Oh, that's right. I've always thought it was strange that the animals who surrounded some of my favorite foods (namely pigs and hogs) were the most disgusting creatures based on their outward appearance (like groveling in their own waste and filth). I guess that's part of God's plan and I'll never be able to understand it.

Yeah, I'm a bacon lover myself, and it makes you wonder how an animal groveling in filth and eating something I wouldn't even want to know about could create such a delicious source of meat!

Agreed.

As a Christian who is not a biblical literalist,
I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the manna which rained down from heaven,
was actually bacon bits.

Well...because actually feral/wild pigs aren't nasty like that. It's a common misconception that a pig is a filthy creature, but that misconception comes from domesticated swine that are kept in filth. A pig normally will avoid wallowing in it's own poop if it can. Sure it likes a good roll in the mud to keep away biting bugs, but it won't wallow in poop unless it's forced to live in it.

And ya know, I don't have much problem with non-literalists as long as they don't come knocking on my door. I think the YEC literalists are out of their minds, though.

I've often imagined how it might go if an atheist knocked on my door;

Hello can I help you?

No you can't.

Oh really? Then why did you knock on my door?

No reason really.

Is there something you want to tell me?

Only to let you know God is nothing.

Nothing?

Yea. Nothing.

So would nothing be somewhere?

No. No where.

So is there a no where somewhere?

If there was a no where some where, no where would be some where, and no where is no where.

So then you stating definitivley that no where is no where?

Yes I am.

Get off my porch you dogmatic no whereist!
