Too Much Religion

[caffeine]

OMGs! This town is so over the top religious, it is like a sickness. It is like the whole place is Jonestown. Only the Kool-Aid is the water. I thought not being able to buy alcohol at an LQ on Sunday was annoying. In the 'burb where I am staying, you cannot get booze at a restaurant on a Sunday! There are more churches around here... Eek I feel nauseated. Oh, and one of the fucking fundies (friend my 12 yr old cousin's) cannot watch Pokemon because it is Witchcraft and Devil Magic. Also, people around here are not asshats, losers, or fucktards, they have demons. Yeah, just pray for them, that is the answer. I am sure if they all prayed hard enough, cancer and AIDS would just go away. Of course, since it has not and will not by praying, I am sure these sheep have justifications galore as to why it does not.

I recently learned at a Missouri Synod Lutheran funeral that aging and disease are the result of sin. But we shouldn't point fingers at the sick. We all sin.
I just don't see how you can think that and not use it to judge with.
Most people everywhere are crazy and stupid. Even a lot of the ones I like.

So god really designed us to be immortal and disease free, but we fucked it up by not following the rules? Wow. Really, just wow. I guess no level of argument about an omniscient and omnipotent (don't forget loving) deity understanding that the entirety of the creation was doomed to be tortured for eternity by having an unrealistic, arbitrary, oft misinterpreted, and contradictory set of rules would ever matter to these people. I could go on, really, but it is time to take food to Grandma. Not because I have to or god will torture me if I do not, but because it is the decent thing to do. Something people do for each-other because it is right. I should really try to relax, I am about to enter a den of christianity.
