Like when I open my mouth and begin eating.

After hearing the story of the chicken fixing food for her chicks, and how the other farm animals didn't help but hoped to get some food anyway, it bothered me that we'd be expected to thank god for our food three times a day. I was always told it was because he started everything, but it still seems odd. You'd think any sane person would get tired of hearing billions of people thank him three times a day for 3,000 years and going.

We do. We use the classic "god is good, . . . and we thank him for our food." It's been a matter of some discussion. We've decided it's a useful device. What we mean by it is:

1. We are glad to be together.

2. Table manners are required from this point forward.

3. All talk should be general to the whole table until we're finished.

4. Children should stay put until excused.
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.

Get the table to become somber with clasped hands and bowed heads; then exlaim "Fuck it, let's eat!".
