Gotta love Humanities class.

So, we're going over Mary Shelly's Frankenstein and how it's an example of life imitating art. We looked over cloning and psychology (I have a feeling this book is going to be mentioned every day in that class and I'm going to eventually get sick of it). And she had a list of reasons why people are against cloning, and at the bottom was "It's not natural. We're meddling in God's domain." You know, the standard arguement when it comes to zealous Christians "proving" their point.

Well, I hear this on the internet a lot, but never in real life: Clothes aren't natural. Glasses aren't natural. Cars, computers, telephones, television, buildings, the educational system, the printing process, peanut butter, none of those are natural! What the fuck are you doing putting your kid in a private school, wearing clothes and correctional lenses, driving to work, watching the news every night, reading the paper, calling your mom, checking your email, and making PB&J sandwiches for your third grader to take for lunch tomorrow?! You want natural, huh? Fine then. If you want it natural, then we'll all be living naked in caves eating raw rat meat. No comfort, no human-started fire, no modesty, and no Bible.

Do the overly religious ever THINK before opening their mouths?

Nope. They banned this Tarot Card reading thing our school had included as part of it's Arts Festival this Friday because it wasn't Godly. So you have to be over eighteen to do it, otherwise it counts as 'poisoning the minds of children'. Damned overly-religious types...

Damnit, I hate being right.
