The Fly

[WinterHold]

I know a little about hand washing. As a registered nurse I once tried to count how many times I wash my hands in a shift. Before the 12 hours was up I had counted 75. There were hours left to go. The claims by religious believers that god was teaching microbiology through scripture to iron aged superstitious bandits and warlords is silly.

Not germs like in the scientific form; but for the hygiene, even the ancients had some manors and etiquette.


I keep a bottle of dry soap (lifeboy) next to me most of the time, it smells good ! that is for germs (to scienfically kill them); the washing for prayer though is -in my opinion- for the hygiene most of all. Standing to pray while one's hand is full of "pubic-area germs that smell" is not nice.
