Oops! I Guess It Was God's Day Off.
...or, all you believers out there...was this "god's will"? Can't have it both ways, now can you? I particularly love the one -- and I believe Goddyss pointed it out to me -- where the little Florida girl who got raped and buried thanked god for not letting her die. Well, if that's god's doing, he's kind of a nasty mofo, huh? "Okay on the rape...nix on the snuffing. Next!"
(In case you can't read the sign, it says: "Butch, My Intelligent, Happy Boy. Do You Like Your New Life In Heaven? At Least, There Nobody Can Poison You Twice. We Miss You, Butch!")
Actually, dogs don't go to heaven, according to the Christian rules that I've heard (even though there was a cartoon movie which says they all do). Another example of having it both ways!

Amy,
This story should get your godless panties in a twist.

You're quite right.

Why can't we just have a unified theory of religion? Examine what makes sense, and throw out the rest and keep juggling ideas in that manner until it all comes together.
Dogs don't go to God, they are just regurgitated into a higher and higher life form (like humans) (ha ha I'm laughing) until they learn thier "lessons" and finally get to pass into the oneness of all creation. Even gnats will follow this path. Watch out! You may return as a slug if you don't live well in this life. Ok, that was sort of a quick synopsis of Hinduism. But I kind of like it cause it explains so much.... Heaven is becoming one with the universe. Hell is stepping back into a lower form. What I hate about Christians is the concept of original sin and everlasting damnation. Given the state of the world, that just ain't fair.

Next time someone asks you if you believe in God, ask him or her to describe God. That usually gets a stuttered response and a quickly executed "will you excuse me?"

Here is an interesting commentary on humanity: when you ask believers to describe god, quite often they will describe someone such as themselves without even realizing it. Lends a new spin to the part of the gnostic mass that states, "There is no part of me that is not of the gods!" hmmm...

I Find Signage Particularly Persuasive When It's Capitalized As In A Title.

That's interesting Goddyss- on ABC World News Tonight today they were reporting on "The God Diet", which is basically seeking divine guidance in the pursuit of losing weight. One of the side effects mentioned when successful was narcissism!
When I am asked to describe God, I generally describe Goddyss\Goddess with a strap-on.

I prefer the Fran Lebowitz High-Stress Diet. You get to burn calories by punching people in the face.

Yes, yes, Eric. Worship at the feet of the Goddyss. Like everyone else.

I'm not normally the submissive type, but I love the taste of champagne....

I'm sorry about Butch - but if his people had merely followed the advice of every ecology lab on the planet, he would not have been running loose, to be poisoned.

:blush: Why, Eric! What a sweet thing to say. Nice play on words...
