God spelled backward is dog.
Dog spelled backward is God.
How equal are dog and God?
LESS DOG, MORE GOD
By Uriah J. Fields
God spelled backward is dog and dog spelled backward is God. Shakespeare extolling man exclaimed, "How like a god." Today, the exclaimation might well be "How like a dog." For many people the dog has become more than a household word..He is a household occupant or resident, a pet that dwells inside the home and an intimate partner to his owner with bed-sharing privileges. The dog is embraced and accepted to be man's best friend." More of a friend than the Creator of both man and the dog. Although the dog is referred to many times in the Bible but never as a pet. But rather as a protector of sheep or night watchman of the house.
How many dogs are too many? Americans with a human population of 322.2 million own approximately 70 to 80 million dogs, 37 to 47 percent of all households of the global human popoulation of 7.2 billion owning 900 milloin dogs. The United Sfates is third in human population, about 5% of the world's population, after India and China with most people, owns appproximsely 10% of the world's dog population.
While most domesticaed dogs in America claim pet status, they often serve other purposes and function as search dog, attack dog and fighting dog.
At least 4.5 to 4.7 millon Ameircans are bitten by dogs each year. About 300 people bitten by dogs die annually, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The cost of owning a dog include veterinary care and may consists of neuter, euthanize, dog shelters, dog sitters and much more.
Many apartment dwellers own dogs and they are a source of many complaints made by people who are dissatified with having to live in close proximity with dogs. Some of their complaints are justified. Some apartment landlords do not rent to dog owners. The question being asked more often than before is: "Has America gone to the dogs?"
Has people's attanchment to dogs, their intimate relationsihp with dogs and their affection for dogs made dogs their idols that replaced God as the object or subject of their supreme affection? The Protestant Reformation leader Martin Luther reminds us to "Let God be God." In some homes the dog receives more affection and loving-tender care than any other creature in that home. Many dog owners expect other people to acknowledge and even relate affectionately to their dogs. It is much more welcoming by some dog owners for people to talk about their dogs than to talk about God. God forbid that humans esteem dogs more than they do the Creator of dogs and the dogs' owners.
"How like a god?" "A dog is man's best friend." "Have we gone to the dogs?" Ponder these things.
My best friend can never be a dog. My best freind is God who first loved me and Who I love most. A dog is a long way down from second on my list of friends.
Dogs, genetically are pack animals. The reason they bond quickly to humans is because of their natural instinct of joining the pack. People love their dogs because they do not talk back and will endure all kinds of terrible treatment and still be faithful to whoever "owns" them by this bond. People love the idea of talking to what seems like, a loving companion, and getting no backtalk.
However, it's hard for people to talk to God, because God is never there--except in movies--to talk to. And, unlike a dog that is very good at giving empathetic gestures to almost anything someone might say, God never responds except in, perhaps, some minds that think they heard God tell them something in delusion.
In short, I would call this article humorous and sad. Humorous because it does compare an animal with God, a superior being, and sad because, like you wrote, what is real, a dog, is considered lesser than something that isn't real--God.
I met Jerome on a busy city street in Baltimore, Maryland, when he was forty-five years old. On that particular day, I was out and about, enjoying a much-needed day off from work.
I wanted to purchase a sukiyaki sub. I parked my car in an area of
Eight e-books regarding Pathological Narcissism, relationships with abusive
