But yes, left handed (and footed).
For being left handed, oh no!
Typically lefties are easy to spot since they are highly intelligent, very good looking, humble,
and their bowel movements are odorless. 🙂

Is the Christian God not a jealous God? (I have biblical ammunition ready to fire).
Hold your fire.
Exodus 20:5 (and Deuteronomy 5:9, the verses are identical) says: "Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;"
The Christian God is the God of Abraham, the God of the Jews; of course he is a jealous God.
However, comparing the love of God to a human's love of a puppy is the "human spin" part. It's just not the same.

You once claimed that dogs had a better understanding of "God" than most atheists, and when pressed on it, it turned out you were being serious and not just taking a facetious swing. Is it still your belief that the instincts of dogs mean they have a better understanding of "God" than non-believer humans?

Yes. Dogs love unconditionally, and this is what God is about. They love humans better than humans do.
I wager that this penchant of yours for finding the simplest things unbelievable is at the basis of much of our disagreements.

Punish the innocent! And this is okay with your bunch. I am ashamed of you.
Originally posted by BigDoggProblem I like the analogy of the dad. In much of Christian thinking, this image is marred by the principle of condemnation for sin. My earthly father never condemned me like that when I screwed up. So why can't the heavenly father also cut his kids a little slack?!
I've often viewed God saying to me, ok you fell down, sinned. Get up, we have work to do, and we'll talk about it. But I've never viewed Him as "Hell Bent" on my failings.

Odorless bowel movements. LOL, That is right up there with "Star Poop" .
Left handed and born on April Fool's Day - and proud of it. Ha Ha
