NICE! And to think I doubted the Big Guy. He is a guy right? White beard? Gandolph-ish staff? Blond and blue eyes like His son?

No offence Genghis, but with Social Security entitlements hanging over our head, the last thing we should do is glorify being super old and telling people how to live long. Maybe that was Bush II's idea with making health care reserved for the rich few. If more people die younger because they don't have access to health care we won't have to pay them when they get old! Suckers.

"Heretics ... deserve to be thoroughly disemboweled." Someone -- either Joseph the Latriner or his translator Genghis -- is showing himself rather soft on heresy. Partial disembowelment seems a far more appropriate punishment, in that the agony is excruciatingly prolonged. I'd be curious whether Joseph would agree after he himself was hanged, drawn, quartered and disemboweled (and possbly crucified for the hell of it).
