Eh not horribly surprised. Seriously. The most visible people in the media are usually the ones either scaring people, or claiming God is on their side, or the ones being caught for illegal shit. In some ways it's kind of like the government. The difference is that in religion the aim is to have faith in the higher power. In government... I don't think anyone has any faith in the jackass behind the wheel.
I'm also suspicious for all kinds of other reasons. I was actually planning to become a Pastor at one point in my life and did my undergrad at Presbyterian school and had religion as one of my majors for part of my time there.
Things changed.
I gotta remember to set my alarm for my chiropractor appointment tomorrow, my back is not very happy

Yeah. Time was, I was wanting to be in the ministry myself, one way or another. But over the years I sort of slid into the opinion that God simply does not work the way all too many people say S/He/It does. I'm pretty sure that The Divine is a much hoopier frood than that.
Yeah, I came to the conclusion that God simply does not work.
omg!
Much cuteness.
Turn up the speakers.
Very much work safe.

While we're grilling you, your login wouldn't by any chance have to do with TMBG, would it?
yup, pretty much
Oh, excellent.
WRT the religion issue, I still consider myself to be Christian, but I don't think the blowhards who are co-opting our government would consider me as such. Which is fair enough, because I think that by calling themselves "Christian" they make Jesus want to puke.
My big problems with religion (of any stripe, from Christian to Shinto to Wicca) is not so much God, or gods, but with the people who use other peoples' faith/devotion/fear/hope/etc. in order to gain power and manipulate others.
I'm pretty sure that The Divine is a much hoopier frood than that.
Yes. This.
In other news, my morning started off well. I'd set up the coffee maker to start at 5:00 a.m. All well and good, except that I forgot to put the carafe in the coffee maker. I got to mop up lots of wonderful smelling coffee that I could not drink.
Quelle torture.
Ah, well. The other pot should be done by now.
