"It's All in God's Hands. What Can I Do?"

I read this on Twitter:

"Its by the Grace of God that I have what I have! & its by the Grace of God that you have what you have! Its by His Grace & His Grace alone!"

Punctuation problems aside (What is it with people and apostrophes?), this is stupid.

By this illogic, I should just quit my job and wait for God to bestow a windfall of on me. I have no responsibilities or obligations. I'm just a spiritual jellyfish, floating on the generosity of the great bearded guy in the sky.

If this is true, then God only sorta likes me, 'cause I don't have that much. And he must really hate poor people. Why else would they have so little?

This is nihilistic, fatalistic, moronic dogma.

What really kills me: I see this shit from the same people who post quotes from Ayn Rand.

NEWSFLASH: You cannot be a fatalistic pre-determination Christiamoton and a rugged individualist at the same time! These two ways of thinking are mutually exclusive. No wonder you sound so confused. You are confused.

If you're gonna be a sheep, be a sheep. If you're gonna be a self-sufficient, responsible adult human, be that. You cannot be both. Unless you're that weird sheep-man in that political ad. He may be both.

Why Would Anyone Want to Bring Marie Antoinette Back from the Dead?

I know PigeonPoll is stupid anyway, but this just caught my attention. The poll question: Who would you want to bring back from the dead? Most of the options were musical performers, Elvis, Janis Joplin, etc. But one option was Marie Antoinette.

Marie Antoinette? Who the fuck would want to bring back Marie Antoinette?

First, we probably wouldn't be able to communicate because her dialect of French would be difficult to understand (I'm guessing).

Second, what a spoiled bitch! Let them eat cake?

And finally, how many Americans even know who the hell she is?

Come on, PigeonPoll. Give us some real options. I didn't even see Michael Jackson on the list!

(Though, on the up side - we could land a rescue helicopter on her foreheadscape.)
