I am a Christian - but sometimes I feel very removed from Christianity. The Jesus Christ that I believe in was the man who turned over the tables in the temple and threw the money-changers out - substitute T.V. evangelists if you like…why in the West, do we spend so much money on extending the arms race instead of wiping out malaria, which could be eradicated given ten minutes worth of the world's arm budget? To me, we are living in the most un- Christian times. When I see these racketeers, the snake-oil salesmen on these right-winged television stations, asking for not your $20.00, or your $50.00, but your $100.00 in the name of Jesus Christ, I just want to throw up! !.

About This Quote

In the 1980s George Carlin said, “The greatest thing that could happen to America would be to have a real good earthquake and destroy the east coast and only leave the west. That would be a wonderful thing for California and Texas and Florida, and it would be like we're all alone.” I think he may have said it tongue-in-cheek but George Carlin has a point, we should really try to destroy the east coast as much as possible. We don't need anymore of those stupid snotty liberals in our way.
