Allah, Homeopathy, and Christ.

Allah, Homeopathy, and Christ.

A few weeks ago I saw this article on line and started to read it. My attention was diverted by this picture next to it which caught my eye.

I was astonished by the ad on the bus. Here is how it goes, from left to right, but even when read from right to left, the effect is the same:

Allah, Bigfoot, UFOS, Homeopathy, Zues, Psychics, Christ

Like, OMG! (Oh, my God)

Homeopathy is smack in the middle – anchored by Allah on one side, and Christ on the other! Now I find that rather COOL. Look at the level to which homeopathy is recognized as being elevated to: Our system of medicine is right up with there with the Big Boys.

That this group, the Centre for Inquiry – skeptics and humanists – elevated homeopathy on the same plane as the messiah of 2.1 billion people and the prophet of 1.57 billion people puts homeopathy in pretty good company, don’t you think?

Here is the thing – it takes a lot of money to create an advertising campaign on buses…..who do you think is helping to fund it? *
