Remind me of lasagna and cottage cheese, respectively. You know how some words remind you of certain foods? "Athiest" makes me taste lasagna, spaghetti, and italian food in general. "Christian" tastes like cottage cheese. "Jesus" reminds me of tomato soup.

Italian food is awesome. Of course it would be associated with atheism.

Christians don't taste like cottage cheese, though. Don't ask me how I know.

As sick and bizarre as that seems at first glance I think I actually know what you mean.

Certain abstract concepts are connected to food in my mind. Though not religion.
In my mind the map of Europe is a mosaic of cake and ice cream. Germany is chocolate, Sweden is vanilla, and other countries are vaguely asociated with other flavors.

Gold, and jewels, and shiny things, are connected to fruits. And vice versa.

Any of you who deny that Zeus is the king of the Gods and the hurler of lightning is an atheist.

When I was about 5 I went through a sort of religious indoctrination phase while sick while flu and pneumonia. While laid down, my parents read me Bible stories from a Jehovah's Witness Bible story book (we weren't even JWs :?: )

I'll tell you what, those stories are not a good thing to read to a kid while they are sick with fever and doped up out of their minds, but anyways.

I was being read some of the stories, but I was more interested in the pictures. One of the pictures show Jesus and I was looking at his sandals. I said, "Hey mom, Jesus is wearing flip-flops like you are!"

My mom was wearing flip-flops. I'm not sure how we transitioned into it, but she started singing with me the song Ham and Eggs. When we got to the "flip-flop flip-flop" part, I thought about Jesus's and my mom's flip-flops. But then I started thinking about pancakes being flipped and flip-flops. Maybe I wanted some pancakes? But the image of Jesus and pancakes never left me.

Oh the things you can think.

I believe in pancakes, because I have seen them with my own eyes and read about them in scientific literature.
Specifically, I recall that someone took exception to the statement that Kansas was as flat as a pancake. They showed that by comparing texture and relative size, Kansas is significantly flatter than a pancake.

I don't know if this is Jesus related at all.

Wow...that means I qualify! I just happen to disbelieve in one less God than some others here.

Strange, I've always thought it would be pretty easy for a rush of syrup to cover Kansas.
