If it does pass, I'm going to demand that prayers for my god, Procurius, be included in the prayers. He's a new god but a real go getter. Can;t wait to see those Baptist's eyes spinning in their heads.

I'd insist on the Turtle God that rose up from the sea to create islands gets his due and tithes

....will admit am conflicted due to the betrayal of the Spaghetti God of whom we adore on our plates regularly but that Turtle god probably loves pasta too. Win, win!

Amazing our 'Murki-stans Taliban-gelicals kind of skip over that thingy in their bible that instructs one to "love" their paranormal deity rather than worship it.

The Talibangelical god is a jealous and vengeful god who basical threatens to punish if you put other gods before it which leads to the question, "What other gods" is it talking about. Seems it only claims to be the one true god, not the only god in town.(The check is in the mail and I love you too)

Daily Horoscope for January 7

Aquarius

Avoid making promises today, or even believing in other people's promises. Today is not a good day to make commitments, as they are not likely to materialise. Taking risks is a no-no. Try to relax until the numbers are in your favour. Those pursuing their career will benefit.
