Lessons from nature cover the scope of the human experience. Using the tried and trued model of expansion in the botfly population, Christianity has honed its craft using unsuspecting children and the unprepared masses to deal its bidding.
If you are not familiar, the human botfly proliferates by capturing a mosquito, laying its eggs on the mosquito, then turns it loose. This little messenger then takes the eggs, and finds an unsuspecting human to suck blood from. As the vampirical transaction is taking place, the botfly eggs are injected into the skin. The mosquito isn’t even aware of the damage she is causing, but is carrying a painful and disturbing parasite that will change your very life.
The first clue to the new convert that religion is a bogus and unproven tool, is your prayers offered to remove the botfly will be lost in the space-time continuum, and medical treatment will be required. Prayers to the Doctor! Amen. Trust your instinct.
That last picture — eek!

Oh ye of little faith! I was just watching the awesome power of God on display during the 2017 “Miracles on the Mountain” meeting with Pastor Billy Burke. A man got out of his wheelchair, a woman was cured of her back pain, another woman was cured of the ringing in her ears after putting in her offering, a third had her kidney ailment healed for the umpteenth time, and on an on it went. You can’t explain that!

I would not, could not, even try, to pray away one single botfly. But healed to walk, curing cancers woo, is made for tv, and YouTube too.

Understood! I just find it amusing how some will argue that “God is not a PEZ dispenser” and claim the miracles of the apostolic age have ended, while another faction swears that God still dispenses such favors. 🙂

We could get 80 million Christians to pray and try to regrow a limb and settle this once and for all. He did help me find my contact lens once with the help of 27 math students. God is great.

Should be an easy request to fulfill given a number of species already possess regenerative capabilities.

Benny Hinn’s “special gift” is growing wealthy. He magically turns miracle water and faith healing into private mansions and jets.

So what happens if the botfly larva isn’t removed? Does the human grow wings and antennae? 😨

What happens if the botfly larva isn’t removed? It’s horrific. Your mind turns to mush and you become a raving Christian comedian/apologist.

I call it the Monotheistic Filter. It sits in everyone’s mind silently until they challenge it. The Filter fights to keep the belief in one of the Monotheistic Religions strong.

Religion is a parasite upon humanity. That makes this an apt comparison.
