They know god is about to speak to them when they feel the urge to put on diapers and suck their thumbs.

On a similar line I always loved this quote.

Quote:It may be that ministers really think that their prayers do good and it may be that frogs imagine that their croaking brings spring.

We're keeping score now!

Can't a reply be both earnest and mocking?Thinking

I always found this an odd saying.

What else are you supposed to do with cake?

Thinking

It means you can not have your cake (and admire it) and also eat it (thus destroying the art work that goes into sculpting it)

If you don't eat it, it goes stale.

Not every cake is a work of art.

Who wants to look at cakes anyway?

The saying is actually, "You can't eat your cake and have it, too." It actually makes sense that way.

And yet he deserves all of the praise but none of the blame for his actions?

You can't have your cake and eat it fr0d0.

That would be a major fail for you WC. Sadly I can't be so dishonest.
