Get your own guide god
April 3rd, 2009 at 9:00 am by David FarrarStuff reports:
A puppy called Halo did official duty today as Prime Minister John Key helped support the annual Red Puppy Appeal.
The Royal New Zealand Foundation of the Blind appeal aims to raise a $1 million a year for guide gods – a service not supported by the state.
Well as a secular state, one would expect the state not not provide any guide gods.
If one can get a choice of guide gods, I’d quite like a Sif.

You already got your own guiding god: your brain.
Forget about the old myth of religions and omnipotent gods. All of us have it over your shoulders and it’s all a matter of exercising it.

Manolo my brain tells me that the Liberal Left permits anything except Christianity because Christianity is the root of Western culture and the Marxists intend to control that culture. This Godless Nation is a seething pit of lies, for example Miss Klark!

Yes, I’d like a Sif, too. She’s Marvel-lous.

There is something devine here. The then Vicar of the Upper Clutha Parish pointed out in his news sheet some years back that Dog is God spelt backwards. And also noting that Tekapo and Edinburgh and probably other places have memorials to dogs.

Re dogs……There was once a cricketer who owned a little dog whom his mates called “Larwood”……it was because he had four short legs and his balls swung both ways! ;-0
Those who don’t get it ask the cricket nut in your life to expalin it to you….

Anyway no ones life is “complete” untill they’re dead, “incomplete” should be a goal.

There are plenty of swearings over the bible and prayers to the Judeo-Christian god in our house of representatives and our Law Courts. There are religious holidays, and a giant illuminated Christian icon glaring away on top of Mt Victoria for part of the year.
I think it’s pretty obvious that the state DOES have a sanctioned God. And it’s pretty obvious which one it is….

“Manolo my brain tells me that the Liberal Left permits anything except Christianity because Christianity is the root of Western culture and the Marxists intend to control that culture. This Godless Nation is a seething pit of lies, for example Miss Klark!”
D4J,
That is an absolutley outstanding post and nothing is more truer.
Obviously, Marx said religion is the opiate of the people and the communists destroy culture and religion in a move to have personless drones to control.
And I couldn’t believe clarks talk of going to the UN to spread democrary to third world states. she tried everything she could to suppress democracy here! and she gets lauded for that! and she tells the country NZ is a Godless nation which its not. Whe politicians can speak for an entire nation like that as if the populations business is state controlled, well its not far off.
How many socialist nations are going to feel the benefit of the UN with Clark involved. She’ll be lunching with Chavez and Castro. And joking and boasting about the communist state she nearly turned us into.
