But he takes a whopping shit in too many minds. That's worse than the carpet.

And it is easier to clean up a carpet than a mind.

Dogs are like gods, in that a believer will hold them to the same level of responsibility for their actions.

I don't know... My cat's an asshole. Not a "If you don't believe in me you're totally going to hell" type of asshole, but a "feed me, fuckface!" type of asshole. Still an asshole, though.

I have never been sitting there, bummed out, depressed, and had a deity come up to me and snuggle its little furry face into my arm or jump on my lap and purr

Don't worry, my friend.  If this be the end, then so shall it be.

I choose to ignore him because I want to sin and be a rebel. Isn't that what every Atheist does?

I think the bond between a human and an animal is a beautiful thing. Everything is through actions not words. I can love an animal unconditionally, something I could never offer to any human. And they can love me unconditionally. It makes me feel so special every time my dog greets me, even if I've only been to the toilet I get a royal parade Smile

Animals are one of the things that keep me going in life. You can keep your stinking gods.
