As this picture indicates, religious activists have made great strides into breaking into inter-species faith-based initiatives.
The success of evangelical animal activists, however, has magnified the widely held belief that cats are largely atheists.
The move into canine Christians may be a response to a recent poll showing that scientists polled at the National Academy of Sciences indicate that disbelief in God and immortality among biological scientists was 65.2% and 69.0%.
By tapping into other species, the numbers of practicing religious individuals would be exponentially increased, adding both political and social support. Some dog breed seem bred for the role like St. Bernards.
Of course, Tibetan Mastiff, Tibetan Spaniels, Tibetan Terriers tend to be Buddhist and Japanese Chins tend to be Shintos. However, Boston Terriers and Italian Greyhounds are uniformly Catholic.
Irish Setters, Irish Terriers, Irish Water Spaniels, and Irish Wolfhound remain divided between protestants and Catholics.
Scottish Terriers, English Bulldogs, English Foxhounds, English Cocker Spaniels, Shetland Sheepdogs, Welsh Springer Spaniels, Welsh Terriers, and Scottish Deerhounds have been claimed by the Anglican Church.
Pharaoh Hounds have been claimed by Muslims.
Hilarious!
Funny how some really sad people like to go through life insulting the religious beliefs of others.
PS: The dog picture was taken as the (old) pooch was attempting to work himself up onto the bed.
Still waiting for you to mock Islam…..I won’t hold my breath.
Just as in elementary school, the bullies always like to pick on the peaceful kids, not those that would take a baseball bat back at you.
My miniature schnauzer claims agnosticism, but I have it on good authority she is a reformed Lutheran. I have always felt porcupines have religious affiliation too. After all, aren’t most pricks evangelicals?
mespo, most pricks, as avidenced here, are atheists.
Funny how some really sad people like to go through life forcing their religious beliefs of others.
That goes for Christians and Muslim alike. Save your self-serving sanctimonious crap for church.
And get a sense of humor. It’s a cute and funny picture. Oh wait, that’s right. The first requirement of zealotry is that one abandon a sense of humor. Or any other kind of sense from what I can tell.
“He that is without sin among you let him cast the first stone at her.” John, 8:7
Your sin is excessive pride in your religion.
Hey all! Let’s have a MOCK ISLAM party here. Post your Muhammed jokes. Post your Aisha jokes. Post anything that mocks Islam….
lester:
Very pithy, and in keeping with the gravitas of most of your juvenile observations. Most people won’t trade priggishness for wit. Me neither!
By the way lester, I think Islam, like most religions, does a pretty fair job of mocking themselves–and each other.
budhha, Jesus instructed her to go and sin no more.
“No man, lord.” Jesus then said, “Neither do I condemn thee: go and sin no more.”
when you attempt to quote the bible for purely selfish reasons you look like a turkey:
According to the Gospel of John, the Pharisees, in an attempt to discredit Jesus, brought a woman charged with adultery before him. Then they reminded Jesus that adultery was punishable by stoning under Mosaic law and challenged him to judge the woman so that they might then accuse him of disobeying the law. Jesus thought for a moment and then replied, “He that is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone at her.” The people crowded around him were so touched by their own consciences that they departed. When Jesus found himself alone with the woman, he asked her who were her accusers. She replied, “No man, lord.” Jesus then said, “Neither do I condemn thee: go and sin no more.”
my goodness I think I found a rat hole of atheists at this blog.
Sometimes it pays to do a google search for “lunatic attorney blogs”.
What is ridiculous is a so called Professor of Law thinking it funny to bash Christians.
I did a short google search and it appears this Professor Turley is a real work, likes to hang out at left wing TV, sees himself as some kind of Constitution expert.
People like him are usually high on themselves when nobody else is.

Hey Lester, ya Turley is a real work of art. I have seen him on TV and he is the biggest do as I say, not as I do’er they have on that loser channel MSNBC.
He thrives around the 1 percenters. Now that his guy Obama is turning out to be more crooked and more of a liar every singl eday than GW Bush ever was on his single worst day they don’t know what to do.

