Make an Offering to God
January 10, 2012 at 7:32 am
Pascal's Wager is a crock but that doesn't mean we shouldn't gain ourselves some favour from at least one deity.
Gods have many representatives on Earth, they do some dodgy things, I'd like to make it easier for gods to control their minions.

That Cthulu sounds worrying, I'd like him/her to sleep as peacefully as possible.

So if you want to get yourself some favour send a god a gift, might be best to send them all of one, they are inclined to jealousy.

The gods are going to be pissed you couldn't even spring for the wii motion plus.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

Shoosh, they are old, they won't notice.
Religion is loosing it grip on people, if only gods listened and answered the occasional prayer they'd do much better. If only my prayers for the smiting of the demon Brussels sprouts had been answered, I may have been able to fabricate a faith.
So an ear trumpet so the old buggers can hear us.

I make an offering every morning, no god has taken me up on the offer...so I end up just flushing the toilet like usual. I suppose I could let it sit, in case gods like to take their time, but then my house would smell exactly like they sound..........
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
