Sanctimonious Saints-Founded in 1978 by William Tanner the I, the Saints have been circumventing individuals who have been raising their voice against the ways of the Bible by making a mockery of it ever since.

Background on Current Leadership

 * William Tanner the III is the current leader of the SS, and has been increasing his groups’ strength ever since the Internet became such an easy place to reach out to people all over the world. William the III graduated from Berkeley in ’79, just a year after his father started the SS, and initially the III was not interested in continuing his father’s work.


 * In ’85, William the I was shot in the head from a long range rifle during a speech he was giving in a rally in the small town of Odiysse in northern California. The sniper was brutally murdered by some of the SS, making identifying the killer next to impossible. William the III was outraged that someone would kill his father over protecting the word of the Bible and decided to take up the mantle of the SS.

Current Activities

 * The group has been in and out of public attention, rarely seen or heard from in the media, despite the various individuals who have been making what the SS to believe as mockery of the Good Book. William Tanner the III has recently joined the social networking giant Facebook, to keep a watchful eye for pagan words against the Bible. They have been possibly linked with various murders across the United States, but since each Chapter of the SS meets secretly throughout the States, their has been much trouble tracking them down.


 * Members have been said to be part of various other clandestine groups, and many have begun the rumors that the SS are splinter groups from such notable and infamous groups as Freemasonry and the Illuminati. Much there still is to uncover about the SS, with many governmental groups wondering what the true aims of the SS really are.

The Rules

 * 1) Thou shall not impersonate a deity.
 * 2) Thou shall cherish the Good Book above all else.
 * 3) Thou shall protect His word at all costs.

Controversies

 * Most recently, members of the SS have been trying to say that Freedom of Speech does not apply to cases were the individual is saying words that go against the Bible. Many advocates of Free Speech and patriots have publicly bashed the SS, claiming that the SS are hypocrites hiding behind the Freedom of Speech as to call their ideals righteous.


 * A few court cases have taken place, most notably and recently Brown vs. Sanctimonious Saints in 2003, where the plaintiff sued the SS a large sum of money for trying to deny him his Freedom of Speech. Brown won the hefty settlement, but the amount has not been disclosed.
