Do you believe in dog? If so, why? If not, why not?
 
Posted by suntranafs (Member # 3318) on :
 
Yes, I believe in Dog because I talk to him everyday.
I also believe in my imaginary friend be cause I talk to him everyday.

Well, I'm a dyslexic, agnostic, insomniac; I stay up all night wondering whether there really is a dog.

Ok, now I've fulfilled 100% of my daily requirement of being dopey And cruel, in one fell swoop!

There's a dog living across the street from me. It's an Airdaille (sp?) that constantly has this blank look on its face, so I question whether or not it's cognisant.

So, yes, I believe in Dog. As to whether or not he's a Dog worth believing in, I'll let the philosophers argue over that one. The dyslexic insomniac agnostic ones.

I don't believe in dog!
My yellow aligator tells me to not believe it.

It would be incorrect to say that I do not believe in Dog, because that presupposes the existence of a Dog, or dogs.

It is part of the overall Doggist conspiracy to make the "existence" of Dog a basic tenet of human thought and dialectic response, and--personally--I resent the hell out of it.

It would be far better to say that I believe that no such thing as a Dog, or dogs exist.

[edited to correct logic structure of above statement]

More importantly, just what do mean by "Dog"? I have heard Dog defined in so many different ways that I've personally lost track of which One Dog I'm supposed to believe (or not believe) in.

Besides, the belief in Dog has cause this world more misery than just about any other belief around.

It's a dobie. He's making fun of the thread, not you. It's not personal. If you don't understand the concept of a dobie thread, then you're still a newbie.

Geez, what does a person have to do to get slighted around here!?!

Clearly, I'm just not offending the right people.

ssywak, you're a loser, and your post was in VERY poor taste. It wasn't funny at all. [Wink] [Razz] [Big Grin]

The think the question the first post was trying to ask was, do you believe spotted llamas?

And really, it all depends on the number of spots.

Thank you, Nick. At least somebody understands.

I don't beleive in DOG. I used to but then I asked DOG to help me find my shoes, and he didn't. DOG had failed me when I needed him most, and I lost my faith DOG as a result.

I know this thread is about beleif in DOG, but I have seen some good posts on other message boards about beleif in GOD, and I thaught I'd repost them here:

"Yes I beleive in God, why do I beleive in God, because I am a gulible idiot who beleives what ever books tell me, but I don't know what to beleive now that I've started reading the Odyssy."

"I beleive in God, because during the crusades, inquisitions, and witch hunts we killed all those who didn't, and anything that people have to be forced to beleive at the end of a sword must be true."

"I don't beleive in God because my Christian friends always talk about God's forgiveness, so if they're right and this loving and forgiving God exist then God will forgive me, so I'm still covered. My real problem is that when I ask my friends who are full of faith how know that they are right about what is "the truth" they claim it is obviouse and thus they can see it, but if the truth is so obvious then the real truth was brobaply known to some ancient culture who our ancestors, or Alexander, or the Romans Killed off or converted, so theirgods are probably really mad at us."

Honestly I am a dyslexic, insomniac, Catholic, who beleives in both GOD and dog, but these quotes were to funny not to share. I hope I didn't offend anyone, or at least anyone I know.
 
Posted by Nick (Member # 4311) on :
 
Marek, have you read the book Timeline? I'm just curious because one of the main characters in that book has a last name of Marek, and he goes by Marek. Coincidence?
 
Posted by Marek (Member # 5404) on :
 
No Nick, I haven't read Timeline. I think I got the name from Enchantment, so I guess it is a coincidence, sorry.

For the record, EnderWiggin2004, Thanks. [Cool]

yours,

This thread strikes me as a little one-sided, as we haven't heard any of the dogs weigh in yet....
 
Posted by ssywak (Member # 807) on :
 
Filleted,

Hello! That's because there is no DOG!

To paraphrase a previous post on P-Web:

quote:
Dog doesn't work. Dog isn't. And I hope that Dog can forgive you for your avatar
(Hmm...that doesn't make much sense, does it)

AM I?

oh, wait...I'm sorry...

I AM!

(I'm a little dyslexic myslef)

Dog,

you are a false Dog. Dog would not post like that.

Posted by DOG (Member # 5428) on :
 
I am the one Dog. You shall have no other dogs before me!

I am what I am , and that's all what I am!

Who are you to claim that you truly know the ways of Dog?!?!

Here's my favorite:
Can Dog create a bone so big that Dog cannot bury it?

Or:
Can Dog hide a bone so well that Dog cannot find it again?

Thou art not The Dog.

The Dog would speak otherwise and express herself differently.

So is the purpose of man's life to become more like Dog?

If Dog is one's Father, what does that make one? Of course, we haven't specified the gender of Dog. Since we've made one reversal...

I have an intersting theory about Dog and the anti-dog, Cat. Bear with me, because some of the things may be blasphemous to ardent believers in Dog.

You provide dog with food, water, and affection, and it thinks, "They give me miraculous things, they must be gods!"

You provide cat with food, water, and affection, and it thinks, "They give me food, water, and love, I must be a god!"
 
Posted by Adeimantus (Member # 5219) on :
 
Cat is too sinister to be a god. Dog must be the answer. I believe!!!!

The (bogus) mathematical equation for "finding the dog'

if X equals the number of chipmunks in a forest, X * 16 will give you Y which is the number of chipmunks in the forest times 16. If one multiplies Y by the number of known giant sea turtles on the mountain peaks in saskatchewan, one receives L. WHich is the number of chipmunks in the forest times 16 times the number of sea turtles on the mountain peaks in saskatchewan.

If we take L and add 1 we can then proceed to the final step of calculating if dog exists and in what numbers.

(L+1)N = The number of dogs on the planet.

Provided N equals the number of dogs on the planet that is.

DOG is too congenial to my interests for me to be comfortable believing in DOG. I worry that I would only believe in DOG because I already agree with the things DOG stands for, not because there is evidence that DOG exists.

I therefore choose to believe that CAT is the way and the truth.
 
Posted by The Wiggin (Member # 5020) on :
 
How can u fallow CAT when DOG is sio much better as i now expline:
DOG=Do Only Good
CAT=Cant Accept Truth
I rest my case DOG shall prevale. [The Wave]
 
Posted by DOG (Member # 5428) on :
 
(DOG pants and smiles that dog-smile that only dog-lovers understand, walks around 3 times and sits down, drooling on your shoes in gratitude)

BTW, it's "Prevail," and, "Yes, I shall" (but in a passive, friendly sort of way).

Here's another point--the show wasn't "Davey and his stupid cat," it was "Davey and Goliath." (well, "David"--but he'll always be Davey to me...)

--DOG.

so small a cranium, so large a reservoir of wisdom.

Posted by Bean Counter (Member # 6001) on :
 
It is clear to me that DOG must have existed for do we not see the yellow snow? Do we not have the dry and hard DOG turds that prove that a DOG must have made them?

However it may well be that DOG has left us here to tend to ourselves, doing our own fetching and pulling our own sledges.

Therefore it is of no practical value to call the DOG, or to heap affection on the DOG to try to get ahead in the universe DOG has left us. It is clear that DOG expects us to get along without him inside the world he has given us.
