The Impaler's Wall

[Jean Dudley]

The only way I can view this is as satire.  Come on;  impalement?  He  
can't be serious.  As for the wall of religious beliefs, it's going  
to have to be a very long wall.  I personally can think of several  
issues that need the money more desperately.  But I'll give him a A  
for inclusive thinking.

BTW, since Paganism is a religious group, like Christianity, its self- 
identified members should be called Pagans, not "pagans".
