Via Paleojudaica, an article about how the famous Jerusalem Syndrome is on the decline:
Katz distinguishes two types of illness: One where seemingly normal people arrive in the city and undergo a sort of religious conversion, whereby they actually become a biblical figure. Most of these persons are Pentecostals from rural regions in the USA and Scandinavia [??]. One one occasion, Katz says, he had three Virgins Mary at once sharing a single room.
That must have made for some interesting conversation.
“He says that those most susceptible these days are extremely religious persons who are ninety-eight percent Christian.”
How are they measuring christian-ness? Christianity-by-volume?
Displaced Hallelujah-ions.
By christian-ness decayment. A christian emits holly subparticles at a rate determined by his purity; unless he is recharged weekly at the church (crackers?) this radioactivity decays near 0 in a few weeks.
Also, I don’t found that amazing the trinity of Virgin Mary.
Christianity by volume, or Christian-proof. In the UK, 98% Christianity by volume would be 171.5 Christian-proof (in the US that’s 196 Christianity-proof – they use 2:1, rather than the 7:4 of the UK).
Then again, anything linking Christianity and proof is probably bunkum.
A bunch of virgins….in one place? There’ll be no sex…..just a bunch of immaculate births. We’ll soon be over run with jesuses……as if we weren’t already.
If Snooki went to Jerusalem, would she suddenly think that she is a virgin?
Am I demented for thinking:
VIRGIN CAT FIGHTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MEOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(LOL!)
I’m just curious why fundies like to support abstinence only sexual education when it clearly did not work for their main man.
Somehow, I thought that link was going to show Sarah Palin and her knocked up kid….
Sasha Von D’artagnion Creighton Cierra McGriffon Bayne wont appear on camera these days. But Sarah is still quite visible in the lame stream media.
