Ding-dong! Get the door, it's the Inquisition!

Oh, Tom. How did I not know you were a religious zealot? Now I can never again order one of your delicious, sugar-laden pizzas. No, seriously. I can't. Why? Because I don't knowingly support fanatically religious business owners of any faith. (That goes for you, too, Pete Coors.)

It has come to my attention that Tom Monaghan, the founder of Domino's Pizza, is funding a Catholic community in Naples, Florida called "Ave Maria." The purpose of this hamlet is—as he puts it—to "Get more people into heaven." A nice sentiment, except that he means Catholic heaven. (You know, the only real heaven.)

Tom-town will have its own radio station, law center, and even a dating service to make sure its citizens are never accidentally exposed to other ways of thinking, or alternative (and potentially contradictory) points of view. The law center will be dedicated to helping make sure people outside of "Vatican South" also enjoy the benefits of submitting to an unquestionable theocratic authority and the joy of no longer thinking for themselves— whether they want it or not.

Honestly, if you want to live in a world isolated from the ugly realities around you, that's fine—after all, that's why I live in Northern California. But forcing your unproven beliefs on others is crossing a line in this country. The line between the religious freedom and religious fanaticism.
