There used to be a post here, 2
Remember? Right freakin’ here! Seriously. Sometimes I think I’m losing my mind—and then I remember to pop a Klonopin, and all is just groovy with the world again. It’s one of the benefits of living in a civilized society. And not in, say, some Arkansas trailer park.

Hard-to-Counter Assertion in Religious Debate [Dan Collins]
One virtually unanswerable way to respond to others’ foul pronouncements with respect to your faith is to run them over with your cab, for nothing represents the goodness of God so well as a 4-barrel 455 V-8 careening toward a fare.
