OK, this is going to get my butt toasted, but I just received http://www.eakles.com/god_is_like.html in my e-mail today for the umpteenth time. It’s kinda cute, I guess, but later, while washing dishes, my infernal mind got to wandering and I began thinking of non sequiters like…
God is like…
Palmolive. You’re soaking in him!
Texaco. He gives you that 5 tank feeling!
Meow Mix. Cats ask for him by name!
What else can the Teeming Millions (those who don’t mind risking their eternal souls for a little goofy fun) come up with?
The link I posted is to a web site that features a piece of glurge using popular advertising slogans to describe God (for example, “God is a little like Bayer Aspirin: He works wonders. God is a little like Hallmark Cards: He cared enough to send the very best. God is a little like Tide: He gets out the stains that others leave behind.”) In response, I was being snotty and making up irreverant non-sequitors that don’t mean anything (or at least paint a portrait of a very peculiar diety).
I’m having trouble of thinking of any that aren’t actually glurge worthy at the moment, though.
I am beyond sickened by this page. I can’t stand how normal adults can be reduced to the prose of an eight year old. WAIT that was my antipathy to my southern baptist upbringing rearing its ugly head again.
Looking back, I feel I need to explain my pathetic attempt at humor further.
I was shooting for “love is like oxygen”–you know, the song?
It just was the first thing I thought of when I saw “God is like…”
Not that I have anything against the religious (well, i sorta do), but it annoys me to be confused with one, having been a godless heathen for so long.
BTW: …pimentos. You never understand why he’s put into certain dishes, especially salads.
