Well, I guess that's it.  I may as well admit it-- I am a pagan, and I didn't
even know it!  And all of Christianity turns out to be a farce!  Who knew?

Richard did.  Richard, that faith-crushin', intellectual GIANT knew it all
along.  With one search on Google, he destroyed a 2000 year old religion with
the stroke of a few keys.  Simply amazing!

Careful now; former Christians now rendered religionless will be looking for
someone to worship, and an intellect such as yours will be a natural focal
point.

I can see it now-- little froggie fetishes, millions of Hispanics naming their
kids "Dick Zeus"; you will surely be renamed "Haupt Frog"!

One word of warning, though.  Another budding religion that is sure to gain
membership in this glut of potential parishioners is the Larritarians (All Hail
Larry!)  They have a head start on you-- it should be interesting to see which
of you prevail!
