Religious Views of Robert Vernon
Yes, by all means, let’s investigate Vernon’s religious beliefs, and use them as a weapon against him. We must purge Los Angeles of this too-prevalent belief in the existence of God.
After we remove the last vestiges of Christianity from city government, we can set to work on the greater task of purging our citizens of it. I recommend a law requiring all Christians to wear large yellow crosses on their clothing, so we can spot them from a safe distance, lest their pernicious doctrines of love and forgiveness and salvation disrupt our prized independence and self-realization. Then, after we round them up and put them safely away, we can take a look at the Jews among us.
