Dogs praying or people praying for them?
What next? I just heard of a joke atheist project. Atheists agree to take care of pets Left Behind when their owners are taken up to Heaven. For a small fee, atheists agree to take full care of the pets for the rest of their lives. I've always smiled, thinking of what believers say will happen, when they are taken up from their cars which then zoom along until they run off the road. And wives being whisked away, leaving the stove on and a neighborhood fire on the way. Being able to imagine a bodiless, immaterial god in this material world is comical, because Scripture also says he has a face, a right hand, etc. I wonder how much money in tithes this divine doggy motel receives?
What do dogs pray for?
This is very amusing. It makes me wonder what dogs pray for, or what their owners ask God for. More bones? Weaker leashes? Well, people pray for better jobs, a rich spouse, more hair, less fat, etc. The comical part is that believers say God has a Great Plan That Is All For The Best. So why try to change it? After all, anything seems to be fair, in the eternal evangelizing that always seeks to increase church income. It is exactly this kind of project to get money for preachers that PROVES THERE ARE NO GODS. There are only needy preachers who live off the energy of others.
