I was thinking more in terms of not allowing the advertising of occultic
services in newspapers.
Burning people was never really a Protestant thang, although some
individuals did muddy the waters on that score.

That would severely impede the conversation.

them.

I don't think what goes for animals goes for humans, I'm not the evolution
believer around here.

Well, tough! We're not buying blasphemous food.

I haven't advocated violence, in point of fact.
I may sometimes feel like it, as a sinner, but we are not allowed to use
these methods.
