I figured that there should be a feast set up across the street from them. But yours is funnier.

Great minds!!!

Alas! I am unable to pray because I posted a pic of Jesus with a bong.... I'm banned from the prayer square.

The group’s brief warns of a slide towards incestuous and polygamous marriages if the court finds in favour of same-sex marriage.

somehow purifies the "soul" is a particularly noxious belief.

They should just go whole hog and wear hair shirts while they flagellate themselves.
