Good. It is a reminder that even the peaceful have their limits. 😀

A priest is sitting in the confessional when he realizes he really needs to take a dump. He peeks out the door and sees the janitor. "psst, hey moppy, come here, can you sit here and listen to these confessions while I go drop trou?" The janitor is hesitant, but the priest reassures him and shows him the list of sins and their penance hanging on the wall. The Janitor agrees and soon people start lining up. The first person comes in and states they have told a couple of lies during the week. So the janitor looks up lies on the list and gives the proper penance. Well, after a few more simple confessions a broad walks in and confesses she has given a "few" blow jobs during the past week. The janitor looks over the list, blow jobs, blow jobs, blow jobs... hmmm... it's not on there? he looks again, blow jobs, blow jobs, blow jobs... hmmm??? He peeks out the confessional and sees an altar boy, "Hey, acolyte, what does the Father usually dole out for a blow job?"

The altar boy shrugs and says" $5.00 and a Snickers Bar"

“He who begins by loving Christianity more than Truth, will proceed by loving his sect or church better than Christianity,
and end in loving himself better than all” ~Samuel Taylor Coleridge (October 21, 1772 to July 25, 1834)

1) "Folly and Wickedness of Men:" Psalm 14:1-3 "The fool has said in his heart [Kardia on the Koine Greek referring to the human mind which circulates thought in contrast with the human heart which circulates blood], “There is no God.” They are corrupt [depraved], they have committed abominable [a]deeds; There is no one who does [divine] good. 2 The Lord has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men To see if there are any who [b]understand, Who seek after God. 3 They have all turned aside, together they have become corrupt [with covert and overt sins]; There is no one who does good, not even one." / "Footnotes: a.Psalm 14:1 Lit doings; b.Psalm 14:2 Or act wisely. " New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Every dog has its bark.

"atheistic evolution, ask him what it was that came first: the blood, the blood vessels, or the heart. If he says that it was the heart, ask him why a heart would evolve when there was no blood to be pumped anywhere. It would have nothing to beat for. If he says that the blood vessels came first, ask him why they would evolve when there was no blood. If he says that the blood evolved first, ask him how it made its way around when there were no blood vessels in which to travel and no heart to pump it. You could also ask him how and when the lungs came into the equation (if you have the heart to keep pressing him), because blood needs to be oxygenated when it flows around the body, or we will die. The only rational explanation for any of these questions is that the heart, the blood, the blood vessels and the lungs were all created at the same time.” -Ray Comfort (God Speaks: Finding Hope in the Midst of Hopelessness) http://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/8662.Ray_Comfort

The quote I like is in reference to world leaders (political and religious):
(Micah 7:4) Their best one is like thorns, Their most upright one is worse than a thorn hedge. The day of your watchmen and of your reckoning will come. Now they will panic.

"Loyalty to petrified opinion never yet broke a chain or freed a human soul." ~Mark Twain

"Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice.
Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you."
(Ephesians 4:31-32)
