Short Form

A Mist of Holy Water Never Hurt Anyone

or For When Love and Respect Aren’t Enough

Points to be made:

  1. Don’t spray me with things. In general.
  2. Know what? I get it.
  3. The ‘enjoy eternal bliss while I suffer’ angle. I shouldn’t say it.
  4. The incomputational audacity of personifying deities.
  5. The universal insurance system, in case anything is as it seems — or as it doesn’t seem. Either way!

For those we deem misguided, should we pray?

This is all.
