Go read a book. Now. If it's a scriptural text, maybe you should try something more edifying and less violent. My lady friend is pretty cool :)

Sounds Like: "A modern believer can say and even believe that his faith is quite compatible with science and medicine, but the awkward fact will always be that both things have a tendency to break religion's monopoly, and have often been fiercely resisted for that reason. What happens to the faith healer and the shaman when any poor citizen can see the full effect of drugs and surgeries, administered without ceremonies or mystifications? Roughly the same thing as happens to the rainmaker when the climatologist turns up, or to the diviner from the heavens when schoolteachers get hold of elementary telescopes. Plagues of antiquity were held to be punishment from the gods, which did much to strengthen the hold of the priesthood and much to encourage the burning of infidels and heretics who were thought—in an alternative explanation—to be spreading disease by witchcraft or else poisoning the wells." Christopher Hitchens

The Aeolian harp whistled in the windIn rhythm to the SCRATCHING of a penIn rhythm to the STRIKING of a matchIt was his wedding nightAnd he kept to himself~Joel Monet