“TEXAS NATIONAL GUARD ON ALERT”!!!!!
!!!!! State Senator Dan Patrick… “TEXAS NATIONAL GUARD ON ALERT”!!!!!
State Senator, Dan Patrick, was on the news this morning at 8:45am. He said he had some “breaking news to share”.
The Texas State Legislature had been trying very hard to get the Obama Administration to respond to a critical situation on the Texas Border. The Administration had not gotten back with Texas as of last night. So the State of Texas told Washington D.C. basically they could go jump, and “we’ll take care of Texas!”. As of last night… the Texas National Guard has been put on High Alert!!! This is the first time in history! Texas tried, desperately to get Washington’s approval… but when they could not get it… they acted on their own. Which I say…. it’s about damn time!!! I personally applaud the guts it took to defy the Fed’s and act in our best interest!
In case you are unaware of what the problems are …. Sen. Dan Patrick spelled it out nicely:
1) 100’s of Mexicans were blocking the entrance to the United States, yesterday and today, banging cars, shouting and holding signs. 10 people were killed Wed. and 12 more yesterday at the border (5 of which were children!!!)
2) They aren’t sure … but they think the Drug Cartel is paying the demonstrators to do what they’re doing.
3) This will spill over into the States! Mr. Patrick, and the other State officials,. are convinced that road-side bombs and car bombs will make it across the border and WILL NOT allow that to happen!!
4) Mexico is breaking out in Civil War in the western part of the border and they expect it to spread the entire border with no end in sight.
5) The National Guard will be activated as the scenario worsens and is on Alert now and will remain so until (and IF) Washington does something to end the danger on the border (Yeah… like that’s gonna happen!).
Lester,
So you think religious people don’t joke about religion? God wants you to be a sourpuss? Just try googling “rabbi, minister, priest.” Here’s one from a Jewish site:
One day, a minister, a priest and a rabbi went for a hike. It was very hot.
They were sweating and exhausted when they came upon a small lake. Since it was fairly secluded, they took off all their clothes and jumped in the water. Feeling refreshed, the trio decided to pick a few berries while enjoying their “freedom.” As they were crossing an open area, who should come along but a group of ladies from town. Unable to get to their clothes in time, the minister and the priest covered their privates and the rabbi covered his face while they ran for cover.
After the ladies had left and the men got their clothes back on, the minister and the priest asked the rabbi why he covered his face rather than his privates. The rabbi replied, “I don’t know about you, but in MY congregation, it’s my face they would recognize.
Even at Beliefnet they’re asking people to do their own version of the priest, rabbi, and minister go into a bar…….

I am amazed at the furor these alleged Christians show when they imagine that someone is mockng or making fun of their religion. It amazes me because the good Benedictine Nuns always taught me that Jesus told us to love their neighbor, without restrictions as to who that neighbor was or what his/her relition was, and to love your enemy(ies). The good Christian is supposed to act like Jesus would act and not to rant and rave and call people names who don’t believe what they believe. So sad to use Jesus’ name to defame and deride someone else’s beliefs. WWJD?
CCD,
I am with you on the Texas thing. We as a country would be better off if Texas was a separate country. Is it possible to offer an amendment to the Constitution to dissect Texas from the Union? Now that would be fun to see argued in Washington.
Lindy Lou,
Great joke! Very funny and very enlightening!
“The good Christian is supposed to act like Jesus would act and not to rant and rave and call people names who don’t believe what they believe.”
Ya, well, I think we are all tired of being “good Christians” and taking it in the face 24/7. We are very proud now of being “pretty good Christians” who don’t take it in the face 24/7 anymore from atheists.
Here, let me help you with that staggering ignorance and shallowness of thought.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deism
Most here are admitted deists, not atheists. And what a coincidence! Most of our Founding Fathers were deist too because they had witnessed the atrocities done in the name of the RCC and the Church of England’s perpetual pissing match.
You can’t even get your insults straight, Wayne.
You’ve staggered into a den of deists. We’re far better armed in argument than an atheist.
Dog bone,
Is that name a religious name? Once again, Jesus didn’t ask us to sometimes act like Christians, but to always act like he would act. You are either a Christian or you are not. Atheists aren’t your problem. Your actions are the problem. People who do not believe what you believe are not your enemies. And there is no war on Christianity, except in Bill O’Reilly’s mind and yours. As my boss would say, “Man Up” and stick to your beliefs but don’t claim that they are better than mine or any other beliefs.
Buddha,
our posts must have crossed. I agree wholeheartedly with your thoughts, but I am a little confused by the RCC term. To an old Chicago area resident, that stands for Royal Crown Cola so please explain.
Roman Catholic Church.
As a native Southerner, I do most assuredly get the Royal Crown reference, which I will call and raise you a Moon Pie.
Ouch! I just happened on this blog and can’t believe all the attacks over it! I once owned a bloodhound, and, believe me, you could never get one to pray, no matter what god they believed in. Maybe most of these folks own pitbulls. Oh, well, the picture speaks for itself — just a cute kid praying with his slobbery old hound who is hoping he can steal the kids candy.
Oh whoopee, more “The founding fathers were Deists” crap put out by……….Deists.
A deist is nothing more than a person who wants to believe in a God, but also wants to do whatever he feels like and wants to believe his God doesn’t care what he does.
Could wolves, forerunners of all dogs, be Zoroastrians?
No wait. They are of the Moon Pie.
If the founding fathers were Deists, then they were Christian Deists because they didn’t hide their love of Jesus Christ very well.
Consider that as Paine, Washington, Franklin, and Jefferson approached the end of their years, each handled their religious crisis in his own way.
Paine sought to explain and convince others of the principles his own religious beliefs. Washington gracefully accepted his role as a political leader; he set for others an example of resolute honor, Christian forbearance, and calm demeanor. Franklin approached his end with humble faith. And Jefferson scoured the Bible for something in which he could believe.
The malarky that our founding fathers were devoted Deists is as phony as a two headed coin.
Benji, Lassie, and Rin Tin Tin were Scientologists.
Scooby Doo believed in different dogma.
Beware of Clifford, The Big Red Dog.
The population of the colonies during the American Revolution was over 99% Christian, and the Founding Fathers were elected by this general population to represent them at the government level.
As representatives of the people, politicians, including professed, closet, or experimental “Deists,” respectfully worked within the general mindset of the people they represented.The vast majority of the colonists and the Founding Fathers were Christian, and saw the successful Revolution and formation of the United States as a blessing from God, and God as being very active in their personal, religious, and political lives.
Those who wish to promote the secularization of the United States often point to the writings of a few Founding Fathers in order to assert that the Founders were primarily Deists, rather than Christian, and that their original intent was to establish a secular nation. There is some evidence to suggest that some highly respected intellectuals and politicians of the day, including Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Thomas Paine, James Madison and Benjamin Franklin may have, at least at some points during their lives, been more Deistic than Biblical in their thinking.
Dogdamn, Dogbone!

