2. Sounds like they screwed up that paint job.
Thex and the Conthervative Theology. Thimple. Thex is a thin. Abthinance is Godly thince God doethnt have thex. Right? Of courthe, motht Conthervativeth are Chrithtian they mutht not partake of the forbidden fruit except for in the purthuit of making babieth (in wedlock of courth).

The couple is better off anyway, sounds like a rather repressed church--then again, by some standards, most churches are repressive. Likewise religions are repressive, even if they may engender imagined feelings of being set free (perhaps freedom from fully appropriate and useful guilt?). Alas... that simply means that people of religion are more likely to both think in repressive ways and to accept repression more willingly. Repression by the state, while different, isn't that different... Repression by the state, if that state is a theocracy is all but assured. So many conservatives, especially evangelical or fundamentalist Christians seem to actually want more rules, repression and possibly even a theocracy by any other name.

I hope the sensible Christians out there see this and oppose it in a timely fashion and the rest of us (sensible or not, Christian or not) succeed in preventing these forces of oppression from gaining even greater control (consider the strength of these groups in the Congress, Supreme Court and even the Presidency--and don't forget all the Conservative federal judges other than the Supremes that have been appointed)(gulp).
