I declare dog sentences only for myself. Woof. Arf. Bark. Grrr.

The church has stood, a rock colossus of bigotry, in the path of ten thousand proposed reforms. Sane efforts to legalize birth control information, the manufacture of proper birth control appliances, appliances for the inhibition of the spread of venereal disease, public instruction in sex hygiene, free clinics for the treatment of venereal disease, the inspection and treatment of prostitutes, controlled prostitution itself, the publication of psychological and physical sex information, aid for unwed mothers—myriad attempts by sane men acting sanely on real problems — have been fought down by church-frightened legislatures and church-dominated courts.
Phillip Wylie, 1942, Generation of Vipers
I'm here, I'm superstition clear; get used to it.
dog is a shepherd
he oft shall bark
he leadeth me with his chew toy
firmly in his mouth
he walketh beside the still water
an eye out for squirrels and possums
surely his tail will be captured
with enough round and round
then he will sleep at my feet
and I run the channels or read
A man said to the universe:
"Sir I exist!"
"However," replied the universe,
"The fact has not created in me
A sense of obligation."

@Frank Apisa,
Well, I know it's a 'guess', Frank.
But I'd stake my life on it.
There most certainly is a God and He is not the one responsible for the misery mankind has endured for 6000+/- years
Of course, edgar seems equally certain about his asseveration.
