Well, then have Xantalos give you the rest of it. Problem solved.

Not like you guys are like, tons of miles apart, or anything.
I have a dorfen drawbridge around here somewhere. It will be an acceptable catapult.

Aim it in the general direction of Tennessee. The laws of plot and comedy should ensure that it lands somewhat nearby.

And if you miss, I'm sure someone or some bird will still receive it.

If you're aiming at Sirius and miss, you might hit me. Depends on how big of a miss, I suppose.

It got hot again here. Normally this only just pisses me off, largely due to the "Why the hell am I sweating the Summer is over and my air conditioner is still broken" factor, but it means the MOSQUITOES ARE FUCKING BACK. COME THE HELL ON. Why do they keep coming in here? HOW do they keep coming in here? I lock the windows. I commit genocide on their fiendish species. I make it my mission to spray flying ones with water and stomp their land-locked bodies.

Purge the unclean; acquire spiders. Look for still waters and place predator fish in them.

Note: If you are a follower of the Christian Science Church, you are not going to like my post.

So, there's a local book festival at my town, and I decided to go and wander. Speaking to all the independent publishers and other author's sitting at stands is always fun, even if I didn't have any money with me (I went straight from SAT testing this morning). Anyways, I am walking with a couple friends, and this chick asks if we would like to pick out a "Thought of the Day" from her bucket of papers. She then gives us a list of "75 Books by Women that Changed the World".

I look through it, absentmindedly, and then she starts telling us about the book (which all the "thoughts" happened to be from) called "Science and Health with Key to the Scripture". She claimed that this Eddy lady has risen the dead, and done pretty much everything up to that, too. ("Although, I don't think she ever met a leper! But the rest of this stuff on the cover she has done!") Lady proceeds to tell me that if I know somebody who is dying and whom the Doctor's can't help, I need to buy her book so that I can heal whomever.

Now, my family has had some pretty terrible crap happen, become more religious from it, and then had a practical repeat of the same catastrophe happen again. It just makes me angry when people are like this lady, claiming that people die because they don't pray enough, or things like that. I didn't say anything to her, since I was with a couple religious friends of mine whom I didn't want to upset, but I was pretty upset about it. And I mean, I know there are tons of people like that (a whole church, actually), but being confronted with those ideas just made me angry.

FAKEEDIT: Researching this lady, Wikipedia is making me want to cry:

Quote from: Wikipedia
In 1872 Eddy had an argument with her first student Richard Kennedy and he was expelled from Christian Science. Later she came to believe out of revenge that he was using mental powers to destroy her so Eddy ordered her students to "mobilize all their mental energy to combat him".

Eddy believed that former students actually had the power to commit “mental assassination". After a breakup with one of her early protégés, Daniel H. Spofford, she thought he was using mental malpractice to undermine her Christian Science practice and ordered her students to stand outside her bedroom door to mentally ward off any attacks by Spofford. In a celebrated case (1878) that earned her much negative publicity, she took part in a lawsuit against Spofford, claiming that he deliberately practiced malicious mesmerism on one of her unhealed patients, Lucretia Brown. Irreverently dubbed "The Second Salem Witch Trial", the suit was eventually thrown out of court.

Aye, it's pretty terrible.

Even if the guilt tripping isn't intended, it's still bad. The unfortunate implication of all the "faith healing" and miracle stories is that some people are apparently helped by God (or whatever) and some aren't. You can't be omnibenevolent and pick favorites.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

I'm always disappointed by people who believe that prayer or spiritual stuff will help solve their material problems.

I mean, there's some medical evidence that prayer/meditation/etc helps mental calmness. But faith healing? And things like that?

Shut up and get your kid to the doctors. You can meditate while they medicate.

Edit: And then there's just the pseudoscience, like "Differently angled water!"

Blood boils when I think of those quacks hurting gullible people like that.

Aye, it's pretty terrible.
Practically criminal considering all the people that have died as a result. Christian Science is near the top of the list for me when it comes to worst forms of Christianity.
