Stupidity in my hometown
March 7, 2011 at 1:07 pm
My hometown paper has an article about a family who wants to take their ill 12 year old daughter to Lourdes! Apparently, the girl has some form of hepatitis that will necessitate a liver transplant by the time she's 20. So how does her family plan to treat this disease? They're going to take the kid to Lourdes hoping the waters will provide a miracle cure!

Twits.

But the worst part is that they want other people to pay for this trip! There will be a pancake breakfast where the proceeds will be used to fund this stupidity! Instead of using the money to cover the cost of a future liver transplant, these dopes will travel to France and bathe their daughter in "magic" water!

I feel sorry for the kid. I'm sure the parents have the girl all excited about traveling to Lourdes and possibly receiving a miracle cure. I can only imagine her disappointment when the miracle doesn't happen. These dopes might as well have a witch doctor dance around the kid and shake a rattle. It would be equally effective.

Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.

God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
