Joe...rather than respond to your question about the perils of self abuse in the Christian church, I would like to offer some free advice to Christians as a whole.

Christians! Don't!

This dangerous, addictive and mind-altering practise isn't big and clever! I know there's a lot of pressure from your friends to 'sip of the life blood' but just imagine what sort of world we'd live in if everyone believed in the Baby Jesus, the tooth fairy, Father Christmas and Golum! It'd be like Florida. For pity's sake stop this destructive worship right now and get a life. You know it makes sense!

In the meantime...here's this week's Scrag End for your enjoyment.
