Object: On Topic. Nice Quote.
"He who begins loving Christianity better than Truth, will proceed by
loving his own sect or Church better than Christianity, and in the end
loving himself better than all;"
W. K. Clifford (1845-79), in his Lectures and Essays (1879).
- which IMO sums up a figure approximating 99% of the "Christianity"
and Christians we see hereabouts.
--
"Do Unto Others As You Would Have Them Do Unto You."
- Attrib: Pauline Reage.
Inexpensive VHS & other video to CD/DVD conversion?

I notice no mention of the Bible or Jesus. :)

Yes. That's the "in" joke.
If you like I can explain in excruciating detail why it's funny, in a
very sad kind of a way.
