Woof ‘n’ Worship
From the Private Journal of Rev. Tom Eggebeen—
November the 22nd, year of our Lord 2009
Woof ‘n’ Worship! My wild fancy has taken root and grown,
grown beyond my most fervid imaginings. My sanctuary brims
with gentlemen and ladies and their animal companions,
all come to share the Good News of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Yet, I am troubled. The great poet Ice Cube once noted:
“Forget about a dog, fool, he’ll shit in the den.”
Why did I not listen? Why??????????

lol! -truthfully though, if any creature on Earth emulates Christ’s love, it’s a dog
(taking them to church seems a bit silly though!)
Hey! if Christians are starting to think dogs might have souls, do you think they may one day be open to accepting the idea of re-incarnation of souls?

Sue, I don’t think so they’re going to go for reincarnation since that opens up way too many possibilities and messes with the separation between Man and Animal (which is also why animals aren’t officially going to heaven, either, in the Catholic view at least.) (I wonder if Manimal was a Condemned TV show?) It would also ruin the whole birth, death, afterlife sequence.
