oh yeah definitely.
I know an Engineer...and ENGINEER...an educated, clever, pragmatic man
...except he is also a born-again Baptist.
He thinks that big earthquake that hit Haiti in 2010 was a judgment,
because Haiti "sold its soul to the devil"
in exchange for its freedom.
Also, he plumes himself on being enlightened because he was raised with Catholicism
but escaped the lies of the Catholic Church in favour of the "truth" of the Baptist Church.
I also know another man like that....the two of them work together, as it happens...
but the second man was raised in a Baptist home,
and plumes himself on escaping the lies of the Baptist Church,
in favour of the "truth" of the LDS.
Talk about the fucking frying pan and the fire.
Next stop, Jonestown.
