59. The problem is that Jack Sprat cannot admit that Christianity...
Edited on Wed Feb-20-08 07:10 AM by MrWiggles
...has its share of bad apples. I asked him/her whether he/she thought GWB was a Christian but according to Jack Sprat there are no bad apples in Christianity therefore I must be a Republican Bush lover for saying or implying that Bush is a Christian.

At first I thought Jack Sprat was playing dumb trying to insult me but I am starting to realize that I might be giving him/her too much credit for thinking he/she is "playing" dumb.
