Brain hurts now

Reading Chick Tracts can be amusing. Reading the articles on D&D that they have up on the site however . . .

It's sad when I'm a better Christian than most people who call themselves Christian are. It really is. Feed the hungry, clothe the naked, care for the sick, shelter the needy. It's even sadder when the character that I'm going to be playing this weekend is a better Christian than most.

Y'know, the cleric of sun, moon, and stars that loves without condition, heals, comforts, tithes to churches that aid the needy, forgives, and who spends much more time practicing her beliefs than preaching them.

But, in the popular 'Christian' worldview she also pays homage to more than one god, has a female lover, and is a sorcerer in addition to being a cleric. In the popular 'Christian' worldview, I am pagan, bisexual, and have two husbands.

-sigh- My polypantheistic D&D cleric3/sorcerer4/mystic wanderer2 should not be a better Christian than the outspoken majority of Christianity. Okay? The fact that she is means that there's a real problem here, folks.

Mood Power Surges

Okay, when they said 'you may experience some mood swings' in regards to the birth control pill that I've been on for the last month and a half, they lied through their teeth.

What they should have said was this: 'You have chosen to ride the emotional equivalent of Terror Mountain. You will start off at horny, swing up into homicidal, come back down through horny on your way to moody depression, with a sudden upswing back up into insanely cheerful, followed by jagged swings up and down from horny enough to contemplate the stickshift of your car all the way to sudden crying fits and hysteria. There will be the occasional detour through extreme apathy, boredom, and bouts of restlesness just to keep your intrest during the ride.'

Seriously. I'd love to be able to hold onto an emotional state for longer than an hour at most. The insert said the worst side-effects were in the first three months, and that most side-effects go away completely after the first six.
