Only in America

I love the smell of self-flagellation in the morning!

C'mon guys! What are you doing?
Somehow I don't think whining and self-pity is going to be enough.

I just puked a little in my mouth.. After seeing the scars of my friends who have tried to kill themselves, I have a hard time looking at pictures of people hurting themselves like that. Bloody morons, I would say. Oh, and next time, please warn me, I was about to faint and my customers looked kind of funny at me

But back to the topic, yeah, you Americans have some weird ass religious people. We have some too, but fortunately Finns are not a very vocal people, worshipping and judging happens for most of the time in people's own homes. Sure, there are some idiots with megaphones now and then out preaching, but they can be easily ignored. Unfortunately there's an alarming trend amongst our politicians, they become increasingly "faithful", and I don't like it. Being delusional is not a good way to assure people that you're fit to take care of the country, but the stupid masses seem to fall for it..

I wish people in the USA would practice their superstitions and rituals at home but they aren't happy unless they are preaching to someone else. Christopher Hitchens put it perfectly in his debate with the crackpot Al Sharpton. When he compared religion to a favorite toy.
