That's hilarious. I was thinking about the FSM but decided I'd better just keep my mouth shut and leave. Wasn't there to ruffle feathers. Besides, I used to be religious (Christian, even) until I kinda realized what I believed didn't make any logical sense. With the exception of my drinking, everything has been innumerably better in my life since I quit trying to convince myself the Bible is true. I finally felt that same sense of freedom that so many Christians tell me awaits if I'd just give religion a chance (again).
