#6 Yup, you just gotta' watch out fer us Lutherans! After all, Uncle Martin started the whole protest thingie what all with nailin' them credos to the door o' the local Catholic big churchie buildin' and then goin's off and marryin hisself a bride o' Christ and all.

Why, we could prob'ly give thems jihadis a run fer their money in the whole religiousity war stuff. Us'n the Papists, that is (and if they starts foolin' around in Italy why, they mights just find theyselves runnin' afoul o' the Church and the Mafia and that'd be a bad, bad thing from the jihadis point o' view).
