Nailing Shoes to the Natives’ Feet

(Paraphrasing George Carlin)

Religion is a wonderful thing. Really. Honestly. It’s like a lift in your shoes; it helps you walk straight.

But not everybody needs lifts in their shoes, not everybody has flat feet, and not everybody wants to have a spring in their step.

So, please, don’t try to put your lifts in my shoes, and for Christ’s sake, let’s not go nailing shoes to the natives’ feet.
