The primary reason that cats will never develop a system of organized religion.

Looking for a certain RP comic and/or Rant and can't find it?

Up to Scratch

Jesus loves cats Here's how religion works:

One guy says to his friends and acquaintances "You better cross your eyes on Thursdays or God will rot your huevos off."

His friends, etc. take his word for it because, hey, they heard a story from their cousin's brother down in Jersey...

From this example it's clear that the fundamental ingredient in faith is doubt, which is why religion is so dead-set against facts.

Now cats are not burdened by anything so needlessly worrisome as doubt. True, they can be frightened to the point of apoplexy on occasion but for the most part their world-view says they're top predator and everyone and everything else better just look out, although they're certainly happy to cut some slack for the miserable wretch who opens the cans and cleans out the litter boxes.

Dogs, on the other hand, are all about doubt. They're smart enough to know their environment is full of sinister manifestations out to do them and their masters no damn good so they've devised their own religion to give them succor, complete with their own gods... us.

What? You don't see this in their eyes every time you walk in the door?

Heretic.

That, then, is essentially the difference between dog and cat owners. Dog owners enjoy being treated as deities, perhaps even need this canine glorification to satisfy some inner emotional shortcoming.

Cat owners are simply happy to be treated as equals... that and not having their eyes clawed out in their sleep by the fuzzy little bastards.

Amongst all this frivolity I'd like to take a moment to encourage you to visit congressman Bernie Sanders' web page and sign his petition encouraging the president to resist the economic blackmail by the Republican party during the current budget negotiations.

Thank you!

john boehner"We're going to have a relentless focus on creating jobs." - John Boehner, February 10, 2011.

The following is #46 in a list of accomplishments by the GOP since they gained control of the House in 2011. None have yet to result in one, single new job.

(46) 6-29-2011: Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) spent $9 million dollars of his own money in his race for a senate seat in 2010 but afterwards had his own company pay him back to the tune of $10 million in "deferred compensation". Is this illegal? Very probably, though it oddly resulted in a new American job: Senator Ron Johnson. So way to go, GOP! Only ten million more jobs to go.
