Personality Test: Are you a Cat or a Dog?

Personality Test: Are you a Cat or a Dog?
Christopher Hitchens (I just happen to be reading his work. No particular reason. Didn't have anything else to do.) tells us that if you give a dog food, water, shelter and affection, it will think that you are god. If you give a cat food, water, shelter and affection, it will think that it is god.

How do you respond when others provide things for you? Are you grateful like a dog? Indifferent like a cat? Think about it. We all know what the anser should be but when you take an honest look at yourself, how do you tend to respond?
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

I may defend your right to free speech, but i won't help you pass out flyers.

Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.

Children begin as dogs and become cats during adolescence.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

I'm a bear. Wake me while I'm sleeping and I'mma FUCK YOU UP.

"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.

Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.

Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.

Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.

Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."

That myth predates Hitchens by at least centuries.

I would be neither, since I wouldn't think someone giving me all of the above to be a god. At the same time I wouldn't be under the delusion of being a god.

Quote:Christopher Hitchens tells us that if you give a dog food, water, shelter and affection, it will think that you are god. If you give a cat food, water, shelter and affection, it will think that it is god.

Sounds suspiciously like a Twain quote: 'Every man who has a dog to worship him should have a cat to ignore him.'

I don't fit into either category, really. I've always though of myself as a slightly disheveled hedgehog. Not overly neat, pretty quiet, but I can be prickly of handed incorrectly.

Twain, yes. Now there's a master.

I've seen you get prickly with some of out more insipid theist around here. You are a master, too. A subtle one.

I suppose I am more like a dog than a cat. When people treat me well I am grateful, rather than assuming that I simply deserve such treatment.

RE: Personality Test: Are you a Cat or a Dog?
No, we don't know what the answer should be - I'm assuming you mean we should be like dogs. I think neither is "the right answer" - there is no such thing.

I'm a cat. Definitely.

I've heard Hitchens talk about this in one of his talks, I think. Humorous thing, really.

I think it comes down to how you were raised.

Personally I'm overly grateful whenever someone helps me.
