Yeah... a friend of a friend (yes, really) was nearly scammed by a "Traditional Chinese medicine" practitioner who claimed he could heal her lower back problem by inserting his fingers into her vagina and anus. She was seriously considering going through the "treatment" until the people she knew got her to realize what was going on.

I post this because I do get tired of the "If you don't believe in a god, then that will lead to communism".

There are no boarders that prevent humans from believing stupid shit or conning others into doing stupid shit.

If anything China's communist party has more in common with the God/s of Abraham than any secular westernized government.

BOTH are worshiped, and demand blind loyalty. You cannot dissent. You are not ruled through consent but governed by appeal to absolute authority.

"Haunted Vagina" would be a great name for a band.

"Faster Pussycat" was a band, and their name came from a real "B" movie made in the 60s. I actually watched that movie cause the chicks in it were hot, but today, not so much.

I'm just going to leave this here:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traditiona ... e_medicine (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traditional_chinese_medicine)

Lots and lots of superstitions.
