Divine search phrases
Welcome to a special edition of “replying” to search queries about religious topics – and a little mysticism is included, too…
Fot those who don’t know yet: These search phrases, highlighted in grey, led people here, and I neither shortened nor extended them nor made them up, I just translated the German ones. Conveniently, they can form a real dialog (if you arrange them as needed, as I did), which I emphasised with long dashes “—”.
I know your in heaven smiling down every day we pray for you — Think about it, does it make sense (even from the point of view of a deeply religious person) to pray for someone who is already in heaven? — Think? Don’t want to do that; see, that’s why I believe! 
God… — Which one? You can find yourself a god, believe in which one you want cause dont you know there all the same, they just go by different names. — People try and tell that its crazy: weird look at the wall for 10 seconds and you will see god — Yeah, that’s really weird, downright insane. I got a better idea: look up at me and you’ll see your god! And as a god, I’ll answer a few questions:
Oh lord is i in heaven? — No, not in English, but the German word for “heaven”, “Himmel”, does indeed contain an “i”.
God why won’t you let me sell my house? — ’cause you’re living in a church, that’s why!
Oh lord wont you by me a monkey? — What banalities should a god be in charge of?? And you certainly won’t get a monkey: monkeys are evil, they remind too much of evolution! 
What’s the point of living if we know were gonna die one day? Speak o lord as we come to you! — You woudln’t need a god to find an answer: to live, of course! — till the end of my days o lord? — Right-o!
Lord i know that i’m in your hands and you won’t let go — Don’t be so sure about that – that’s also what a free climber said when folding his hands to pray… …and thud!
My god why is my heart so cold? — Wait a moment, im searching for an angel to bring me your heart, then I’ll have a closer look.
I did some science and im feeling’ fine — Fine, you’re getting better!
how numerology help our science and technology — But not with such a crap as numerology! — *sheepishly* trees numerology? numerology hyphen value? — Stop it, that’s anything but science, that’s bullshit!
Speaking of bullshit:
pierre franckh wishing bullshit? — Yes! (he’s a small German Rhonda Byrne, if you will)
That’s it – and as closing words for today:
Why be a nobody in heaven when you can be a star in hell?
Having a ball, marketing-wise
Oh, a thick envelope from an unknown sender in my mailbox – with something inside feeling like make of plastic with a valve to inflate it. Is that yet another marketing gag with more or less useful objects (we remember the razor/discount cellphone/toothbrush parcel campaign for something by Tchibo, later seized by others), with the sender hoping that as many blogs as possible mention it? Shall we really do them this favor?
Now who is the sender? Aha, a web hoster I didn’t know yet. (So one goal accomplished…) With 100% in customer ratings at Webhostlist. Well, my hoster, all-inkl.com [affiliate link], got 100% too. 
But of course wo open this envelope, curious as we are. What is appearing? A red and transparent inflatable beach ball with the hoster’s web address on it. So certainly no mysterious deeper meanings involved.
Of course I’m not the only recipient: MoehBlog, Blogspan, NetzNews (all German), and who knows who else may follow…
The way the valve is looking at us…
…it’s right, flat like that, no ball looks good. So take a deep breath… … … and get up (it’s hot here!), fetch the balloon pump from the cabinet, and:
…it really looks better this way.
Better than the accompanying ad banner on their website:
Which translates to: “Promotion offer! / You save up to / On all webspace packages / 0€ setup fee”.
“Save up to” how much? Up to 0 € setup fee? (And yes, it was a static image, no animated one that might show the sum later on.) Maybe they should work on that banner… Update 10:20 pm: The did, as I just noticed: “up to 50%”.
Well, thanks for the ball and for giving me another topic for a blog post.
With certificate and stuff…
Sorry for joining everybody else in writing a post about Firefox 3 whose download world record attempt timeframe lasts until, well, either 18:16 UTC, or 17:00 UTC as the German version of that page says (as of this writing)…
I wanted to use this opportunity to thank the creators for making such a super great participation certificate (see my image on the right) which is perfectly suited to be put in every store window and on every wall (every wall in every room!) in at least A2 size so you can feel really, really proud and flaunt it to everybody!
