Yes!!  (Praise Jesus, she's got it!)

Now, everybody, may I lovingly request that ya'all please shut up!  I take a 
break from doing math problems that are giving my 
any-hemisphere-but-the-math-one brain a headache, and read the list, only to 
get ANOTHER headache!  Yeesh!  We've treaded this treacherous and 
quasi-blasphemous ground before, ya know??  Watch your step on the slippery 
slope.  (Talk about your "Downward Spirals"!)

God help us all if religion is really a mandate for murder operating under 
the guise of "societal glue".  Of course, it isn't.  Wanna know how I know?  
Because the Bible tells me so?  'Fraid not!  Rather, if it were, this begs 
the question: "why haven't I being a devout Catholic man (with impeccable 
taste), shot Madonna yet!?!"

Just kidding, sorta,
