Look beyond the cross
look into the eyes of crazy
smell the religion fear.

Well, my worst fears have been realized... the catholics have another pope. A catholic, no less. I'm disappointed in them, I was hoping that they'd elect a black atheist. O'well.

Actually, what they do doesn't bother me a bit. I have enjoyed laughing at all of their holy men and their assorted and sordid saints and other representatives of their... faith.

Yep, they're all nutzo, just as their bretheren protestants and jews and muslims.

The whole idea of a god is laughable, and then to pretend that one knows what this unknowable god *wants*? That's all laughable.

But eventually, of course, dominent religions (and phisosophies of different natures) start killing non-believers. "Suffer ye not a witch!" "Kill the infidels!" and similar cries will be heard in the killing fields....

Almost up to that point it's laughable.

I don't get much in the way of amusement out of it any more, though... bad times? Roll on in!

It took me a long time to get up this morning, I didn't have to go in until 08:00 and I knew that I had extra time.

The morning was hard, though, but we had a break at lunch and got to go to an educational meeting in radiotherapy... very informative and fun, even. They have some really neat technology over there that I wasn't aware of, new ways of treating cancer patients that really reduced the radiation to healthy tissue and more radiation to cancerous tissue.

And then this afternoon I had a superusers meeting 'til about 15:30... now the superusers have to train everyone else... befor next Tuesday, heh.

And next Tuesday and Wednesday I have to go in at 06:00 for the changeover to a software upgrade.

I finally got my site map made so I can get the garage started... need to take it down to city hall tomorrow and get the permits started. I fear this will be a long process.

But a worthwhile one.
