When the deputy opened the last closed door, she smelled “decaying matter” and noticed something piled on what appeared to be a toilet.

When you gotta go, you gotta go. She went, and never came back.

Meanwhile, God released a statement: "They believed that prayer would reanimate the corpse? Good me, that's just stupid."

Trust me, I speak from experience when I tell you that once they've been dead for a few weeks, you don't want them coming back to life.

Werd.

@2,

Clearly these people have never watched a zombie/mummy slasher flick.

Y'know, much as I miss him, I don't think I'd want my Terry coming back now. I think he'd smell pretty bad.

Dan, is there a link to the full news story available? And in case you missed it in the other post, thanks for the condolences. It means a lot.

Remember that great quote from Alfred Hitchcock:

"If the dead were to come back,
What would you do with them?"

I do!

No no, Sheriff, she just really got a problem with her bowels, she'll be up and about in no time!

I would have run away from home, and trust me, I would have NO intention of letting my mother handle the "funeral" plans. Urk.

Speaking of religion, I can't wait to hear Hagee explain how the tornadoes were God's punishment against the people of Missouri and Oklahoma. Funny how it never works that way though.

@13, Touche...Fuck all the preachers who declare that natural disasters are caused by sinners. They should be struck down by God.

Isn't it funny how some of these religious types give up their common sense whenever "God" is mentioned. There must be an explanation for this like it's some sort of adaptation for survival of the species. It would seem counter to that, but a kind of hypnosis that people fall under.

If there really was a God, He sure as shit would have smitten Savage years ago.

@15 The mechanism you describe can convince people to stop behaving in their own self interest, which can be good in situations where what's best for the individual conflicts with what's best for the society. So there's your survival-of-the-fittest-ideology explanation.

Of course, it can also convince people to do batshit insane things that are in nobody's best interest, as this article attests.

Possibly, assuming that God is young, hairless, and fairly androgynous.

Angry, Old Testament God would have just smote him.

I guess she wasn't high enough level, that or she didn't have 2,000 gold worth of diamonds.
