Render unto Caesars Palace ...

When I first read about this, I thought it was something from The Onion. It's not. (Although it has inspired one online satire already.) My favorite part ...

Combat Harmful Addiction: combating addiction by using modern terms for it, such as "gamble" rather than "cast lots"

'Cuz, you know, casting lots for Jesus' cloak sounds like a respectable American activity for the whole family whereas everybody knows that to "gamble" for His garments -- never mind take a pull on Megabucks -- makes you just plain Evil and, without doubt, on an express train to Hell.

(And, hey, who's anyone to say those Roman soldiers at Golgotha were gambling "addicts"? Judge not lest ye be judged! Or so those notorious softies in the Catholic Church taught us.)

Faulty Towers. When it comes to taking the blame for the truncation of the Harmon(ini) at CityCenter, all parties involved constitute a bunch of signifying monkeys. Tony Illia explains how, yet again, failure is an orphan.

Conservative Bible:
Weird as the whole project sounds, I followed some of the pages to this wiki:
"Genesis (Translated)
From Conservapedia
Jump to: navigation, search
This article has been nominated for deletion. See Conservapedia:AFD Genesis_(Translated)
Retrieved from "http://conservapedia.com/Genesis_(Translated)"
Category: Deletion candidates"
- The article is blank. Does this means that all Conservatives can find nothing subversive in the Book, or that they want to jettison the whole thing as polluted?

Harmon: Pointing fingers for failure? -> GUVMENT! Everybody knows that government can't manage anything. (Pardon me, I have to take a drink of city water... gasp-choke-expire).

Some religious people actually believed Jesus to be poor,
poverty actually being a "blessing" and taking vows
of poverty. Contrast this with the fact Roman soldiers gambled
over his clothes and Jesus had a treasurer - Judas!

I'm sure that some Methodists of the left-leaning Rev. Tom Grey ilk would be down with the "casting lots"/"gambling" change, too, so I don't want to make this a left-right thing. As for Jesus' selection of treasurer, He obviously could not have chosen a worse person in whom to entrust the community purse.

David,
IMHO it wasn't the purse that was in trouble. Judas had that well in hand (increased by 30 pieces of silver)...
It was the person of Jesus who suffered at the hands of his "treasurer".
Remind anybody of today's economy?
