Are we suppose to majikally leap that he was actually really the Tammy Faye Baker of his day? Or, uh, could he have been as the text lists it, and no more than what the text lists, as one who is a decent person doing a decent thing???

Oh if only these things were as simple as they seem...
( ok, so i had never heard of the 'nikodemous' of Tappan fame, nor the World Wrestling Hall of Fame one, so I presume that this will also work as a proof positive that Google is a Huge Demonic Ball Of Evil Ikky yukky Pooher, or some such.... )
