I burst into hysterics when I saw this! The original was an old favorite of some members of my family. (One set of steps was when “I carried you…”) I sent it out and the whole family was hysterical! Thank you! We need the laughs!
When I was a young teen, I read the bible. Strictly because I had exhausted every other available book, magazine, Readers Digest, and news paper I could get my hands on. I came across that babble quote, and realized it was hogwash. It was just a way to keep an army from walking around in their own shit. They just dressed it up with the dog’s holiness issue, to make people do what would otherwise be common fucking sense.
Some people are too stupid to keep their camp free of feces, they have to be told not to do it, by the dog of course.
How anyone could read that book, and become a holier than thou jackass as a result, is beyond my understanding.
Ah, I do remember reading every book in the house, all of my grandma’s reader’s digests, and the “condensed books”, the World Book encyclopedia my parents bought, etc. I ended up reading theh bible on a bet with my dad who said, “if you can read all of this other stuff, why cant’ you read the bible?” Muwahaha, that’s what started me on the path to be an atheist.
hard to tell if the jackassery came first or after the cult. I suspect it varies.
Heh. Reading that drivel put me on the path to non belief as well. It took a while. I went from wanna be believer, to doubtful, yet still hanging on, to “this has got to be bullshit!” in a few years. But I was still trying to find my way with it. Yet the science I could believe, was always at odds with the ignorant shit they peddle. So at some point I finally decided I was an agnostic. Seemed a safe enough place. Then I grew into a stronger agnostic. Finally I slowly realized agnosticism was a cop out, it was hiding in the weeds. I was close. What put me over the edge was The 29 Evidences for Evolution. That did it, I was done.
I believe there is an effect of jack-assery associated with belief. It becomes stronger, the more dedicated they are to it, and the longer they have been at it. The deeper the belief the more dangerous they become. And most of them, wear those idiotic red hats.
Anything becomes justifiable, when the dog conveniently agrees with your personal desires.
My favorite ending to that bit of glurge is “The Sand People always ride single file, to hide their numbers”.

That’s a good one. All those pesky questions that creationists have no answers for, and plenty of evidence to show why they are so full of shit.
