Default Origin

I received this in an email this morning and thought it to be right on target.

A newly discovered chapter in the Book of Genesis has provided the answer
to "Where do pets come from?"

Adam and Eve said, "Lord, when we were in the garden, you walked with us
every day. Now we do not see you any more. We are lonesome here, and it is
difficult for us to remember how much you love us." And God said, "No
problem! I will create a companion for you that will be with you forever and
who will be a reflection of my love for you, so that you will love me even
when you cannot see me. Regardless of how selfish or childish or unlovable
you may be, this new companion will accept you as you are and will love you
as I do, in spite of yourselves." And God created a new animal to be a
companion for Adam and Eve.

And it was a good animal. And God was pleased. And the new animal was
pleased to be with Adam and Eve and he wagged his tail. And Adam said,
"Lord, I have already named all the animals in the Kingdom and I cannot
think of a name for this new animal." And God said, "No problem. Because I
have created this new animal to be a reflection of my love for you, his name
will be a reflection of my own name, and you will call him DOG." And Dog
lived with Adam and Eve and was a companion to them and loved them. And
they were comforted. And God was pleased. And Dog was content and wagged
his tail. After a while, it came to pass that an angel came to the Lord and
said, "Lord, Adam and Eve have become filled with pride. They strut and
preen like peacocks and they believe they are worthy of adoration. Dog has
indeed taught them that they are loved, but perhaps too well." And God
said, "No problem! I will create for them a companion who will be with them
forever and who will see them as they are. The companion will remind them of
their limitations, so they will know that they are not always worthy of
adoration." And God created CAT to be a companion to Adam and Eve. And Cat
would not obey them. And when Adam and Eve gazed into Cat's eyes, they were
reminded that they were not the supreme beings. And Adam and Eve learned
humility. And they were greatly improved. And God was pleased. And Dog
was happy.



And Cat didn't give a **** one way or the other.
