Just to put things right - I wasn't upset at the joke - I thought it was hilarious, - I just didn't like the comment that was made after it - which apparently I completely misunderstood, because I thought the writer was taking offense on behalf of Baptists, etc. Anyway I apologize, if I hurt anybody's feelings, I was really just making a misguided rush to somebody 's defense, I'm not really sure whose!
