Religion is a science ... Back in the day.




My dad insisted on going to the Roman Catholic Latin Mass.
He was also having an affair with Thelma Orenstein.
And he was very stingy about the girls sex life, but not mine.

"God is the origin of everything." dad said to me.
He was driving back from church and I was on the back seat between my sisters.
They did not say anything in response.

I said, "What caused God?"
The station wag swerved as dad did not expect a response.
Dad looked at me and then back at the road, "God always is."

He then looked at mom, who was smiling like Monalisa.
"Where did Jesus go after his assentation?" I queried.
Dad looked at me again and then over to mom...

She smiled, "Back to God."
"In the clouds?" I queried.
She smiled and looked at me, "Yes."

"How do you know?" I pressed on.
My sisters were wide eyed and squeezed up against me.
Mom was toothy smiled now, "Faith."

Is that Science?

Just my opinion.
