Before christmas
I was invited by a colleague to attend a 'ladies lunch' at the local Southern Baptist church. Despite my atheism, I went along - it never hurts to try something new*, and there's not much else to do in the Deep South of the USA.

Imagine my surprise when the speaker told us 'then the angel Gabriel came upon Mary, and Lo, she was with child'. And later 'grab hold of God's piece!'.

It made me look at Christians in a whole new light.


*ok, so covering a watermelon in shards of glass and then trying to insert it in your anus may hurt, but most new experiences do not actually hurt.
