A business man is being forced to remove a sign celebrating the success of a local basketball team which praises the team coach with the words Geno is God
. The official reason is that it violates zoning laws which ban signs commemorating events more than sixty days ago, but Ken Bernacky has not been asked to remove another sign reading We love UConn women basketball
. The real reason is that the local church have complained that the sign is blasphemous. Maybe he should complain about any signs the church might have, seeing as they celebrate events which, if they happened at all, happened nearly 2000 years ago.

Evangelism, witnessing and similar activitites go by one name here—, and is no different from spam for viagra, penis enlargement products and pornography. We do not take advertising. If you want to advertise your imaginary friend, please spend your own money on your own web space to do so. Any attempts to use the comments section for advertisements will be deleted, and the perpetrator barred, unless they are particularly stupid, in which case I reserve the right to pinch an idea from Teresa Nielsen Hayden and delete all the vowels.
This is not a contacts site. If you are looking for help regarding a particular path, I suggest The Witches' Voice, which does operate a contacts service.
Allowed HTML:
a href, b, br, p, strong, em, ol, ul, li, blockquote, q, pre. If your name has accents in it, things will work better if you use the XHTML entities for those letters. The same applies if you are using a word processor to compose your comment, then copying and pasting the text—either turn off curly quotes and avoid using em-dashes, or edit your comment after pasting to get rid of them. Garbled comments usually get deleted.
