Okay, I really should stay off the Christianity forum. It was a slow night, and I really did try to help. I think I was doing pretty well. Sadly I also invented a new Deity, GooBoo the tree frog fairy.

Things were going pretty well for GooBoo and me, then WG and Tickle ate him. :(

RIP GooBoo.

But he is a God, so we can resurrect him. In fact, I'm working on it right now. I've lit a candle, danced around a tree singing "GooBoo bruhaha"! He should be alive and well within the next 3 days.

So who's with me? Would anyone like to join my new religion?

All hail GooBoo!

I will but I ain't dancing naked in front of strangers. Can Owen come too?

Interesting. I didn't say anything about being naked. :)

Of course you can bring Owen. But he's not allowed to re-eat GooBoo! There will be no more frog legs for dinner!

I'm thinking Owen has a place in this somewhere. The Greeks had many gods, so this could be pananimaltheism, a religion in which there are a huge variety of animals with their unique characteristics. Of course, GooBoo can be the head of them all. :)

I don't want to dance naked either.

Alty · Jul 30, 2012, 02:43 PM

I think we can safely say that none of us are willing to dance naked. Let's put that idea on the back burner. Some of the men that join may not agree, but we're women, and GooBoo is behind us. We'll talk them out of naked dancing.

GooBoo is against naked dancing. You would be too if you had frog legs. :)

Are we going to be vegetarians, or worse, vegans?

Heck no! I love meat, and I'm a huge animal lover. But meat is nummy. I could never be a veggie eater, or worse a vegan. Not happening.

GooBoo encourages the eating of meat. He just doesn't agree that frogs are meat. In fact, frogs, and bunnies, are friends, not food. :)

Let's create some guidelines for this religion. Which animals will be in it? What will their role(s) be?

Ouch. I don't know if I like this.

I have to designate which animals are okay to eat, and which ones are untouchable?

Oh crap. I may become a vegetarian after all. I can't choose! I love all animals!

This may not end well.

Cows? Can we eat cows? Don't look at pictures! That will only end badly! Don't look into their eyes!

Sh#t. Okay, we're going to have to be vegetarians. I can't kill anything. :(

Bow Down In The Presence Of His Likeness

Wondergirl · Jul 30, 2012, 02:56 PM

Then this religion already exists: Jainism. We're thousands of years too late.

I love it!

That's exactly how I pictured him!

That is GooBoo! :)

Thanks Ben.

His legs are too skinny to eat.

Exactly! We did that on purpose! Now people won't be tempted to eat the newest God.

All hail GooBoo!

I'm going to start writing the GooBoo bible. Be afraid. Be very afraid. ;)

Alty · Jul 30, 2012, 03:16 PM

LMAO! Jared just read this thread.

He is now sitting beside me chanting "GooBoo Bruhaha!" over and over again. :)

GooBoo is going to be a huge hit. :)

Wondergirl · Jul 30, 2012, 03:26 PM

May I write a few hymns? I'm a preacher's kid and used to play "church" with my dollies and stuff animals (and attended church even if I was nearly dead with illness).

Alty · Jul 30, 2012, 03:32 PM

Of course you can write hymns. In fact, add whatever you want to this religion.

That's what I love about GooBoo. If you have anything to add, He wants to hear it. He's open to anything. Okay, anything but eating frogs or bunnies. After all, I do control him, for now. ;)

What are YOU going to go to further this? I don't want to do all the work. *whine*

I'm writing a GooBoo bible. Wait for it. It's in the works. The Earth wasn't created in a day, and this bible won't be either. Give me at least 2 days. :)

Here's some cheese to go with your "whine". :)