This violence is on the way to the US and Mr. Turley objects to Americans arming themselves from this mob.
youtube.com/watch?v=gno6p49P0Cw
Those who wish to promote the secularization of the United States only need to point to one document: The Constitution of the United States of America.
If the United States was intended to be a “Christian Nation”, then the constitution is a miserable failure, as it leaves out any mention of God, Jesus and the Bible.
On the other hand, if the United States was intended to be a pluralistic, secular nation, the constitution works, what with all that Freedom of Religion jazz and no religious tests required for office holders.
You continue to prove logic and fact aren’t your strong points, Wayne. Your interpretation of the Founding Fathers in the face of their explicit intent to form a secular government is fundamentalist wishful thinking. God isn’t American, neither was Jesus. You consistently misuse the word “Christian” like it’s a uniform strata of thought. How very Fundamentalist of you. What the Founding Fathers did by drafting the Establishment Clause to was insure that none of the hugely varied Christians beliefs, be they RCC, CoE or any other religious belief for that matter, would not be able to assume control of government and mechanisms of State. Their stated positions were indeed based on what they had seen done in the name of religion in Europe. And those men you listed to a one went to their graves deists. They were products of the Age of Enlightenment. Well educated, unlike you. There weren’t fundamentalist in those days as you think of it, only the Puritans, who got kicked out of every country they ever went to for being aggressive and repressive killjoys bent on forcing themselves on others much like modern fundies. The Establishment Clause applies to them as well. Just as it applies to you and your retrograde idea of a “Christian nation”. Theocracy is a good idea, eh? Convert to Wahabist Islam and move to Saudi Arabia if you want to put your money where your mouth is, sport. Because the idea of this being a “Christian nation” is the propaganda of theocratic assholes like yourself.

