are you doing about it?
