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.

Swine Flu

Well the good old U.S. has declared the 'Swine Flu' an emergency and a pandemic! That's right we now have 20 confirmed cases in the country already!! YES .. I said 20 !!!!!!

Let's see ... 300 million people live in the United States, and 20 have the flu. Hmmmm .. can you say 'SCARE TACTICS???' Does this strike anyone else as odd? Has any of you sat down and done the math? NO? OK .. I'll do it for you. That would be 0.000000066 of the population now has the swine flu!! HOLY CRAP!! No wonder why we declared an emergency!! If you multiplied the number of people currently with the swine flu by a mere 10 million, you'd have just over 1/2 of ONE PERCENT of the population infected!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

--------------

Here's some 'Back to Reality' figures for you:

- The Black Plague of the 1300's killed millions of people .. and I'm pretty sure their health care wasn't quite as advanced as ours now.

- The Spanish Flu in 1918 killed over 50 millions people!!

- Asian Flu - killed 70,000 US citizens

- The Hong Kong flu of 1968 killed 34,000 people.

--------------

I guess it's better to be safe than sorry, but it does seem a bit premature and a lot like the familiar scare tactics that is used to keep us in fear and under control. And if you want to look on the bright side, the earth population could use a little chopping away ... oh maybe a billion or so. That would solve the environmental problems too.

I got it! Let's develop the 'Religious Flu'! That would be great! All the people who are religious in the world suddenly gets massive cramping which brings them to their knees (something they're familiar with anyway), along with hearing voices in their head, and seeing things that aren't really there! There's no known cure except death, in which case they get to go meet "whoever" in the sky like they wanted to anyway!

Now if we could get a virus like that circulating around the planet, that would be a day of true celebration!! Amen.

Todays RBV: 1 Corinthians 10:8 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.


And we're worried about the swine flu spreading! God wiped out 23,000 people in ONE DAY!!

It's a MIRACLE

Have you ever heard a story where a friend (or maybe even You), has went to a doctor for one reason or another and after getting checked out for something they find a problem? Then after that problem gets checked out, they tell you that it's worse than they thought and they don't know how your feeling so good because you should be a lot worse off than how your feeling. In other words, your condition 'should be' so bad that you shouldn't be able to function normally, but by some miracle your life goes on pretty much like normal.

I hear this waaaayyyyyyy too often. I lost count of the times I've heard people tell Me about a health problem they've had, and went to go get it checked out, only to have the doctors say "It's a miracle how well your doing!!" "I've never seen anyone get around as well as you with this condition!" "You should be in tremendous pain with the shape of your (whatever organ) is in!" "I've done a lot of surgeries on (whatever organ), and everyone who's (organ) is in this shape is normally in a wheelchair by now."

Now ... either I constantly hear 'the best' stories from the most 'amazing patients' in the world, OR, these doctors are full of crap! I honestly think that if you go to get your medical degree, in whatever field it's in, the very last day of school is dedicated to 'How to tell your patients they have beaten the odds'. In other words, how to tell them that you've NEVER seen anybody do as well as they have. I don't know why they do this? It's a nice concept if you hear it once, but after hearing the same patter over and over with a bunch of different people it starts to get a little suspicious.

We're all suppose to walk around thinking that each and every one of us is a 'one in a million miracle'!! It's like doctors are trying to sell an infomercial product or something! Just ONCE I'd like to hear a doctor say, "I've done 1000's of these surgeries and this one was the worse case I've ever seen .. and He died!" That's terrible .. I know, but it's better than the stupid story you hear every other time, which is "I've done 1000's of these surgeries and this one was the worse case I've ever seen .. but by nothing short of a MIRACLE, He pulled through!!" Because IF that many people barely pull through all the time ...... it's NOT a miracle, it's just human nature!

So doctors, quit pulling the wool over our eyes and trying to make us feel like we're all 'one in a million miracles', I think We'd all be much happier just hearing the truth .. no matter how grim it is. AMEN.

Todays RBV: Rebelation 6:4 And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.

This is one of the 'end time' prophecies that is predicted. I'm just wondering how we'll know when this starts to happen, as it's already happening now, and in fact, has ALWAYS been happening.

Diseases

I'm sick of all the fake diseases in the world today. Everyone's got some disease, and if you ain't got one ... then wait. Soon the medical field will find one for you and make a pill for it. It's all such bull shit people, any ache or pain isn't an ache or pain these days, it's a disease, or a syndrome. I say let me smack you upside the face with a baseball bat a few dozen times THEN you'll have something to go to the doctor about. He might even diagnose you with Lou Gehrig disease (get it?).

Restless leg syndrome ...... a pill for restless leg syndrome. What in God's name is restless leg syndrome. I think it used to be called a twitch, or a spasm. Now it's a damn disease that you need a pill for. How about that Lunesta crap for getting a full 8 hours rest. I say WORK a little bit and you naturally get tired, THEN your body will appreciate a full nights rest. Sorry, sitting in a cubicle for 8 hours is not included in the "WORK" category.

Irritable bowel syndrome, that sound like a fancy way to say "I got a problem taking a shit." and I'm sure there's a pill for it.

Suck it up people, a little pain is good for you. It puts hair on your chest. And if your a woman, it makes your boobs bigger. Quit whining about anything and everything and deal with it. Stop making other people rich on invented crap that's made up just to benefit the medical field.

A coma, now there's something you might want to see a physician about. How about uncontrollably shitting your pants during church? You may need something for that. Or excessive heart attacks while driving a semi down the freeway, you may need to talk to a nurse about this on. Fractured testicle syndrome, that's another good one. Now THESE are things you may need a pill for!!!

Yup, selling sickness is one profitable business to be in.

I have a few "new" diseases that I would like to introduce to the medical field that might help them create another pill and get even richer.

R.O.S.S. Disease - A very serious disorder. ROSS (Random Organ Shutdown Syndrome) disease causes your body to randomly shut down organs in your body for no specific reason. You may be walking down the street and one of your lungs might quit working for awhile. Or driving down the road and you lower intestine my fail on you. How about running a marathon and your uvula quits on you. Well this is what could happen to you if you don't get a pill for ROSS disease.

Testitch - have you ever had the unstoppable ability to scratch your balls? You may be plagued with testitch disease. See your doctor and ask him if testitch medication is right for you.

Vagismell - Got that not so fresh feeling? Do people avoid you when your walking down the street? Do you find yourself alone in the elevator? You may have vagismell. Ask your doctor if you can get a prescription for vagismell (now available in spray or adhesive strips).

Well I'm starting to cross the line a bit now so I guess I'll quit. Hate to offend anyone .. ha ha ha!


Todays RBV:

Genesis 5:5&8 And all the days that Adam live were nine hundred and thirty years; and he died. And all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years; and he died.


HOLY CRAP 900 years old !!!! AND NO PILLS ??? How did they do it ?
