Out of the F@&$# Blue

So I started reading "The God Delusion" by Richard Dawkins not too long ago, and I just can't put it down. Richard Dawkins says everything I've always wanted to say, but in a much more eloquent (A.K.A. "British and intelligent") way.

Having never been in this situation, I find myself a little speechless as well.

I normally wouldn't write about this, especially since the situation has nothing to do with my original post. Except it does.

This patient was in good condition, had no issues that the nurse said he voiced (she was bawling afterward, saying "He never complained of anything"), and ironically said his family came regularly to pray with him for a safe recovery.

I'll have to return to what I was originally posting about at a later time.
