It's deeper than that, man. Banknotes printed in California have an a serial number starting with an 'L'. The California Gold Rush was an important of the state's early history. One of the three federal mints for coins is in San Francisco, home of the Golden Gate Bridge. It's all because of the Masons; flip one of those bills over and see if an eye isn't staring at you! I'm freaking out man!

Though it's true that Hell is a dubious concept Biblically, who am I to argue with traditions and mischievous children?

So you see this is why some of us reject Chris's talk of agnosticism being the only logical course.

Any "Organized Atheism" is probably a contradiction in terms -
it's only the positive aspects of any kind of belief that can
hold a group of people together for any length of time.

I don't allow Flash (nor Java) to run on my machines, but I'm intrigued.

Might there be a text-based treatise available somewhere?

It's basically a joke about the Atheist church being protested by the crazy Agnostics and a riot ensues. Not really very funny (just like the cartoon itself--stupid adult swim always letting me down) but it fit the topic.
