			   heck, i don't want to sound like Bush going slack-jawed over
				super-market scanners and individually-wrapped cheese slices,
				 but someone told me once that temple-prostitution still
				 exists in India
				  as well. But i (perhaps unfortunately) can't really confirm
				  or 
				   deny this.

   Now just look at this post. Krishna
   is naked and they are worried
   aboout temple prostiturtes.
   Have you ever tried to use
   a temple
   prostitue while
   dressed? Hail
   Krishna, at least
   he knows enought to
  remove his
  clothees.

																   Bush,

																   "Christians" want to RE-IMPOSE prayer into the public

																	 In
																	 Matthew
																	 6:5 he

																	 HYPOCRITES!  



																		 He
																		 said
																		 in
																		 the

																		 SILENTLY IN THEIR CLOSETS, in other words, IN PRIVATE.  (Or 

																			if
																			in
																			public, they should do it IN THEIR HEADS, withOUT the

																			--MORE--(73%)               Parents who want their kids to openly and verbally
																			pray 



																			in
																			school can send them to PAROCHIAL schools, as well as to 



																			Sunday school, withOUT forcing it on others. 







																			UN-altered REPRODUCTION and DISSEMINATION of this 



																			IMPORTANT Information is ENCOURAGED. 



And this mess, what are we to think!! If the capitalized words express
a message, what is OUT UN REPRODUCTION DISSEMINATION IMPORTANT DISCOURAFGED?

I am at a loss. OH ERIS to what have i risen?