“Philosophy is a walk on a slippery rock. Religion is a smile on a dog.”
— Edie Brickell
Does that mean rhetoric is a grope on a slippery slope?
“According to the Gospel of John, the Pharisees, in an attempt to discredit Jesus, brought a woman charged with adultery before him.”
Lester,
Too bad you’re not really as serious about your religious beliefs as you profess to be. Were you, you would know that although Jesus saying was spot on, the rest of it was unhistorical. The Gospel of John was probably the latest written of the Gospels, it was also the most anti-Jewish Gospel.
It reflected the fact that the Romans had sacked Jerusalem, destroyed the Temple and were displacing the Jews from Israel, so Judaism seemed doomed and being associated with them was bad for the nascent Christian Movement. More importantly though, the overwhelming majority of Jews rejected Jesus as the Son of God.
This made them angry since a big part of their belief was that Christianity was the successor to Judaism and in the process they had appropriated the Torah. That the Jews wouldn’t play along was an affront to them. The writer of John thus was angry with the Jews and did his best to cast them in a bad light. This was interesting since Jesus, his Apostles and his successor James (his brother)were all observant Jews.
The major inaccuracy of this passage though is that it would be Pharisees who were doing this. The Pharisees, historical record and writings prove this, were liberal interpreters of the Torah. The were known, in writings that pre-date Jesus by at least one hundred years to have been ingenious in finding ways around the harsher dictum’s of the Torah. They would not be in favor of stoning prostitutes. Beyond that though most of Jesus’ teachings, like the Golden Rule, were long term Pharisee teachings and it is almost certain that Jesus was a Pharisee Rabbi.
The reason this all had to be edited was that when the Roman hijacked Christianity to serve Constantine’s needs, they had to make the Pharisees look bad and divorce Jesus from them. This was because the Pharisees were the leaders of all the Jewish rebellions against Rome. It is highly probable that Jesus was a rebel leader and that as was put on his cross claimed to be King of the Jews based on Davidic ancestry. That was the real crime he was tried for because claiming to be the Jewish King without the Emperor’s approval was considered treason by the Romans.
By the way I’m not asking you to believe me, all of what I stated is readily available to read and make up your own mind about. I truthfully wish you well on your spiritual journey, but true faith is impossible without real knowledge of what that faith is based upon.
Four corner nab was run together as one word. (Spoken rapidly)
A nab was made by the Lance company: a round, chocolate cookie product and a cracker product which consisted of peanut butter between two orange colored, square crackers.
Thus a forcornernab as opposed to a nab.
This is early 50′s farm hand lingo from N.C. ‘crappin backer’ (cropping tobacco) days.
An R.C. Cola and a moon pie. A big orange and a forcornernab.

I don’t know if Lance was still making those in my days of snack crackers and RC, but they sure do sound good. Thanks! And I do love a Nehi.

“An Arkansas legislator has proposed letting voters decide whether to lift the state’s constitutional restrictions on atheists.

We can work around that crucifixion and resurrection stuff, and then we can build big ornate gilded buildings to pay you homage,and outfit them with gem-encrusted fixtures paid for with the alms and indulgences of poor widows we scare into believing their going to Hell because they ate hot dogs on Tuesday (a cardinal sin in our religion–venial, if you just eat them with ketchup) unless they do. I’ll start an order of neophytes to sing your praises, and then we’ll convince the poorest and least educated among us that you are descended from on-high aided only by a virgin, and that you, through the efforts of your infinite wisdom created the earth and the heavens, foretold all of the future, and franchised the first McDonalds Drive-ins. We’ll get you dazzling robes, a pointy hat, crooked stick , and you can wade through the crowds performing the magic tricks we saw on YouTube and amaze those who are amazed at just about anything (I’m thinking guys like “lester” or “dogbone” here.) Finally we’ll pack you off to heaven in a shiny gold limousine (repleat with a few veil wearing virgins)then we’ll tell everyone you ascended into the clouds (once we’re out of sight of all those gaping townsfolk from Georgia, of course),and you can get a job working at a Burger King in Minneapolis, where periodically, ladies fresh off another enlightening session of “Guiding Light,” can see you; breathlessly call the National Enquirer (or the Republican National Committee Office of Theocracy), and squeal about your divine sighting. It will be more than glorious, it’ll be divine,and then we’ll get followers like dogbone and lester to change history and then rail against the non-suckers who see right through us. We get lots of respect you know–after all, we are a religion!

I also trust no one here has been quietly sitting on their hands waiting for things to ‘happen’ and have been actively continuing to make their desires know to their respective state officials and organizations of choice in addition to the new administration.
How much of this apparent reluctance has to do with they way things are typically done at DOJ as opposed to outright agreement with Bush-era policy?
Professor,
Most humble apologies. Alas, I betrayed my own weakness and it was used against me. Mea culpa.
Dogbone:
why do you call yourself that? I think it was Buddha that stated you were a pr…ck. Is the dogbone handle refering to the actual bone in a dogs’ penis? if so Buddha would be correct.
The picture of the hound dog and the boy is very funny, I can just hear that ole hound dog joining in on evening prayers. Personally, if there is a heaven, I hope to see some of the dogs I have had over the years. In fact most dogs would earn a spot just for being a dog.
Also dogbone, I dont think we want to loose our heads over this religous humor stuff.

I believe the term I used was “boner”.

I read through that whole thing, and I’m still puzzled as to how Jt’s post was making fun of Christians.
“The success of evangelical animal activists, however, has magnified the widely held belief that cats are largely atheists.”
Well, if you equate morality with belief in God, then sure cats are atheist; since they are by nature bereft of morals.
Selfish bastards.

