“On the ABC website for ‘Good Morning America,’ a poll is being taken that asks, ‘Should Catholic Priests Be Allowed to Marry?’ This is a great idea—Catholics very much want to hear from non-Catholics what they think about the Catholic Church’s internal strictures. In fact, the idea is so good that it ought to be extended to Jews and Muslims. So in the spirit of inclusion, the Catholic League is asking two questions: a) Should Orthodox Jews Be Allowed to Eat Ham Sandwiches? and b) Should Muslim Women Be Allowed to Wear Mini Skirts?
“The ABC poll on Catholics offers three possible responses:
Yes. It is unfair to prevent them from experiencing one of life’s joys: companionship.
No. The vows are founded in religious doctrine and tradition and should not be changed.
I’m not sure.
“Accordingly, I would like to amend the affirmative option regarding Orthodox Jews to read:
Yes. It is unfair to prevent them from experiencing one of life’s joys: pork.
“Regarding Muslim women, the affirmative response is:
Yes. It is unfair to prevent them from experiencing one of life’s joys: being a sex tease.

I took some interest about the Good Morning America poll regarding marriage and Catholic priests. In the interest of inclusiveness, you should include polls about Orthodox Jews enjoying pork products�. Mmmmm�.. bacon�� aghhhh�. (oops! Sorry, wrong network) and Muslim women wearing mini skirts. Please, include age and weight limitations on this one! While we are at it, how about Hindu�s pain of missing on a red, delicious, juicy filet mignon? At least a Burger King Whopper!
Thank you for treating all religions with the same respect.
How about an aethiest’s joy of… wait, I’ll think of something.
Based on the commentary on another blog I read, the atheist’s joy is in correcting other peoples spelling of atheist.
And don’t forget the Mormons are prevented from experiencing one of life’s joys: coffee.
cjmr,
Ok, I had that coming, but give me a break.
It was a long night.
