The Jews have already played their trump card (the victim card). I'm surprised they played it so early, but it's certainly the best card in their deck. The Baptists are trying to recruit Jews to convert and they're using the old and solid "Hey we're just talking about it" defense. Should be a good fight.
This could get "old school" pretty quick. Could be fun. I say we arm both sides with the largest amount of military hardware we can spare and sell tickets.

You don't see the Ku Klux Klan reaching out to all the "Uncle Toms", do you? That sort of thing just isn't done on our Honky side of the world.

Here's a quote from one of the Baptist leaders. A typical fundmentalist busy-body:
"We believe we have a life-changing message that we are commanded to tell everyone. We don't use force, and we don't want to be rude or offensive in any way."
I love "commanded". Sounds like the baptists are saying they can't help themselves. They MUST go after the Jews since ya know, the Jews are just wrong and somebody's gotta set'em straight.

It's exactly this "White Man's Burden" mass mentality that makes me want to vomit and makes certain sects of Christianity nothing more than a horrid boil on the ass of society. (The ass being Christianity itself)

Two words for ya , babe - Beannie Wennie . Beats matzah any day .
PS - Couldn't they have picked a different part of the matzah to eat than the balls ?
Good work!
And along those lines - couldn't they have picked a different part of the beannie other than the weenie?

Originally posted by wibLet me jsut say off the bat that I am a Baptist. Frequently hunted for heres, but a Baptist none the less. Baptists today are some of the most screwed up people you could imagine. Somehow they are "commanded" and can't see how that word implies "force." There is nothing about Baptists or Christians that Jews don't already know today. Absolutely nothing, except maybe how wonderful our fried chicken is.

I never hear of Jews bangin on our door to make us kosher. To all of them, I offer a simple thank you. From a Baptist, please hear me when I say I wish more of us were like you.
