Out of your friend's earshot I'd be tempted to hiss some salient facts... but it wouldn't help your friend after all. You're doing the right thing in being there for him (and you're in my thoughts for that) and also in biting your tongue. If these people get the God they believe in, come the pearly gates they will be called to account. Jesus welcomed prostitutes and tax collecters.

Actually - kick them in the cunt. If Jesus is on their side he'll stop it hurting.

Oh my, Sundae Girl, thanks for a much needed laugh! I actually have thought of confronting his sister in private (she's the worst), but what's the use of having a show down with a mean, close minded fundamentalist in a situation that's already bad enough? This woman once described to me with relish how god sends babies to burn in hell for eternity. You'll be pleased to know that according to her this includes 99.9% of babies whoever have been or will be born and die in infancy, since they are not baptized Pentecostal. Oh, barf!

Cicero, send those sutra's coming. You know I'm more Buddhist than I am anything else, so your efforts will be much appreciated. And I promise that on my way out of town to the hospital today, I will check my mail. I look forward to something to cheer me up!
