"Craig can't entirely help himself, being a Gemini," Hitchens said. "Geminis are always very skeptical and destined to feel pain throughout life as a result of their closed-mindedness. If you try to introduce Craig to anything even remotely made-up, he starts going off about 'evidence this' and 'proof that.' If only the poor man were open-minded enough to stop attacking everything with his brain and just once look into his heart, he'd find all the proof he needed. But, sadly, he's unable to let even a little bit of imagination drive his core beliefs."
LOL!

Lmao!

"Don't get me wrong�logic and reason have their place," Brand said. "But Craig fails to recognize the danger of going too far with medical common sense..."

Scientology has the potential to free humanity from the crippling yoke of common sense

"I admit, science might be great for curing diseases, exploring space, cataloguing the natural phenomena of our world, saving endangered species, extending the human lifespan, and enriching the quality of that life," Eddy said. "But at the end of the day, science has nothing to tell us about the human soul, and that's a critical thing Craig is missing. I would hate for his soul to be lost forever because of a stubborn doubt over the actual existence and nature of that soul."
How do you top that? Great stuff.

Hey, I'm a Gemini too! That's me in 20 years (if I stay in this god-addled country)!

Okay, hopefully we had a smile. I'll ship this off to Humour now.

Very funny.

Funny stuff belongs in Humor, though.
