No problem. They can be taken care of by animal loving atheists.

We are a group of dedicated animal lovers, and atheists. Each Eternal Earth-Bound Pet representative is a confirmed atheist, and as such will still be here on Earth after you’ve received your reward. Our network of animal activists are committed to step in when you step up to Jesus.

… Our representatives have been screened to ensure that they are atheists, animal lovers, are moral / ethical with no criminal background, have the ability and desire to rescue your pet and the means to retrieve them and ensure their care for your pet’s natural life.

You might think this is a joke, but just look at the FAQ’s. Question one is:

Q: Is this a Joke?
A: No. This is a serious offer to our Christian friends who believe in the Second Coming and honestly care about the future of their pets after the Rapture occurs.

So, therefore it is not a joke. The big problem, of course, is what happens if the represetnatitve who is supposed to take care of your pet gets Raptured? Well, they’ve got that figured out too, and it’s in the FAQs:

Q: How do you ensure your representatives won’t be Raptured.
A: Actually, we don’t ensure it, they do. Each of our representatives has stated to us in writing that they are atheists, do not believe in God / Jesus, and that they have blasphemed in accordance with Mark 3:29, negating any chance of salvation.

If you check my you-tube account and look at videos I’ve “liked” or “added” or whatever, ignore that. I’ve only ever added one (by Ana) and all the others are random click events.

If you ever want me to join a Facebook cause or group, send me an email asking me to do that. I routinely go through all the requests and click “no” or whatever really fast. Every now and then I realize I just clicked into oblivion something I might actually like to join or support but it is usually too late.

If you are not my facebook friend, then WTF????

I’ve been experimenting with Amazon Widgets here (in the sidebars) and here.

I’m looking for a sidebar widget for Quiche Moraine, which is a WordPress site, that does what Stephanie Zvan’s blogroll widget does on Almost Diamonds. Anybody know of one that works?

Of Creation, starring Paul Bettany and Jennifer Connolly, Scott says:

I believe it to be a thoughtful, well-made film that will change many views of Darwin held by the public – for the good. The acting is strong, the visuals are wonderful, and it treats with loving care the Victorian details of the furnishings at Down house and other sites (such as Malvern), and the local church.

The movie takes place after Darwin has returned from the Beagle voyage, and has settled down with his wife, Emma. It concentrates on their relationship, on the growth of their family, and of course, on the production of his most famous scientific work, On the Origin of Species. …

Read the following text. As you read it, try to empty your mind. When you encounter grammatical errors or jargon that is impossible to understand, do not try to translate what you are reading. Rather, become one with the obscurity. Read slowly, thoughtlessly, with emptiness of purpose, as though the words were entering your eyes, traveling through your head, and leaving through your ears. The ultimate understanding will be achieved when you reach the end of the abstract and have understood nothing:
