Jesus, that spanking hurts!

Spanking model Adele Haze's blog includes this Christian Fundamentalist story-for-children: apparently getting sick is being spanked by Jesus:

But sometimes if we're really being bad or foolish and doing things we know are wrong, the Lord may take away His protection and let us get hurt or sick as punishment for being so naughty.

Sometimes that's why we get sick, because the Lord is spanking us for being naughty. When we're sick we should pray and ask the Lord why.

"Dear Lord, why am I sick?"

"It's because you didn't tidy your room like Mommy told you to."

"So, nothing to do with me eating food contaminated with Salmonella then?"



Hundreds of years after the invention of the scientific method, more than a century after the discovery of bacteria, and god-botherers are still pushing the ancient superstition that disease is a divine judgment. Makes you proud to be Homo sap, don't it?
