Trickier than that.

God is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.

Mary is the Mother of God.

So, God is not His own Grandpaw; He is His own Father. (I paid a lot of attention to capitalization in this line)

<i>Myself, I am your, and my, father</i>

God is a zero-dimensional parent.

I know, this article set my teeth on edge (on a personal level). I totally agree with you about these idiots....no offense taken.

Quite late here, but happy birth-yesterday. I hope you got a nice piece of rawhide.*

*(Edit) or whatever works for rawhide.

Give them a little artistic license on the placenta, okay? Personally, I'd rather remember strawberry bits.

How many unwanted children has Southern Baptist leader Richard Land adopted?

Isn't this guy the pastor of Landover Baptist?

I thought it was kind of clever; although, now that I think about it, I wasn't invited to the babby shower for either of my kids.

Shorter and more accurate version: "Nothing is ever preferable to raising a baby in a solid, faithful Christian home."

Have you ever considered starting a religion? Because the rate at which you emit pearls of wisdom is definitely competitive.

Also, if you need somebody to handle cloud deployment, keep me in mind.

<i>[Richard] Land, who until recently was the president of the Southern Baptists’ “Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission" ..."</i> He had to quit because he was against both of them.

In the context of Land's speech I might agree, but just like in much of life there are all kinds of circumstances surrounding pregnancies. Sometimes a mother DOES give up her baby out of love. I'm adopted, my brother is adopted and my oldest daughter put up her first baby for adoption. We all have better lives because of it.

But I can't imagine the benefit of giving up a child so another couple can ram religion down its throat.

Need more white babies? Now, the blanketing of conservative talk radio with ED adverts makes sense.
