Gary "Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree..... yeah, makes perfect sense."

I would most definately call it that, as well as emotional transference and a few other things. BTW, seriously, thanks for the 10 buck coupon. I have new speakers.
