[Dying of gaggage]

  Help me.  I'm confused.  Oh, now I see.  It's obvious when you really
think about it.  People exist; therefore God exists.  That's a cool way
of figuring that one out.  You don't even NEED to think about things like
evolution or, for that matter, anything scientific at all.  Come to think
of it, if I had a pre-frontal lobotomy, or had my entire brain removed,
I'd probably jump to the same conclusion.
  *FLAME*
  I believe the expression is, "Fuck off."
  Sometimes I really wish that people weren't burdened by this incessant
desire to have a spiritual purpose.  Frankly, I don't care about your
silly reasoning, your rituals, or your screwed-up politics.  Religion has
been a pain in the side of progress since day 1.  (there's a joke in there
someplace)  You can worship your idols and pray your prayers, but do them
in private, don't bother us, and let us get on with the business of making
this world a little better for everyone, not just the ones who we happen to
agree with.

I am feeling REALLY obnoxious today.  Must almost be that time.
