The Continuing Burden of Bad Philosophy

"They have been so nice, I would hate to break it to them that I really prefer Nietzsche to the Bible."

-- Convicted murderer Eric Rudolph, sometimes called a "Christian terrorist" for his attacks on two abortion clinics, a gay nightclub, and the 1996 Summer Olympics, on "good people … mostly born-again Christians looking to save my soul."

Rudolph may prefer Nietzche to the Bible, but the point has always been that he has Christian supporters who approved of his actions.

They had a longer time to solve the bad pope problem, Burwell. We're newer at this! They had some who make Robertson look like Mother Theresa. No offense, Kathy. I'm ultra Catholic friendly.

The longer time frame has its disadvantages too. The Orthodox have been pissed off at us about three times longer than you guys have even had a denomination.

Hey baby, you never caught any of us saying Islam was fundamentally extremist.
