30. He had me fooled for a while.
Edited on Sat Aug-12-06 08:14 PM by Blue in Portland
I wasn't paying attention, obviously.

He actually had a HUGE impact on my spiritual life. I had been active in the church in the early 1980s after being raised by an atheist and a nonpracticing Baptist, having found religion in my 20's. I "backslid," as the churchy people say, and was attempting to regain the happiness I had when I first went through that "born again" experience.

Stupid me. At least I didn't vote for * because I didn't vote at all in that first election. I honestly didn't know the differences between chimpy and Al Gore. Like I said, stupid, stupid me.

I learned a lot from *.
- trust no one.
- check the facts.
- what you DO is a hell of a lot more important than what you say.
- there is some good stuff in the Bible: Like what Jesus said about the Pharisees.
- did I mention trust no one?
