*snort* And I can't help but thinking he's either a fan of the "watchmaker God" belief system or that his theology is full of holes. :D

There's a kind of mild blurring there between the Catholic tendency to refer to all non-Christians/Jews as pagans, and the way some Wiccans claim "Pagan" as basically meaning Wicca, which I find a bot bothersome because it's disrespectful to Classical pagans, Asatru, and other flavours of contemporary self-identified pagan.

:: Snerks:: Glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks that, re: Calvinists
And yeah, I get aggravated with that too, though I want to think the term used was Pagan with a capital P, which generally is applied to modern followers of earth-based religion(s).

I'm at work, where our only patient, Lucky the Cat, is currently getting quietly drunk thanks to 4mLs per hour of a Vodka solution. See, he drank antifreeze. The easiest, most cost-effective, and just plain effective, solution is to give the body something it would rather digest than ethylene glycol (antifreeze). So you give it ethyl alcohol. The body parties it up with the ethyl alcohol, and meanwhile the kidneys slowly start to process out the ethylene glycol which is just hanging around like a wallflower, waiting for somebody to notice it but everybody's hanging out with the liquor.
True story.

My cat's name is Sachi...which is Japanese for Lucky...because as a kitten, before we got her, she should have died several times ( a week old with pneumonia, stuff like that)

Do NOT taunt the writer. He's currently finishing a series that started on an argument that said a good writer couldn't do anything with pokemon and a lost roman legion.
I'd rather see the science fiction series he wants to do, than him get the idea for a Mary Sue series.
