Because I love my dog and she loves me.

:D

That is assuming that once one dies, one wants to go there.

Don't know if I want to get in. If its like the Heaven in South Park, hell looks like more fun.:D

Jesus said the Kingdom of Heaven is within you. Kinda jibes with the Buddhist and Taoist concepts of enlightenment, IMHO.

I used to see Christians of some stripe, Campus Crusade For Christ I think, set up at tables on college campuses, with a sign that read:

"Answer these two questions to find out if you're going to heaven."

:silly:

That's a pretty presumptuous claim to that kind of knowledge, methinks.

Reminds me of yet another of my favorite bumper stickers:

"Dog is my co-pilot."

:D

I'll only agree to this "go to heaven" business if THESE girls are waiting there for me.

Yeah, I remember those. Every Volvo station wagon in Berkeley has that, it's required.

Is that one labrador or two you have in there.

Actually, it's three Basset Hounds, in the back of my Mercedes wagon.

So what's your favorite musical?Annie get your Nug?

Because I can spell Czechoslovakia and drive a Mercedes Benz...

Because the blood of Christ was shed to forgive the sins of the whole world, and I believe in that. It doesn't get any simpler.

Wow . . .
 

. . . took two whole pages before we got serious on this thing.

I dunno, but I'd like to think the way I treat people, including the furry small persons known as animals, will build me some credit Up Yonder.

When my late Maine Coon cat's health began to fail when he was 14, I hung in there with him. I fed him through a stomach tube for a whole summer, then gave him insulin injections for his diabetes for nearly two years more. I was there at the end, when the doctor gave him his final injection (and he turned his head and growled at her). I sprinkled his ashes up in the mountains and paid for a little lucite memorial plaque at the Denver Dumb Friends League.

Most important, I didn't do any of this because I thought it would earn me points in heaven. I did it because he was my friend, and I was responsible for him.

Is that Christina Applegate in that pic?

Benz, that was a moving story.

I recently listened to Bill Bryson's A Short History of Nearly Everything. In the closing chapter he talks about how mankind has the intelligence and the ability to both preserve animal species or to wipe them all from the face of the earth. It was a very interesting discourse.

The furry creatures in the world would be much better off if there were more people like you.

St. Francis of Asisis would be proud of you.

My dog would make a lousy co-pilot. He refuses to read a map. :eek:
