Hahaha, oh man, that's awesome. "DESTROY THE LEAVENING AGENTS." You know, I realize it wasn't the intent, but you actually come across as a religious person yourself up there, what with the condemnation of worldly excesses that distract from the greater spiritual truths meant to be observed. :-)
Anyway, I think a lot of religious people would agree with you. It seems your real complaint is humanity's penchant for dogmatism, but that doesn't need religion to function (::cough:: The Hegemon ::cough::).
Well, I've got nothing. I go to a UU church, and I'm only a vegetarian unless I crave meat. I've already declared my intent to eat meat whenever I get pregnant. Take away my sushi, and there goes most of my protein.
As for the weather....that's what you get for living in Minnesota. :P Of course, I get tornadoes. Mostly just watches, but we had one solid warning that resulted in a room of terrified children and me trying not to look like I was having a panic attack. Speaking of having panic attacks in my classroom: I was in the middle of telling my students why "midget" is an offensive term when one little boy said, "Mrs. Kirby, there's a spider on you." My first instinct was to take off my clothes and run away screaming. Knowing their parents would frown on that, I just crouched down by his desk and said, "Kill it. That's right, hit me!" So I was slapped repeatedly by a 9-year-old, and he got a sticker. Yes, they get stickers for killing spiders in my class. Naturally.
