It has come to my attention that there are loonies among us who don't realize that they're loonies. As a public service, I've prepared the following list of indicators to help those unsure of their loony status. Please note that the following list is by no mean exhaustive.
*****
1. If you have no problem reconciling infinite punishment with finite trangressions, you are a loony.
2. If you believe that the creation stories in Genesis are literal history, you are a loony.
3. If you believe that devils, djinn, kami and so forth are actual beings that need to be placated, you are a loony.
4. If you believe that a Hindu queen was impregnated by a white, six-tusked elephant, you're a loony.
5. If you think bathing in a polluted river is the best way to remove your sins, you are a loony.
6. If you think your child's infection is more likely to be cured with prayer than with anti-biotics, you are a dangerous loony.
7. If you deny biological evolution in favour of creationism, or you support the notion that creationism deserves equal time in school with science courses, you are a loony.
8. If you've ever bought a piece of the True Cross, a splinter of gopher wood from the Ark, or you think the Shroud of Turin is anything other than a painting, you're a loony.
9. If you think there is a gay agenda whose purpose is to overthrow Christianity and 'convert' your children, you are a loony.
10. If anything on this list applies to you and you still think you're NOT a loony...you're a loony.
As I said, the above is not exhaustive. Please feel free to add or amend, or to suggest changes (additions suggested by loonies will be subject to review by non-loonies). Thank you for your time.
