rock.

A black rock. A meteorite.

I saw an interview (maybe it was in "Religulous&quot where a cleric was asked about this ....fucking rock....and declared it was from god, delivered from heaven.

"It's a meteorite, isn't it?" (yes, of course it is)

"No, it is from god" (or something to that effect)

Yup....like many parts of the various Abrahamic faiths that revere dopey items easily explained by modern science, this one reveres a fucking naturally occurring rock that fell from space.

IT'S A GOD DAMNED METEORITE, for fucks sake.

Islam, proudly joining the 12th century.

(Sorry if some might think I am being intolerant, but I am A HERETIC I AM, and it's a damned meteorite, not a gift from Allah)
