You know I’m not a bigot. But when I get on a plane, I gotta tell you if I see people in Christian garb and I think, you know, they’re identifying themselves first and foremost as Christians, I get worried; I get nervous.

Well, now I no longer have “I sent a bottle of sparkling apple juice to your house. Did you get it?” in my head. Thanks?
