Ima Gonna Take A Hostage
Last Sunday, my brother anonymously said "The reference to (Lord) Buckley's "honest absence of faith" nudges me to say how annoyed I get when people shove their presence of faith in my face. Why are they so proud of their beliefs? Belief is easy, knowledge is hard. I think the faithless (a condition I aspire to) are far too easy on the faithful. If they don't start keeping it to themselves, Ima gonna take a hostage."
Apparently, he stomped on a Christian nerve...
Trio Accused of Gunpoint Prayer Session

ATHENS, Ala. - A woman and two roommates are accused of holding her brother at gunpoint as she prayed for his repentance, even firing a shot into the ceiling to keep his attention.
Randy Doss, 46, of Athens said he fled the house when his captors got distracted and later went to police, who were skeptical at first because his story was so bizarre. But police said it checked out, including the bullet hole in the ceiling.
"We found where they patched the hole with caulk," said Sgt. Trevor Harris.
Police said the sister, Tammie Lee Doss, 43, Donna Leigh Bianca, 37, and Ronald David Richie, 45, who live at the Athens house, were charged with unlawful imprisonment, a misdemeanor. The two women were also charged with menacing, a misdemeanor. All were released on bond.
Harris said Randy Doss went to the house about 7 p.m. on Labor Day and at some point got in an argument with the two women about religion. When they prayed for him, he laughed.
"They both got upset and pointed pistols at him," Harris said. "They wouldn't let him leave. Bianca fired one round in the ceiling in the hallway a few feet from the victim's head."
Harris said the women tried to get Doss to admit things he did as a child.
"She claims the brother wronged her years ago when they were kids and she just got the truth out of him and apparently wanted revenge," said Harris. "He says they would not let him go. The sister says she was just trying to scare her brother."
The three suspects denied they held Doss against his will.
"The door was never locked and he could have walked out that door any time he wanted to," the sister told the News-Courier of Athens. "We never held him against his will."
Harris said Richie did not have a weapon but is accused of blocking the door to keep Doss from fleeing.
Doss said he escaped the house about 1 a.m. Tuesday.
After much consideration, I feel that as profit (prophet, if you're a gun-totin', three-named Christian) for the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, I am inspired to make my third FSM Encycical (an infallible message to me directly from the Noodly Master, you pagan).
'Sacred' is just 'scared' with a transposition. Our pirate costumes shall not include real guns.
Go in peace.
Ramen.
