So basically God is just like Dog, but without the benefit of existence?

Funny how god wasn’t shown in that video, it only showed the dog. Pretty telling.
Yes, I noticed that too. Maybe god wags his tail too, when we are being good christians? The way I grew up, I pictured more of a finger-wag when I was a bad christian…something wierd came up for me. I started dating a man who believes in the divinity of Jesus. He doesn’t go to church or live a typical “christian” life – in fact, he’s a musician and therefore his lifestyle is definitely NOT that of the christians I knew. So it doesn’t trigger me too much. He knows my position as an atheist and for him it’s not a dealbreaker. Do any of you have any advice for me on this? The question – is it possible to intimate with someone who doesn’t share your essential view of life?
if you FEEL it’s possible, then go for it. You’re the only one who can really judge if your positions are truly incompatible.
I’m afraid I’m not very objective. One thing my pastor father said keeps coming back to me – and that is “do not be unequally yoked”. The point was to ensure that I dated only nice christian men. So I’m kind of in an ironic situation.
I really, really want to call Poe on this one.
I don’t see why you would say that. There’s no reason this would be a Poe.
Mainly because of the cheesy factor. I happen to know that it’s not.
This is making me feel sad about leaving my cats at home when I am at work. (and this is just sad anyway…stupid cartoon dog!)
Agreed. Though silly, I also found it to be very sweet : )
Now I’m picturing God wagging his tail, which is rather …. fun.
But if I get laid before getting married, Gawd will punish me and my Dog, well, he will just sniff my crotch wondering where I have been. :)
That’s not destined to become one of the all time great songs, I think.
Its a cute song. I also reminds me my dog is better than god.
Did God slobber all over Mary and lick her a lot? Answers on a postcard…
This song has inspired me…. Inspired me to make up an imaginary dog that doesn’t shed and won’t pee and poop in the house.
Is this why a vast majority of atheists seem to be cat people?
Zing!!!!!!!! ;D
I’m a cat person. At the risk of offending my dog-loving friends on this blog, cats are independent thinkers. They go their own way, do not believe much in obedience, and you have to earn their love. And their atheist owners are terribly proud of them. (I’m speaking as an atheist-cat-lover-whose-cats-are-needy-and-dependent-like-dogs-so-I-have-little-credibility-on-this-issue)

LOL. My fiancee and I have four cats. They are every bit as needy and dependent as dogs. I think it’s just that they seem more dignified when they’re begging than dogs do.
One of my cats constantly brings me shoes from the bedroom – the kicker is – he brings PAIRS!!! He’ll bring one sandal, then the other one from the set. One day, he brought in one white sneaker from one pair, and another white sneaker from another pair. My son pointed his finger at Snowball and said “they don’t even MATCH!!!” So yes, my cats try VERY hard to please. So maybe I shouldn’t have said anything at all about this…
Guilty, I now have 2 cats again. And they are the farthest thing from independent! It is very difficult to get dressed in the morning or work on my homework while holding 2 cats that refused to be put down.
Also, hooray for cat people!
Yes, I dearly love my boyz also!
( we love our cats and are raising 3 cat lovers!! – however, i was raised with a great variety of animals around our home)
guilty as charged.
But I’ve also noticed that many who share the interest in hi-fi are cat persons…
Can both humans and dogs be created in God’s image?
She forgot a verse!
“For my praise both will beg, but only one will hump my leg”
Unless you’re Mary…
Oh, is THAT how she stayed a virgin? Well, I guess he’s not well-known for his precision.
That’s is reputedly unsatisfying for most women, but I’m just one voice.
How about:
“one can smell where things have pissed, the other one might not exist” or;
“one of them can lick his balls, the other one ignores your calls.” or;
“one of them has lots of fur, the other one’s a common cur.”
Somebody stop me!
“one of them can lick his balls, the other one ignores your calls.”
LMAO
It’s a beautiful though.
Thought you were talking about two of my ex-boyfriends for a second there…
Wow, that guy is…pretty flexible.
Everybody needs to be good at one thing.
lol
Not for a second! That generated my loudest laughs YET today! Thank you!
Dog is my co-pilot. WWDD- what would a dog do? And evidence shows that man selectively bred dogs from wolves, and they can inter breed. God have been getting a tummy rub about that time
Man shaped dogs to his needs. The same as he did with gods.
Very strange comparison…
“One will judge me as a slut, one will only sniff my butt.”
So when was the last time God took a shit on my carpet?
Well guys, it’s been fun. This video has finally turned me Christian.
Didn’t think it could happen, but it did.
Guess I’m going to have to learn to use (unnecessary) paretheses, and use words like ‘indwell.’ JohnC, where you at?
“Skeptics can’t debate a mutt / say goodbye to Elliott.”
“Our Lord’s autonomous, and he’ll smite Mr. Anonymous.”
I tried, but your handle was hard to rhyme with.
They call me the hiphopopotamus, flows that glow like phosphorous, poppin’ off the top of this esophagus, rockin’ this metropolis … I’m not a large water-dwelling mammal, where did you get that preposterous hypothesis?
My rhymes are bottomless…ugh…
Lol
Yes, sometimes my lyrics are sexist
But you lovely bitches and hos should know
I’m trying to correct this.
hehe
Her god dances with glee when she returns??? Lame. My traditional fire and brimstone god is going to kick her gods ass.
Well.. God didn’t exactly bring us dogs.. wolves however, a nastier companionship.

lolz
This reminds me, I’m almost out of toothpaste.
When I look up, I see the sky. Not the image of god. Hmmm.
I matched, perhaps exceeded the love my pet had for me before and since he died last October 5th. It still hurts deeply.
Human frailty? Sounds like a condescending, patriachal power structure telling me I can’t know best for myself or possibly understand anything. That’s the way of religion.
Pleasant voice and guitar work, though.
so god is kind of like a pervy old guy
The point of this video? You don’t need God if you have a Dog. After all they both seem to do all of the same things.
Except, as Daniel pointed out, dog exists.
OK – gotta share a bad joke.
What does an insomniac, dyslexic, agnostic do?
Stays up all night agonizing whether or not there is a dog.
The reason God was not shown in the video was that there are many “Gods” and the animator could not possibly have represented an image of every one of them….
