The earth and the life on it could not have formed naturally. And what is obvious to the ingrate - that women make babies - is heresy to the believer who knows that only gods create life.<BR/><BR/>Gratitude is the bedrock of all kinds of hocus pocus.<BR/><BR/>Check this out:<BR/>http://everything2.com/e2node/Hocus-pocusMiss Poppy Dixonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15661716869344219213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5963811278930896572.post-10987459523064377122008-08-25T10:14:00.000-07:002008-08-25T10:14:00.000-07:00You know, I think you're absolutely right.You know, I think you're absolutely right.spajadigithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04796546096636247752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5963811278930896572.post-74421494962610240502008-08-25T09:37:00.000-07:002008-08-25T09:37:00.000-07:00God must be an altar ego (pun intended).With all o...God must be an altar ego (pun intended).<BR/><BR/>With all our false piety the public would never accept someone who said, "I want to acknowledge all of the hard work that got me here."Miss Poppy Dixonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15661716869344219213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5963811278930896572.post-36894017282479242562008-08-25T00:27:00.000-07:002008-08-25T00:27:00.000-07:00I was just thinking about this very thing, but in ...I was just thinking about this very thing, but in a slightly different context. My wife and I are pretty avid theater goers and before the show starts, I like to read over the cast bios to see if they've been in anything we've seen before. <BR/><BR/>Invariably, there will be at least one actor who wants to thank god for the opportunity to be in that nights show...<BR/><BR/>I went to an art college, and I've seen how hard these men and women work for their craft, I've seen how many of them work low paying or thankless jobs for years before their break comes along and I know how random chance often plays a huge role in that break.<BR/><BR/>So why do they thank god rather than acknowledge all of the effort and hard work they've done to reach the goal so many covet and so few attain?<BR/><BR/>It's truly something I will never be able to understand.spajadigithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04796546096636247752noreply@blogger.com
