The Christmas we get, we deserve.
Away in a gutter
No food and no bed
The little Lord Jesus
Hangs down his sweet head
The stars in the bright sky
Look down and they say
The little Lord Jesus
Is wasting away.
We love you Lord Jesus
We hope you survive
We’ll see you tomorrow
If you’re still alive
You won’t live for long now
With no tender care
You’re best off in heaven
We’ll see you up there.
The darkness is lifting
The baby awakes
But little Lord Jesus
No movement he makes
No flesh on his body
No light in his eye
The little Lord Jesus
Is going to die.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

The poll sucks. What does "God" mean? The Christian god? Jewish? Both? "God" could normally encompass the main monotheistic religions, including Islam. Better to ask what religion people are.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

Make of that what you will.
The poll's still rubbish because it fails, as any such poll must, to address the inordinate diversity of things-that-are-believed-in. I'll go for the Andyw option as being the default mechanism for expressing the belief that the poll sucks.Comment
