Stephen Colbert

How many Catholic schools do you think teach the students to question the authority of the Pope? Do you believe Christian schools teach students to question or challenge the authority of Jesus Christ? Do military schools teach the cadets to challenge the authority.

You can look at Bad Religion, and, really, almost everything I've ever done was an exercise in creativity.
