Blind faith and stinking miracles
Submitted by joyfulchicken on March 20, 2008 - 9:59pm.Religious nutjobs seem to come crawling out of the woodwork every Holy Week. In this country, some devotees like to nail themselves to crosses or whip themselves on the back until they bleed. The head of the Department of Health even had to issue a warning about how using dirty whips can lead to tetanus. Well, duh.
Of course, we don't have a monopoly on this retarded brand of Christianity. A few weeks ago in India, rumors spread that an image of the Virgin Mary was miraculously appearing on the sun--yes, that big bright shiny thing in the sky. So some smart people gathered around and started gazing at the sun to get a glimpse of the miracle, and... over 50 of them lost their sight. That sure gives a fresh new meaning to the term "blind faith" huh.
Not to be outdone by his mother, Jesus also appears to his faithful followers from time to time, often in the most unexpected places.
Happy Holy Week :-P
