And the two shall become one, uh, flesh?

So what does it take to please your god? My God is pleased with me because I have faith in Him. Other gods, not so much. Here’s a story from Bangladesh about some Hindus who have some interesting ways to petition their false god. (one of millions of gods they recognize, by the way). Frog Wedding

So, what exactly would a frog wedding look like? What about the vows? What sort of gifts do you give frogs? “Mr and Mrs. Frog, on behalf of the people of our village and in honor of your marriage, we would like to bestow upon you this bag of house flies.” What kind of scene is that anyway? Can you imagine 250 people gathering for the wedding ceremony. Do you dress up for that occasion? What do the bride and groom wear? Is dancing allowed at a frog wedding reception because it isn’t at a Baptist one, you know. I find the whole scenario ribbitting....riveting.

So many questions I have about this thing. Can you imagine how busy you would be trying to petition as many as 300 million gods for this or that as the Hindus do. I’m grateful that my faith pleases my God and that without faith it is impossible to please Him.
