What exactly is the point of the magic underwear? Is it suppposed some sort of holy shield for your genitals?
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

Faith No More, some Mormons really believe it protects them from evil. Some think it helps keep them chaste. Honestly, it is just so bizarre to me. I'd have to refer you to the wiki article for clarification. It does a much better job explaining than I could.

We are are part of nature, built from the same stuff as stars, planets, asteroids, and comets. Our protons and neutrons have been around since the earliest times, glued together into heavy elements of long dead ancient suns, blasted out into the universe and resculpted from diffuse interstellar dust clouds by the gentle hand of gravity. When the pattern of atoms known to be you ceases to be, the building blocks will return to the voids of space, and in a billion years or more, they may take their place in another structure so beautiful that a future mind may perceive it to be the work of a god. ~ Brian Cox

That was a superb and enlightening story to read, thanks for sharing.
I have a coat that's been mistaken for Joseph's technicolor dreamcoat but it hasn't resulted in any realisations (aside from my poor taste in coats).
I respect you too much to believe that you could possibly hold those ridiculous beliefs. - Richard Dawkins, 2012
