Equation of the day

Elevated from a comment box, from TechnoBabe:

(Scripture + Tradition + Reason) – Scripture – Tradition = Secular Humanism

I think we should call this the Griswoldian Transform, in honor of one of its chief practitioners, though it seems to be a general solution that applies to almost any mainline protestant body, to that large subgroup of western Catholics doped with β€œThe Spirit of Vatican II,”  and to subpopulations of many other denominational bodies.  Susceptible populations appear to be strangely skewed, increasing both from south to north and from east to west.  Research is recommended to determine if these trends are correlated with anomalies in the geomagnetic field.
