Still think my title was better.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

I'm anxiously (not really) waiting for the explanation of how this isn't idolatry.

it's idolatry whether she was praying to the correct idol or not

I assume she's catholic. They don't really talk directly to god. You talk to a saint, who talks to god for you.

Beyond my wildest dreams... whew I needed that laugh bitch.

"Adulthood is like looking both ways before you cross the road, and then getting hit by an airplane"  - sarcasm_only

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie

Who, quick as a flash, does absolutely nothing.

He's a bone idol.
