Probably God got confused because there's not such thing as a kudo Wink

Ah, but with God anything is possible. Even a kudo.

If God can drop a universe, he can surely drop an 's'. I'll get Drich and GC on it ASAP.

From Joseph Campbell, of Hero with a Thousand Faces fame:

Quote:Give me that old time religion
Give me that old time religion
Give me that old time religion
It's good enough for me

Let us worship Zarathustra
Just the way we used to
I'm a Zarathustra booster
He's good enough for me

Let us worship Aphrodite
She's beautiful but flighty
She doesn't wear a nightie
But she's good enough for me

Ya know...you tried that with dr. Fuzzy months ago and all it did was devolve into mudslinging.  What's happened to you EP?  Getting bored again?

EP simply gets jealous when others gets things he doesn't get, no matter how trivial.

What's wrong with believing in something unprovable that you can just feel in your heart?

It depends on what it is and where it leads.

You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.
-- Homer Simpson

God has no place within these walls, just as facts have no place within organized religion.
-- Superintendent Chalmers

Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends. There are some things we don't want to know. Important things.
-- Ned Flanders

Once something's been approved by the government, it's no longer immoral.
-- The Rev Lovejoy

Absolutely nothing.  Until you start trying to convince others to believe the same thing.  Then you have to provide good solid reasons why - proof and data, not feelings or verses from a book.

Hearts pump blood; they don't harbor feelings.

That said: nothing. Just don't try to push it on anyone else Smile
