    Ah, the HomoLiberalAgenda is wearing off now that you're leaving New England: you neglected to mention the massive flaw in the chart. I like how "Becky" phrased it in her comment over @ The Naked Pastor:

    "Actually there were some chicks who never chickened out at – so the number never quit hit zero if you include them into the equation. But who counts property as people other than Jesus? (big grin)"

    NOOoo!!! You are right…the HLA levels are slowly going down and I'm losing my sensitivity to the marginalized. Ha!

    This is an incredible chart! thanks for sharing it with us… It shows the humor of where many have put their priorities in the church compared to Jesus!
