Rattlesnakes, Garages, and Religion before/after Note to Self: If you join a religion, and religious services take place in a garage, its probably not a real realigion. addendum: If you join a religion, and religious services are located far away from the general population, culminating in an outdoor ritual of handling of fanged venemous and greatly annoyed reptiles, its probably time to look for another religion. What does amuse is the thought that now that its the Lenten season, with mid-week services and all, those poor bastards have to contend with death bi-weekly. And exactly how does one get signed up for a gig like that? Do you just go to a local church, and after awhile check out the fellowship scene out in the parking lot, and someone throws an angry rattler at you? Doesn't seem to be a very attendance friendly tactic. What is the lead-in? How does one broach the topic of angry poisonous animal bothering, and make it sound legit? "Hey-et. Naaaoooowww. Foh a reahl....uhhhhmmm...afff-uh-may-shuuuuun of faith, onnnne must hummmbleee hold the rattler, and pray to the LOR-DUH." Furthermore, one MUST be an avid recruiter for the faith if one wants to keep a semblance of a congregation. After all, rattlers are quick, and not everyone has the full true faith. "Poor Nellie-Sue. Six years old, and STILL DIDNT TRUST THE LOR-DUH." I keep waiting for our stupidity to wipe us out.