While we all respect your erudition it is shocking that you are unaware that Ayn Rand based Objectivism on her study of feline behavior. She believed that they were obviously examples of the the “ubermensch” which Nietzsche was alluding to. Of course they are atheists as Ayn observed.

My wife and I have my younger daughter’s 2 ten year old cats with us. They are good cats and brother and sister to boot. I love cats and dogs and I’m the guy who others pets all come to when I enter a room. The problem is that as much as my wife and I love these cats, we’re not really “pet” people. Here we are in our “golden years” and we can’t even spontaneously go away for a few days, without planning for them.
As nice as they are, they’re social and follow us room to room, their nature as cat though is vindictive if they don’t get the attention they want. My daughter lives in a place where she can’t have pets. So here I sit, stranded in paradise, and being awakened too early every morning to have to satiate their hunger. It’s hard being Jewish, with a Cross to Bear.
Mike,
I cannot deny a cat’s vindictive nature. When I go out of town, I have one with abandonment issues that is just glad to see me when I return. The other one? Well, let’s just say that “getting the cat butt” is a phrase equivalent with “talk to the hand” in my house.
But I do love them so anyway.
MikeS:
you gotta be sh…ng AR actually based objectivism by watching cats? Are you serious? Please, I gotta see that article.
Persoanlly I am a dog guy so maybe I am not the objectivist I thought I was!
And all this time I thought it was based on Aristotle & Von Mises
and now you are telling me its cats, WTF?
Bron,
No article, just my strange sense of humor. However, you have to admit that if pets had political philosophies cats would be Objectivists.
MikeS:
yes I thought that was a funny line. And yes you are right, they do look out for their own self interest, are self contained and will let you scratch them behind the ears when it is good for them.
Cats, The Unknown Ideal or the Virtue of Felinishness?
“Hey all! Let’s have a MOCK ISLAM party here. Post your Muhammed jokes. Post your Aisha jokes. Post anything that mocks Islam….”
Sounds like a good time to me!
The capacity of self-professed “Christians” to accord to themselves “Victim” status is a thing … of awe. Doesn’t work, but still awesome. And apparently some actually believe their own “Victimitis” propaganda.
Fair is fair: Religion = Religion.
RevDrBillyBob:
One wonders if instead of emulating the self-sacrificing man from Galilee, the modern Christian would like to change places with the savior. Tough gig for the first day or so, but imagine the overwhelming adulation to follow. If masochism is defined as a psychological malady, would the same diagnosis apply to a whole class of the afflicted?
Well Lester, Buhda you asked for some one to bash Muslims and I am always happy to oblige. Here are just a few of the most tasteless jokes I hope to ever see. They are from the very first site that comes up when you google “muslim jokes”
I hope you choke on them!
Q. What do you call a Muslim who owns a camel and a goat?
A. Bisexual.
Q. How do Muslims practice safe sex?
A. They mark the camels that kick.

A. Nothing, yet.
Q. What do you call a Muslim who owns 6 goats?
A. A pimp.
Q. whats the difference between a truck full of dead Muslim babies and a truck full of bowling balls?
A. The bowling bowls are hard to pick up with a pitchfork.

Q. What’s the hardest part about a Muslim killing his own daughter?
A. Suppressing the erection.

Q. What’s the difference between a Muslim and a vampire?
A. At some point the vampire will stop being bloodthirsty.
A Muslim walks into his local mosque with a big grin on his face.
“What are you so happy about, Abdul?” Asks the Imam.
“Well, I’ll tell you,” replies Abdul. “I live by the railroad tracks and on my way home last night, I noticed a young woman tied to the rails, like in the American movies. I cut her free and took her back to my humble abode. Allah be praised – we made love all night, all around the tent. We did everything, me on top, sometimes her on top, every position permitted by Mohammed, Peace Be Upon Him!”
“By the most Merciful,” exclaimed the Imam, “you have been blessed. Was she as beautiful as a desert flower?”
Abdul grimaced, “By the Jinn, I do not know – I never found her head.”
Q. What’s the difference between ET and Muslims?
A. ET got the point and went home.
Sorry Buddha,
That last one was for Lester and Dog Bone. This one is for all the Christian’s who feel the need to force their religious beliefs on everyone they meet.
Matthew
6:1 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.
6:2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
6:3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:
6:4 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.
6:5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
6:6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
Youaskedforit,
lol, you came armed for bear! Nice job.
To the believers who are getting all wound up over the entries on this blog:
“Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.” (Matthew 7:6).
It is heretical to expect unregenerate people to understand. Let it go. There are others out there waiting to receive the truth.
