The Pope ordered the crusades, while "Bob" ordered slacking off. One of these people heads a 'noble religion' and one founded an 'evil cult'.

Extremeist...Hm...Me and them types of people don't get along. That's why I always fight with my grandmother. This is like the Gay marriage thing with me. You live your life and I'll screw mine up on my own. ^.^ I don't need help doing that. When I die I'll go where I go.
