** Veal Cutlets and Pancakes

"Well, doctor, have you received the results of my tests?" the patient asked.

"Yes, Mr. Smith, and I'm afraid I've got some really bad news for you. You've got VD, AIDS and Mad Cow Disease".

"Oh, no! What treatment can you give me?"

"We're going to take you into the hospital, give you your own private room, and put you on a diet of veal cutlets and pancakes."

"Veal cutlets and pancakes? Delicious! I never realized that those delicious foods could help cure me!"

"They won't, but they're easy to slide under the door."

When I was pregnant with my first son I found out that my son was very sick. They told me that I could abort my son or I could go on with the prgnancy. I choose to go on. I went thr doctor appt. where they had to stick a needle into my stomach and into my uters every week for months. I was ready to do anything for my son. And I asked God to make sure my son could get here and have the surgeries he needed. I went day to day and I thought we were going to make it. Then 3 weeks before induction day my son died. I had to feel him die, I had to deliver him dead. Do I have the right to turn my back? Do I have the right to blam him? Cause as I see it he was the only one who could have made the difference.

I'm black, and older white men in their late 60's and older seem to be really nice to me. I don't get it. Is it like a secret code or what? Shouldn't they be racist? Especially what happened the time they were growing up? Jim Crow and all.

Do you honestly think that god got on his new Toshiba lap top and typed up his new novel "The Bibe" By god?

I mean, I believe in god and stuff, but I don't believe the bible word for word.

Do you really think god wrote all that?

I heard this song on the radio today (__ bless XM Radio) and the chorus line hit me. It dawned on me that I think this is the reason I come to RS.
http://www.zippyvideos.com/2383104445712216/thechange_garthbrooksmusicvideo/

And for those who are not Garth Brooks fans (shame on you VC) or don't care to tantilize your ears right now here is the chorus line:

"And I hear them saying you'll never change things
And no matter what you do it's still the same thing
But it's not the world that I am changing
I do this so this world will know
That it will not change me"

What are your thoughts? How many come here as an affirmation of your beliefs? That no matter how ugly it gets in here you will not let that deter either your faith in whatever god or your faith in mankind.

Thanks and have a great night!

The above noted quote was one of the replies I got in another question related to God and religions...

Isn't it wonderful to have a one size fits all answer like this one where you can dismiss just about anything and everything?

I have been to tons of funerals... Always the same answers when the dead person died accidently or too early "It was God's wish" - "God has a reason" - "God has a plan for each and everyone of us", etc...

Look around at all the social and enviromental destruction, the madness, the killing, the loss of millions of innocent lives, etc... ALL PART OF GOD'S OVERALL PLAN!

Well, I cannot force people to believe or not believe, but I for one thinks God is nothing more than a legend that was cleverly or accidently invented to control the mass back when illeterate and ignorant people we common.

Yet, here we are year 2007 and the legends are still used to control the gullibles... and there's no shortage of them?

What do you think?

..and why?

2007-11-04 14:09:41 · 14 answers · asked by Anonymous in Mythology & Folklore

Yes yes I know "20:4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: "

But if that is to be taken as 'dont have pictures of saints or angles' then shouldnt it also say 'dont have pictures of any land animal or fish' - it says earth or water, not just heaven.

How does this not work both ways?
