Sorry to derail this, but since you had to make the comment I feel the need to. Other's religion does not bother or offend me.  One may even ask whatever deity they worship to bless me and I feel it is a nice gesture.  It simply bothers me when others try to push their religion on others.  It bothers me more when they try to get advertisments of their religion, in some shape, form or fashion, through laws and the government, and then try to pretend it has nothing to do with religion.

It's a little sad he used the girl's story to attempt a swipe at you.  Very Christian I guess.

Just as Christian as his constantly vilifying people in need and worshiping the almighty dollar.

Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

Ya'll give guido a break. Just because he has been off his game lately, don't mean he won't snap out of it.

I bet even Tiger Woods wins another golf tournament some day.

Obviously if you had enough money you could just shrink the camel or get a bigger needle.

I see Mr. Wet Nurse has weighed in. Oh, and I took another indirect swipe at those guys in Ferraro's passing's thread. I will look forward to you doing the same over there.
