I guess Columbus Day isn’t the only day corporate America celebrates forced conversion. Somehow baked bread and burning in hell seem oddly discordant

You haven't been to Joplin, Mo., have you. Burning in hell is ALWAYS a discussion there (and in other places like it, I suspect). (And I'm glad we're over our Peep snit. I laid awake at night, worrying.)

We can certainly agree that the acceptable window for Peeps is very small.

Thank you. I feel a little bit healed over this.

When you believe in a pagan religion but discriminate against people who believe in a pagan religion

Hypocrisy much??

This is just wrong on so many levels. Sounds to me like these folks need to make some noise on the corporate level about the way they were mistreated.

This kind of nonsense gives Christians a crappy name -- among other nonsense.

I’ve never been to Hell but I’ve been to Panera. I wouldn’t be surprised if the bagels in Hell come from Panera.

But their broccoli soup? From heaven, I'm pretty sure.

Makes it sound like Panera has food stands in purgatory, limbo and bardo. “A little snack-to-go for your trip?” If you’re a Buddhist, you get table service while the reincarnation stuff gets sorted out. If you come back as a dog, you get a complimentary bag of biscuits (Or bagels? I swear it’s hard to tell the difference).

Paul, you should run for God. You have some great ideas about the after-life.
