It's the god that just keeps giving and giving. It also gives me heartburn

But is it worth the pain? Yes it is!!

Darn tootin'!!

I think it's the tomatoes. No biggie, just pop a Zantac 150 (Walmart brand of course) and I'm off to the races.

Seems appropriate to worship Satan in Florida, since it is h3ll on earth.

There are certainly worse places than Florida. Texas comes to mind.

Why is bashing Christianity considered to be such a fun spectator sport these days? Even a peep about a muslim earns what?

Well, I have to say, if there were a giant religious display for Mohammed in a state-run location (such as: a courthouse, a capitol building...) in the US, a country that ostensibly has a separation between church and state, I'm pretty sure us Satanists would be also protesting that. And if you show me such a thing in the US, I will gladly bring it to the attention of the Satanic Temple. I'm sure they'd be very very interested.

This particular Satanist movement is trying to achieve a point about the separation of Church and State and on the usage of religious exemptions to thumb one's nose at the spirit of the law. Other campaigns of the Satanic Temple have included asking to hand out colouring books to children that educated about Satanism in schools where Christian conversion materials were being distributed. Why is Christianity being 'targeted?' Because it's the religion that keeps wandering its way into governmental decision making in a country whose constitution prohibits the adoption of a state religion.

Oh god I know. Especially in the summer. It's looking like I won't get down there until May and I was hoping to be there in February or March so I could try to acclimatize before the heat hit--I was there in late June/Early July and I thought I was going to DIE. It is a hellish place.

Satan protesting? The last time he bitched to the big guy, he got his turdASS whooped real bad. Choosing satan as a leader is like picking a snakeTURD out of the toilet bowl and telling everyone it's your god. Dude, if you're cool with that, so am I.

Don't be so harsh with yourself.

Yep. Texas in the summer is no fun. Parts of it are also no fun in the winter. And in-between, you've got those Texas sized storms - not much fun either. So it essentially sucks year-round.

Around here, you've got about the three months of summer than may take a little getting used to but it's not so bad that one can't breathe. Right now, we're in the best part of the year - the span from October through May / early June where it is just terrific in Florida.

The weather is irrelevant when you have to deal with millions of trailer park exiles from up north, which is a large percentage of the people living on that sand bar.

The snow birds? They don't bother me. Well, their driving sucks.
