Praise Jesus

Oh praise the Lord! Jesus I give thee thanks! God answers prayer! The Lord is so awesome!!

As I'm writing this, I'm slowly recovering from the worst case of strep throat and flu that I can remember having. I won't mention the fact that I probably got it from work, which is reason 153 of "Why Work Is Stupid!" Anyway, within a matter of about 2 hours, I went from feeling normal to laying flat on My back in bed with no strength! Now that's impressive! The next day I headed to the Doc and got on a pretty powerful dose of azithromycin, and sure enough a couple of days later I have some strength again, My 104 degree fever has broke and I'm returning to normal. Please note that I am NOT writing this for sympathy that I'm sick! I couldn't give a shit if no one knew that I'm 'under the weather' .. it's just not that big of deal!!!! I'm writing this as an example of observation of human stupidity by comparison.

Now there are several fascinating things to observe about this. The fact that a microscopic germ can bring a man to his knees is pretty damn impressive. The fact that a person can go from 'well-to-hell' in a matter of a couple hours all because a little microbe is reeking havoc inside his body is also pretty cool. Or the fact that it doesn't always have to be a volcano or massive tsunami to wipe out a big chunk of people. But I'd like to focus on the fact on just HOW I got well in the first place.

So many people today, in fact, I'd say a dangerous percentage of people, would give thanks to Jesus for healing them of sickness ... just like the Bible says. These same people don't even bat an eye to the fact that the FIRST place they went was to the damn MEDICAL DOCTOR to see what science and biology could do about it! In fact .. if you did corner these people about the fact that science made them feel better, they would just argue that JESUS gave us the knowledge to create antibiotics. It's really a no win situation with these people. It just pisses Me off that people are this ignorant to the truth in this day and age. That there is REAL, testable, demonstrable evidence as to why we get sick and how medical science can fix it. But these ignorant assholes would rather take the medicine, but give all the credit to the fact that their church put their sickness on a 'prayer chain' at the local church! Fucking assholes!!

If I had one wish, it would be that all these religious nutcases out there were not allowed to use man-made science in ANY PART of their lives. Everything and anything they need will have to come out of their magic book. Going by that theory, you wouldn't have a car, or running water, or electricity, or your tennis shoes, your cellphone, or your computer. Yeah .. I think a 1 month course in reality would shock you back into the real world. I would say that all you'd have left in your life would be to go live at your church ... but since there is so much science involved in that building too ... you wouldn't be allowed to stay there for shelter either.

So as I continue to feel better and recover from a massive ass whooping of strep throat, I would like to give a huge shout of thanks to all the people in the medical science field who have dedicated countless hours of their lives, just to ensure that other people don't have to suffer from ailments. No doubt, your efforts have made the world an incredibly better place to live in. And sorry Jesus ... since you had NO part in this equation what-so-ever, I give you NO praise, NO thanks, and NO worship! Sorry to pop your ego bubble. Amen.
