If faith works how every religion says it works......

I have faith that the guy I found standing on a street corner knows how to fix my leaking gas oven.

STUPID!

I have faith that the homeless guy I've picked up and taken into my home is merely down on his luck, and that I can help him get back on his feet!

IDIOT!

I have faith that there is an invisible, benevolent god who sees what I do every second of my life, and that he loves me!

<APPLAUSE>
The difference is that the leaking oven fix and the homeless guy are actually possible!

Anyone remember that Saturday Night Live (original cast) fake commercial for Bad Idea Jeans?
I'm really shitty at giving kudos and rep. That's because I would be inconsistent in remembering to do them, and also I don't really want it to show if any favouritism is happening. Even worse would be inconsistencies causing false favouritisms to show. So, fuck it. Just assume that I've given you some good rep and a number of kudos, and everyone should be happy...
