Atheist

Has criticized both Jesus and the Church in the past as well.

Ever notice how these people all end up wrecked?

Stephen Hawking comes to mind immediately. He hated God. Ended up a fukkin vegetable in a wheelchair talking through a device in his throat.

Never blaspheme God, folks. Take a lesson.

That's good.

Shunt surgery is a common treatment option that diverts the excess cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the brain.

Got to be honest... Shunt surgery doesn't sound good.
