Yeah I think the only thing that gets transmuted is the their common sense.
This still pales in comparisions to those morons in Florida who are/were Christians yet they managed to latch on to a prophet who claims to be the Anti-Christ(in a good way?) and now they're all getting 666 tattoo's! It's a good case study anyway. |
"...things I have neither seen nor experienced nor heard tell of from anybody else; things, what is more, that do not in fact exist and could not ever exist at all. So my readers must not believe a word I say." -Lucian on his book True History
"...They accept such things on faith alone, without any evidence. So if a fraudulent and cunning person who knows how to take advantage of a situation comes among them, he can make himself rich in a short time." -Lucian critical of early Christians c.166 AD From his book, De Morte Peregrini |

Religion by it's very nature must be beyond reason and defy logic. After decades of observing our own fundies and their cultish offspring, and reading of many others past & present, there is nothng ascribed to beliefs in the supernatural that can suprise me any more. Cute kid, though...

Ritual cannibalism rendered uncreepy by deep life-long indoctrination. I've lived it but I don't get it. |

| Ha ha! THanks Val. What a silly mistake for me to make, especially after 12 years of Catholic school! |
