I Have Nothing to Say
No, really. I've been trying to come up with something to write about and it's just not happening.
Actually, never mind. I may have just figured out how to get out of the catholic church: have an abortion. Seriously. Apparently being involved in an abortion means automatic excommunication, which sounds just great. Actually, that story is pretty sad: 9-year-old Brazilian girl gets impregnated by her stepfather and has an abortion, so the girl's family and the doctors who performed the abortion were automatically excommunicated from the church. At the time, the Vatican was all "hey guys, let's not be too mean to the little pregnant girl," but they have since "clarified" their position, stating:

God Makes me Feel Sick
But apparently that's just me. I read a fun article about the impact of religion on overall health. I learned that I'm going to die two to three years early because I never go to church. Of course, if I went to church for an hour a week, I'd be wasting half a year of my life, not to mention the time I'd spend driving there and back. Oh well, at least I'm not left-handed.

America Makes me Sad :(
Especially when I see stuff like the Presidential Prayer Team for Kids. Because praying for the president is totally going to make him do a better job. At first I thought this couldn't be serious, but then I remembered that I live in a country initially populated by religious lunatics expelled from Europe. :'( Check out the downloads section; they have a PowerPoint slide!
I did read some cool stuff today though:
Amen
Here's an article about praying for lower gas prices that's worth reading. It's entertaining anyway.
