Then there's those folks who abstain from crystal ball gazing, feeling the future is uncertain, unknowable, unguessable and what's the use anyway:
quote:"(The media) are an effete corps of impudent snobs, a tiny fraternity of privileged men elected by no one and enjoying a monopoly sanctioned and licensed by the government. They are nattering nabobs of negativism." --Alleged to have been said by Spiro T. Agnew
Dear God, How come people love to smell flowers, but seldom, if ever, smell one another? What are they thinking?
Dear God, When we get to Heaven, can we sit on your couch? Or is it the same old story?
Dear God, Excuse me, but why are there cars named after the jaguar, the cougar, the mustang, the colt, the stingray, and the rabbit, but not one named for a dog? How often do you see a cougar riding around? We dogs love a nice ride! I know every breed cannot have its own model, but it would be easy to rename the Chrysler Eagle the Chrysler Beagle!
Dear God, If a dog barks his head off in the forest and no human hears him, is he still a bad dog?
Dear God, Is it true that in Heaven, dining room tables have onramps?
Dear God, More meatballs, less spaghetti, please.
Dear God, When we get to the Pearly Gates, do we have to shake hands to get in?
Dear God, We dogs can understand human verbal instructions, hand signals, whistles, horns, clickers, beepers, scent IDs, electromagnetic energyfields, and Frisbee flight paths. What do humans understand?
Dear God, Are there dogs on other planets, or are we alone? I have been howling at the moon and stars for a long time, but all I ever hear back is the beagle across the street.
Dear God, Are there mailmen in Heaven? If there are, will I have to apologize?
Dear God, When my family eats dinner they always bless their food. But they never bless mine. So, I've been wagging my tail extra fast when they fill my bowl. Have you noticed my own blessing?
Dear God, I've always lived at the shelter and I have everything I need. But many of the dogs here have names and I don't. Could you give me a name please? It would be good for my self-esteem.
Dear God, The new terrier I live with just peed on the Oriental rug and I have a feeling my family might blame me 'cuz they think I'm jealous of this stupid dog. Since they have no sense of smell, how can I convince them I'm innocent? Does PetsMart sell lie detectors?

I think we should all give a historical nod to the ancient Egyptian Akhenostics, who really weren't all that sure about Aten being the one and only god.

Then there's Acorngnostics, who are unsure of the existence of acorns.
Serious note: Squirrels should be discouraged from this line of thinking - disbelief, uncertainty or doubt about a diet staple can have deadly consequences! So don't go talking young impressionable squirrels into doubting the existence of acorns. It's not funny.
Spinning them off the feeders is bad enough. (No innocent looks - you know who you are.)

And then there are the Ecrunostics, who are unsure of the existance of the "color" ecru. They assert that it's really off-white, and only silly romantics who have a need to believe in something call it ecru.

Exgnostics are an interesting case. These individuals seem to suspend belief in their ex-spouses. Needless to say, it's a totally unsupportable position when alimony is involved. Not to mention visitation.

Askgnostics aren't convinced that questioning is something that is useful or relevant. And if you aren't sure about questions, there's no reason to worry about answers.

Aknockknockgnostics: Very ambivalent about opening the door to strangers. Often the butt of jokes.

Apegnostics: 1. Humans who are uncertain about the existence of apes. 2. Apes who are uncertain about the existence of of a Supreme (or Primary) Primate. See also: Apetheists

I wish there were some aknockknockJOKEgnostics. Maybe if enough people questioned their existence they would cease to exist. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

quote: Not believe in Dagonee! You might as well not believe in fairies. ... Nobody sees Dagonee, but that is no sign that there is no Dagonee. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that's no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world.
