But to those who believe in God, I say, " Your God is a c..t.

Did you ever stop to think about the fact that G-d existence doesn't
depend on your ability to understand His motives for anything?

Do you have children? Were they ever young enough and immature enough
that they didn't undestand what actions you did on their behalf, liking
regulating their bedtime, forcing them to go to school, forcing them to
have flu shots, etc. I'll bet they thought you were mean at the time.

It's one thing to be athiest, but what sort of person goes around saying
teh things you do? How can you be so absolutely certain that there isn't
a reality beyond what you're senses tell you, that you would figure you
had absolutely nothing to lose by speaking as you do. What do you gain
by it?

Even Bertram Russell said that if he was wrong and he met His Maker, he
would argue lack of evidence. How would you argue being so pernicious,
so truculent?

Are you this way in all walks of life? Gee, I hope not.

BTW I was referring to your God. If I had a God he/she would be kind and
protective of animals and humans.

I often think of God and wish my version did exist.

Since that God you often think of doesn't exist, you (we) have the wonderful
opportunity to emulate him/her/it. Maybe thats what your dog was asking?

Last week I was in Spain, and loning out there in the Pyrenee bush I met the
Patriarch of all dogs, a most magnificant and huge grey wolfe. Eye to eye it
had all reasons not to trust me I guess, and quickly disappeared. Luckily
not to get some of his friends or family and organise them a nice meal with
me.
