Sometimes a story comes along that’s such a perfect metaphor it’s almost hard to believe. 50 people go blind because they were looking for a virgin mary in the sun!? Seriously? It’s too good. My interpretation would be that looking for god in the wrong places leads to blindness. Which may, ironically, lead to sight. Do you think some of those people will learn the error of their ways? I hope so. Or maybe the sun-staring gave them some kind of religious experience that they now credit to their Christian God. Either way I now know how to defeat religious people. Just tell them you saw Mary on a military test range. Tell them you saw Mary in Iraq! No, we’ve done enough to the Iraqis. Anyway, who knew religious people were so stupid and gullible? I guess I should have realized, the signs have been around for a while.
