If we assume that the Bible alone reveals God's will we must acknowledge that there are many ethical issues the Bible does not discuss.

You know, that might explain where my copy of 'The God Delusion' went. I better check Pepper's cage...

The non-existence of ceiling-cat will come as a relief to many of us posters.

But, but, there are PICTURES of ceiling cat! Of course, he looks different in each one of them, but that's the, um, variable nature of ceiling cat, that he is all things to all species. And he has made many pronouncements! They are written down in the sacred texts of icanhascheezburger!
F'ing apostates.

My 'tiels* have some thoughts on all this
They say, "Wait, God doesn't exist?"
And then they both say
(while the cat is away)
"Feed me or we'll bite off your wrist."
I wonder if they'd feel the same
(or would I just be changing the game)
Would they call me a sinner,
if, when the cat needed dinner
I'd forgotten to secure their cage?
God's where you want him to be.
In a book, in the air, on TV.
One thing I don't get:
Am I God to my pets?
I hope not; that thought terrifies me.

Well, my cat actually, who is god of his own universe in this house, often looks up at our ceiling fans with terror, as if they are some sort of bird about to swoop down and carry him away. Must be something in his genes, I figure...
