One of the themes of most religions is that if you don't continuously do
illogical things to appease the old man of your particular fantasy
system...well, you are deprived of essential life giving elements.
Most notably you are condemned to starvation. Either that, or getting
crushed or drowned.
Yet so far, no deity has attempted to use OXYGEN DEPRIVATION as a means of
punishing the sinful. No major religion that I know of prays for a
continuous supply of air. Nor has there been any sort of mythical calamity
whereupon vaccuum was wreaked upon the unfaithed.
What is it about people who hold such fantasies dear that they never
conceived of the MOST OBVIOUS providential deprivation imaginable? I mean,
the One made us, so he should know that we need AIR, WATER, FOOD in that
particular order...yet it's usually #3 where punishment begins.
Have I just deconstructed something essential about the spirituality of
mankind, or what?

there was a lake in Africa that, for some subterranean reason best left
to geologists, decided to emit a huge cloud of C02. something to do with
the limestone caves underneath the lake. it suffocated thousands of
people and animals. okay, it's not a vacuum. i'm doing my best.

Too bad there isn't more limestone under the Bible Belt. It'd give the
country more of a fighting chance and we'd have a lot fewer UFO
abductions.
