Random Quote
Like my parents, I have never been a regular church member or churchgoer. It doesn't seem plausible to me that there is the kind of God who watches over human affairs, listens to prayers, and tries to guide people to follow His precepts — there is just too much misery and cruelty for that. On the other hand, I respect and envy the people who get inspiration from their religions.
[Benjamin Spock]

No, it is literally true, every damn word of it.

It's times like this that I am thankful I am not a biologist.

"IF" there were a God/Creator, could we call "Him/Her/It" a loving God if he has duped all of you scientist into spending your entire earthly lives minutely examining His/Her/It's Creation, while you not even receiving a comforting Cosmic pat on your collective heads in acknowledgment for doing all this labor for free while the non-scientist diddle their lives in cushy comfort while pondering the results of your free labor, without even acknowledging said labor, only because the results of your labor verify the existence of their Creator?
I therefore propose: "Take a Scientist to Church Week" as a grand thank you to all scientist for your continuing free labor of which each new "discovery" only make us nonscientist gush (and blush) at the ever more intelligence of our grand designer -- God.
Shalom,
Bro. Bartleby
