On the surface level, it's funny.

But when you think about the implications -- One-True-Wayism, Christian terrorism, and the lack of any major distinction between Christian and Islamic extremism -- not so much. I wonder how many of the people who have been passing that photo around are supporters of the Iraq War and its projected expansion?

It's a reasonable point. But I've only shared it with people who are laughing at the nuns as much as at the suicide bombers. I think they're all wrong -- and wish there was an easy answer to defuse all of their extremes.

But then, black humor is about where I am at this point...serious medical and financial problems will do that to yea.

I really wonder what the origon of that picture is.

Here is the Convent of Our Lady of Perpetual Sorrows out for their marksmanship practice.


The Sister's of Mercy were ready to show none, after the news of the canceling of _The Singing Nun_.

I did wonder that, too -- and even Photoshopping occurred to me. They could have been holding up processional flags or something...
