That part of the black community - the one that wasted it\'s money on flamboyant ministers in ritzy churches - may well have fallen apart. It wasn\'t a great loss.

Internet groups attract all kinds of silly people. We\'ve got John Doe.

Really? Marriage is a lot older than the New Testament, and in fact quite a bit older than the human race. Call it pair-bonding, and it is still working as well as it ever did, not that John Doe knows a thing about it.

So we can get an ignorant lunatic like John Doe broadcasting nonsense about stuff that he hasn\'t got a clue about. Idiots are always with us, and we do know how to deal with them. Scorn works, though John Doe seems to need remarkably concentrated doses.
