Guaranteed To Make You Chuckle …

I think that in light of all the darkness in the world at the moment, it is important to maintain some balance, to find a lighter note every now and then in order to keep our perspective so we can keep on fighting the good fight.  Sally and Debby over and Sally’s Smorgasbord help us do that, and this week’s batch of ‘funnies’ goes above and beyond, so I’m sending you over there for some badly needed chuckles!  Thank you, Sally & Debby!!!

      • Ah too bad. I have been having such discussions since I was five. 🙂 Something doesn’t have to exist to believe in it. Many people think cold is a thing. You can be as cold as you want, I’ll be less warm.

        • “Something doesn’t have to exist to believe in it.” That’s a head-scratcher! I’m a realist and stopped believing in that which cannot be proven long ago. I’m not cold in any way, at least I hope I’m not. But, I respect other people’s beliefs, so I try to avoid religious discussions as I don’t wish to offend anyone. I’m of the “live and let live” variety.

          • Perhaps God is Cold. Every structure man has ever built is based upon c2 = a2 + b2. Just a theorem. I enjoy lively religious discussions. Makes use of all the time I’ve spent in researching the topic. I do find it amusing that you have fallen for the grift that religions have anything to do with God. Maybe if people saw Jesus as a good man instead of a god his vision of a peace on earth as well as in heaven might have a chance. Gods don’t make men, men make gods.

            • I wouldn’t mind religious discussions so much, except that I’ve found people who are believers seem to feel it’s their duty to shove their beliefs down the throats of those of us who are non-believers, to tell us in no uncertain terms that we are wrong and they are right. So, I typically avoid such conversations. From what I know of the Christian beliefs, that Jesus guy was a humanitarian and an all-round good man, but those aren’t the values that the Christian religion promotes today. The hypocrisy of religion is just one of the things that turns me away. But to your final point … yes, that is so true. Men carve out gods in order to suit their own purposes.

              • Religions evolved from men’s need for explanations. Science is a branch of that tree. Many of the cautions on consumables in Leviticus, the third book of Moses are enforced by modern regulations for sanitation and handling of potentially hazardous foods. Many things can be learned from the bible including how to tell a good story. I found the Bhagavad Gita to be as entertaining. I’ve known quite a few preachers and priests, even buried one. They have all been regular men and women. If someone tells you they talk to gods they likely don’t. Believing, not believing neither makes it so.

                • Science, at least, can be supported by proof, facts, and evidence. Religion has none of those. And I don’t just mean Christianity, but all the world’s religions, or at least those I’m familiar with.

                  • It is nice to be living at the end of knowledge. Sucks to be a 2nd century BC fisherman upon the loss of his son to anaphylactic shock from an allergic reaction to shellfish seeking advice from Archimedes, the greatest mathematician from history and well known learned man, only to be told it is the wishes of the gods.
                    Fact based opinions have value but what of opinions of things for which there are no facts. Maybe I was told but I believe that I was able to deduce that the absence of real knowledge was cause for the multiplicity of religions. I can easily imagine that there is no God but then I would have to explain Art with chemistry.

                    • Does everything need an explanation? My big question of the week is why don’t humans have fur? If one believes in god and religion, then … is our lack of fur a punishment for something? And if you don’t, then … why did the human species stop being furry after evolving from the apes?

                    • 2 million years ago we were nomads following the herds across the African savannahs and someone evolved to sweat, a lot. Sweating became popular so we lost our fur.
                      Fun fact Ace was breed to be fast. As a consequence his undercoat of fur was lost to conserve weight. None of his packmates love a blanket like ace. He will root around for 20 minutes to get his nest made.

                    • Hmmmm … so Eskimos and others born into constantly cold climates DO still have fur then?

                      Is Ace a greyhound? I can just picture him snuggling with a blanket! And maybe a stuffed teddy bear, too. Hugs to Ace!

                    • No. They usually have less hair than Europeans. Ace is a whippet, a miniature greyhound. He has an abominable snowman that was loved into retirement. He is currently playing a Brutus of Buckeye fame.
