We'll cover all our bases and hire people of all faiths. We'll have tens of thousands of people praying to boost our science output. It's sure to work!

How about we tax churches 50% on their income and property and then use that money to feed the hungry, house the homeless, and take care of the sick?

See, that's a reasonable idea. This is /crazyideas.

But it won’t ever be allowed to happen - doesn’t that make it a crazy idea?
