Circling the Drain

I wish the Pope would hurry up and die already. Nothing against him (besides his homophobia) but I'm tired of watching him deteriorate. I'm also tired of my "psychic" friend predicting his death every other month. I guess she had to be right one of these times.

I think it's funny how christians invoke god into everything they say. Instead of saying the pope's dying they say he's "in god's hands" and "heaven's gates are opening for him." Terri Schiavo didn't die yesterday. She "stepped into eternity."

I'm tired of people who finish their sentences with "god willing." It's a subtle method of "witnessing" that religious freaks use to make you acknowledge their message. I prefer zealots who directly ask you if you've "heard the good news" because you can simply tell them to fuck off. But there's little you can do when people punctuate everything with "god willing" except roll your eyes.

Some people take comfort in constantly reinforcing their faith. It reminds me of the way retarded children body-rock to soothe themselves.
