Okay, I can't find the thread about cool movies and books/stories, so I am putting this here: (I thought this was an interesting short story)

Saw a stupid church sign.....

On my way to school last night, I passed by a nutter's emporium church with a sign that read:

DOES GOD HEAL?
HE STAKED HIS LIFE ON IT.

What the fuck does that even mean?

I'll try to go back and get a pic. Fucking idiots.

GOD was staked to a cross, which put his life at stake. Get it? Clever, huh? But he was healed a few hours later. Did you know that? And he'll heal you, too. But not if you get staked to a cross. He'll have to let you die if you stake your own life that way, because you're not a GOD or even a god. Only a GOD can heal after staking his own life on getting staked. You know why? Because a GOD is immortal and, technically, doesn't have a life to stake, which means he's bound to heal when he's staked.

Because that's how it works. Apparently. Or so I'm told. But I don't believe it.

Wonderful steaks may be had by mail directly from Omaha, or so I've been told.

My thoughts jumped immediately to the Christian Science clowns that preypray over their kids until they diego to Jeebus.

While my grandpa lost his leg to cancer when I was 16, I prayed. Yeah, he has one leg now. It worked great.

Did you pray for it to grow back? I hear the results on those kind of prayers are very good.

This story is wrong on so many levels, but it clearly demonstrates that there's a long way to go for some parts of the world. They probably won't even take the first step in my lifetime.

That stupid bastard husband was still clueless about his own superstition for twin sets two through five. Of course there is nothing at all wrong with his twin-making stick. Looks like an entire culture can be stuck being creepy wankers.
