Honestly Simon, if you took one set of tarot cards and did hideous disrespectful things to them
I couldn’t help but be reminded of the time PZ Meyers desecrated a communion wafer (the person who obtained it had already received threats from outraged Catholics). Interestingly, half of the outraged comments regarding the descration were actually accusations of *fraud* because they didn’t imagine someone could do such a thing and not be struck dead. PZ still breathed, therefore he couldn’t have hurt the cracker and must have been lying about doing so. It’s interesting how one’s worldview can affect the chain of inference.
(A satiric site once got it right…someone who didn’t realize the site was a satire tried to cite orbiting astronauts seeing the earth was round as evidence that it wasn’t flat, and the (fake) flat earther’s response was perfect; he claimed the astronauts couldn’t possibly have actually gone up or they’d have seen he was right.)
