I’m pretty sure I am not going to meet their requirements… Number 3 and numbers 6/7 maybe (unless you count coffee and my pain meds an addiction), but the rest is just not happening. I honestly am having trouble believing anyone can meet these standards. Especially x-ians!

  4. #2, #5, and #9 — Who makes the judgment? And #3 — what kind of addiction are we talking about here? I mean, the individual could be “addicted” to Jesus, right?

    • You know as much as the believers do dive into their determination to believe, I get the feeling most of it is a put on. A show.

  7. An All Saints Band, eh?

    They should recruit from among Norwegian bachelors. “So you know they’re not only good for you, they’re pure, mostly.”
