Religiots!

It's been a couple months since I've posted anything, and it feels like forever. I intend to start adding stuff to the blog regularily again, lately I've been unable to do so due to medical issues.

I've been fighting cancer, actually. Testicular cancer. It's not the kind of thing that you want to start making funeral arrangements over - 99% of the time it's treatable - but it was still a stressful time.

Throughout the entire ordeal, I've had numerous people say things like
"Thank God it wasn't worse!"
or...
"Someone's looking out for you!"
I've always just laughed and nodded, said something like
"Yeah, I guess so."
These people are trying to offer sympathy or condolences, you can't go on telling them
"Actually, you can't evaluate the existence of God on a case-by-case basis, what about the thousands of people who die from cancer every year?"
No, you can't tell them that. That would be rude.

That's it for now, but I'll be posting on a weekly basis again from here on out.
(For real this time.)
