There are some parrots that have very high linguistic skills and perhaps they could collect in their brain and carry from one moment to another the teaching of the penal substitutionary atonement?
Dolphins? Whales? Chimpanzees? Dogs? I have seen some YouTube videos that make me genuinely concerned about the vicious nature of their behavior, and it is definitely worthwhile to find out how we can annoint them with the justifying blood of Christ shed on Calvary. I think inter-species evangelism will be the next frontier in the Christian missions movement.

I think the ASPCA might have a problem with you throwing blood on dogs, Ceridwen.
Then they'll start the ASPCA.
I'd be curious to see her try to pull the "anoint them with the justifying blood of Christ" thing with sharks :P
You must be a troll. To begin with, your name is one of a Pagan Goddess, a sow to be more precise(is it there where your interspices Gospel began?), and second, are you really sure you distinguish between intelligence and AWARENESS, CONSCIENCE?. Really, sometimes I shake when fundies insist that we´re not animals, that we rule over them, but the opposite looks even freakier.
Another brainer from a bible thumper! Chalk another one up for total stupidity!
Don't look now, but the guy who's most famous for suggesting that humans are different from animals in extent, but not in kind, was Charles Darwin.
...that's because they're dogs, dolphins, whales and chimps, you doof. They're not as nicey nice as ignorant people like to believe. Since when does the bible advise converting animals?
Yea, you gotta watch out for those vicious dolphins. /eyeroll
I'm in sky blue.convert lions . Note the word "tried" (he was mauled).
I think inter-species evangelism will be the next frontier in the Christian missions movement.
While you pathetic Christians try to figure out how to convert dogs and dolphins to your religion I will have an entire army of Satan-worshipping cats! Mwa ha ha! Mwa ha ha! Come here Middens!
Me-hail Satan!
Good bye you guys! I have to go deconvert my cat!
Heh. It's a stupid line of reasoning, but I do have one thing I've always been curious about. When they taught those apes sign language, they turned out to be very intelligent, and we learned a lot about their thought processes. I was just sorry that no one ever asked them if they had any concept of a higher being (outside of anything that had been taught them, that is.) Just out of curiosity. Whatever the answer, it would have been a fascinating question. To proselytize them is obviously wrong-headed and stupid; but I was wondering if these highly intelligent creatures had any ideas is all.
I hope she starts witnessing to animals, and someone posts a video of it on YouTube or Google Video. That way, we will all have one more reason to laugh at religious nutters.

Dude, I've seen some seriously fucked-up behavior from animals (especially predators), but none of the cruelest-by-our-standards toying with prey can even begin to approach the level of fucked-upness that humans due to other humans in the name of religion or race or ideology or whatever . Our differences from other animals ("in extent, not kind", definitely) enable some unique endeavors in the realm of "seriously fucked-up shit".
This reminds me of a joke.
A Baptist missionary was walking in Africa when he heard the ominous padding of a lion behind him. "Oh Lord," prayed the missionary, "Grant in Thy goodness that the lion walking behind me is a good Christian lion."
And then, in the silence that followed, the missionary heard the lion

Hey dumbass! Animals have no concept of god, if one even exists. <<
I'm not sure if the chimps do or not. God as Ceridwen likely means it is a pretty abstract concept. On the other hand, Kanzi, a bonobo resident of the Great Ape Trust, has reached new heights in Human Studies by learning how to roast marshmallows and play Pacman.
Which is harder for him: having an idea of God, or roasting marshmallows?
I don't know.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
