And I have been inspired by all this talk of kind gestures to begin ending my posts with a flying pig for all -- except those that do not want my flying pig extended. Therefore, I shall henceforth end all my posts with ...

That is a lovely flying pig. I wonder why he has birdly wings rather than batty wings though, I mean, he is a mammal.

I'm not sure.

But I don't think mass-produced blessings count, do they? Aren't they the blessing equivalent of the peddled indulgences that so be-smirched the Catholic Church and hurried along the Reformation?

the soul from purgatory springs."

If blessings and curses actually work I suppose they are cumulative. Two is better than one, and one thousand is better than two.

Oh, thats a powerful curse there!

They STILL DO INDULGENCES???!!!

Why wouldnt they?

In Brazil we have a load of pseudo-christian churches that manipulate not-so-clever people into donating loads of money to the church, a small part of which is spent into making it seem like all of it is being spent into works of charity and church improvement.

@manored,

Re the pig having the wrong wings.

I believe the biggest bat wings in the whole world would not keep that pig aloft...it's just not a an aero-dynamically sound proposition.

Anyway, it couldn't have batty wings just sort of stuck on.....their wings are what their arms and hands turned into.

I think those are cherub wings, not birdy wings, by the way.

But...aren't indulgences even weirder than normal fraud? PAYING to get people out of purgatory (oh, wait...the church nixed purgatory a while back, didn't it?))....I mean, swallowing the god thing is one thing...paying MONEY to redeem souls, I'd have thought that would choke a boa-constrictor.

Whoa! Marvin's a powerful juju curse, is it?

I hope you have a Marvinous day!

I thought the last time Robert redesigned this thing that they'd abolished sig lines because I never did anything but they disappeared. Apparently, judging from the discussion here, they still exist. Why don't they show on my screen? Go with the winged pig.

@MontereyJack,

You have to put it back.

I don't think pictures are an option, though.

Have a pig of a day!

If you dont pay you go to hell either way, so I dont see how one is worse than the other. Except that indulgence is more obvious.

That made me remember that Marvin is my firefox theme, and there he is unjoyfully proclaiming: "Brain the size of a planet... and they ask me to..." =)

I think the truly christian godly would say it was the other way around.
