We give each other a wide berth even if we have the flu, let alone. . . So, I think that's part of the stigma that people who have diseases suffer. It's almost infectious. . . if somebody is closer to death, they're almost a bad omen and I think that's terrible.
I have no use for the kind of God who goes walking in his garden with a stick, sends his friends to live in the bellies of whales, gives up the ghost with a groan and then comes back to life three days later!
