In a perverse way, I enjoyed reading this. It kind of helps me understand what all the weirdos out there are thinking.

My brother got married to a very nice woman whose father is a pastor. At the wedding, this pastor compared his own daughter to a coal car. It went something like this...

"Since Rusty likes trains, I'm going to use this ridiculous train metaphor. In a marriage, the husband is the engine. The wife is the coal car, who provides energy and support for the husband. And Jesus is the tracks!"

It's now a legendary joke among certain members of my family. Jeez, I can hardly believe people really buy into this stuff sometimes. But it is reinforced by religion.
