Not the
words of some bearded extremist but the words of me, a currently
clean-shaven extremist. Actually it should have been Christians are
like dogs as that is the crass simile I'm going to attempt to justify
in this post, however the title may bring much-needed wrong-kind-of
attention to this hopeless blog from the rat-like hordes of atheists
sniffing through the internet looking for untruth to be offended by.
Hopefully. Maybe I'll be really lucky and some Christian
victimization junkies will turn up too. Don't worry! I like your
religion and was brought up in a nation founded and united by
Christianity. I particularly like the forgiveness bit as I think that
may be ahead of its time even now. I do kind of feel that that bit
doesn't get stressed enough and most Christians view their religion
as some sort of Death Wish-style revenge-thriller. 'They killed his
son but now it's Judgement Day.' Still, not my problem. As I've
previously stated I'm a Koosist. You're all fucking atheists to me.
None of you have seen the true nature of the light that is lovingly
curled around the darkness. Om!
Anyway
before we proceed you have to watch this film or you might miss the
point. All of it! If you can't read the subtitles apparently there's
an inferior American version with Richard Gere but I bet it hasn't
got the extremely significant bit near the end where the soldiers
march past or if it does they probably won't be Japanese soldiers. If
you don't like dogs (or Japanese people) then you're probably not
going to be that impressed with this*:
If you are
such a person or really, really can't be bothered to watch this film
then just look at the picture under the title. This is is, of course,
Greyfriars Bobby, the loyal little dog who sat by his master's grave
till the end of his days.
If you did
watch the film, stop crying. I don't think I'm too way off in my
comparison. A hint is the fact that the wedding takes place in a
Church. Christian are dogs. Good, loyal doggies waiting by the
station for their kind master to return and he does, in the end.
Now I'm sorry to come over all Brian Dunning on you but the truth about Greyfriars Bobby is that he was a bit of a myth cooked up for commercial interests aned the root of the story is that stray dogs found they were more likely to get fed if they hung around graveyards looking sad. I'm not sure if the same is true of the Hachi story. Koosism has its own dog story too, that of Peepers the grumpy dog. For another day...
