Any Idiot can do Religion

(2)

That is my theory. I claim that it is a scientific theory because it can be tested. Will Katrina hit northern Mexico? If not then my theory is kaput. That is the test.

'Not so fast,' you say? 'Even if Katrina hits northern Mexico it doesn't prove shit?'

You are correct. But in any case my theory has passed its first test successfully.

'Nonsense!' you say? 'Suppose Katrina hits Mobile at category 5.' Does that not blow your stupid theory?

My reply is that the theory is still viable based on a number of variables and at least one fact: Alabama has much less coastline than the other states mentioned.

And the arguments would go on and on. There would be polls taken of Pat Robertson's followers in the states involved and other states. There would be measurements of 'relative praying strength' based on such critera as how tightly the pray-ers held hands during prayer, and whether their eyes were tightly shut at the time and whether their teeth were clenched.

And I could go on and on but you get the idea: any idiot can do religion but it takes a lot of hard work to do science.
