Have you ever thought about starting a new religion or perhaps a hometown franchise of an old one? Perhaps you’re just looking for a career ladder in a religious enterprise that already exists. No? Maybe you should. Religion is big business.

No complaint as long as the church is in a nice neighborhood and the minister isn't getting into your sister's undies or her bank account.

Nuclear physics doesn't make any rational sense to me, because I don't know very much about it. I have tried to splain it for you, but I can't understand it for you. I am suggesting that your ocean of knowledge wouldn't even get your feet wet and your mental functioning is severely impaired.

I think it is good for you to put me on your ignore list. I think that if you were posting less of your stuff and reading more of my posts, you would begin to move up toward average intelligence. Also, I will not be reading or making comments on OPP after the 15th of September, so it really doesn't matter.

As I said, there is very good money in religion and anyone can own a church. Also, they are tax exempt.
