Thanks for the birthday wishes; they are appreciated. 

I wanted to clarify, now that I'm a little calmer, that when I'm speaking of  the shriveled old prats, I am talking about the sanctimonious seven in New York (not my parents!).  It's just so frustrating sometimes! I haven't been a part of this cult for decades and yet, every time I turn around, it still manages to reach it's sticky fingers into my life and control it somehow!

Even through the frustration, I  still have a strong sense that this ridiculous excuse for religion is beginning it's own end. Because of the web, they simply cannot control all information anymore and that presents a major problem. I don't think they can overcome this one. I think their days of growing numbers are over.
