I think there must be a Rule 35 to go along with the infamous Rule 34 of the Internet: "If you believe it, someone hates you."

I went to a fundamentalist Baptist school (after getting bullied out of the public system), and it wasn't until around Grade 9 that the rot really started to appear--the snobbery, the hatred, the sense of moral superiority, the bigotry (I'll never forget the teacher who used the word 'coloured' in a sentence, and it wasn't art class). I think they could tell that my goose-step was out of line with everyone else's--I have a little trouble believing that people who worship the same God aren't all headed in the right direction just because of the name of the building they spend part of their weekend in.

And thanks for the props, but I can't take the credit. DC Simpson said it first :P
