You have got to be kidding.

"Mainly, we want this to be a safe haven for folks who want to raise their families," PUP organizer Dr. Richard Geringswald told WFTS-TV. "Asking God's protection from ne'er do wells and evil doers."

This might have made some sense -- except for the fact that churches knowingly hide such a great number of ". . . ne'er do wells and evil doers. . . ." within their walls.

My experience has been that the congregations of churches are chock-full of those who are there to be seen and/or are praying for crop failure for the wild oats they continue to sow, as well as absolution of sin from the people they've screwed (literally and figuratively) -- all in the name of good business practices, of course.

I think more of these ceremonies ought to take place in order to remove the curses that have been inflicted on them in the guise of "blessings."

Sorry but I see both as ridiculous.

Hey, didn't you guys hear about our special anti-blessing decoder that over-rides all symbollical blessing washers to keep our original blessings safe from such attacks?

  It they are going to bless a highway it should come with an iron clad warranty that no one will be killed or injured.  let us pray.

I did too until I read more carefully ....

"If they will not submit to God's way of living, then the prayer is to have them incarcerated or removed from the county."

Ya, that is a bit over the top since it could be open to all kinds of things.  Smoking, drinking, watching TV, dancing, listening to music, electricity, cars,.......huge can of worms there.....

That's funny and if I could follow it, then I suspect it's even funnier.
