Even little mice pray!

Uh... okaaaay....
*backs away slowly*
xmx you have won the Internet. Please keep it clear of fundies, oh and my broadband is a bit intermittent so could you fix that as well....
The mouse was probably praying to be released from captivity.
Well... it isn't really fundie, or intolerant, or stupid, or insane, it is just kinda cute. We all know mice don't actually pray, but this isn't the Fundie I am looking for.
Sadly, even if he's accepted Jesus as his personal saviour, he'll never go to Heaven. No matter how much praying he does, or how deep his faith is.
Fortunately, you have the assurance of a flat earth tome that thinks pi equals three and that bats are insects, that things are different for you.
Good gods, woman, you're delusional. By the standards of your own religion, anyway; I've always found the fact that Christians believe everything not human is destined for oblivion/hell/Wisconsin one of the most repulsive things about the religion - a perfect little mix of entitled snobbery and insecure clinging.
Maybe it was "please don't let this fundie take me home, I don't want scripture read to me all fucking day."
Yeah, cute. Dumb, but cute,
"Dear God, I'm a mouse in a cage. If I escape, I can look forward to being tortured, killed and eaten by a predator. If I stay, I can look forward to eating and shitting, and running on a wheel at all hours of the night until the squeaking drives my owner nuts and he or she does something violent. If there's a male mouse in the cage, I'll get humped repeatedly and mauled for nourishment by brood after brood of hungry little pencil erasers. God? Are you there? Please just kill me now?"
Something like that, I imagine, if mice actually had the cranial capacity for human thought. Speaking of which, Tori, you're proof that just having the capacity does not imply proper use thereof.

Hmmmmmm, it appears there's a conflict of interest.
"She was sitting on her hind legs, eyes closed and her two tiny front paws folded in prayer."
Rodents often sit like this. Where the hell have you been?
"At the mice cage there was this one really pretty little black and white mouse. She was sitting on her hind legs, eyes closed and her two tiny front paws folded in prayer"
And next to said cage, with the key in his possession:

ToriNoell, you lot on Ruptured Retards have a long way to go to overtake the phenomenon that is LOLcats.
And may Ceiling Cat have mercy on your souls.
@dionysus
That kitteh willhasmouseburger.
attributing the typical behavior of common household rodents to them praying like good little christians? gag me with a spoon. this is SO FUNDIE, even if this person isn't being serious.
i'm sorry, but aside from trolling, there's no other way such an idea could come from someone on RR without it being the product of a fundamentalist's warped mind.
ChurchMouse84722:
Even giants eat seeds!
Christine O'Donell , is that you?
Did these mice start praying after all those pesky medical experiments were they grew human brains on mice, Christine?
We really need to bring back the awards, this one is a shoe-in for the Cutest Fundie award ^^"
And while we're on the topic of praying animals:

"Please God, give me a mate. A tasty one, if you can."
I wonder if it wasn't a pagan mouse?
There is a temple on the island of Tenedos dedicated to Apollo Smintheus, the Mouse God. According to Clyde Keeler* the cult of Apollo Smintheus thrived for 3,000 years. It all began when soldiers from Crete invaded Asia Minor and were victorious because mice had gnawed through the leather straps of their enemies’ shields.
Living in the temple were strange creatureswhite mice. They scampered unmolested throughout the temple and were used to predict the future. According to Pliny “By the learning of soothsayers, observed it is, that if there be a store of white ones bred it is a good signe and presageth prosperitie.”
Oh, and here's something even worse from a little later in the thread. From the same fundie:
Jesus wuvs the widdle mousies, all the mousies of the world.
Ugh, what a stomach Tori must have.
I've kept mice as pets, and they're certainly cute little animals. One of the things I've taken from them is how much they're like other mammals. They twitch their legs in their sleep just like dogs. They even occasionally make little squeaking sounds in their sleep. Turtles never do that. For me, unlike the RR crowd, they convince me of evolution and the essential similarity of all mammals.
@macavitykitsune
Why the Wisconsin hate?
@Canadia, I think MacavityKitsune was making a reference to [i]Dogma[/i] .
Bethany: Were they sent to Hell?
What about snakes? How about a home with CBB snakes? :)
Not fundie, possibly troll, but just normal weird talk.
I don't see this one fundie, even if the person themselves are. Other people assume silly things with animals all the time, and I've seen perfectly not-fundie people look at animals that do the same thing and go "d'aw, it looks like it's praying."
This is too sweet to mock!
But there ARE kittehs in Heaven.
The economic downturn is not only global; it's also affecting the after life. So, in a move to cut costs, Mouse Hell has been combined with Cat Heaven.
@Chatvert
"@Canadia, I think MacavityKitsune was making a reference to Dogma."
Or for we worshippers of Ceiling Cat, "Catma"
And Lars von Trier can take his 'Dogme' for a walk, and start making proper films, with proper set designs and visual effects.

"D'awww ... That's pretty sweet, even if the poster's attached a massive dose of anthropomorphism to it."
In that case, ToriNoell's mind would be blown if she ever saw Don Bluth's "An American Tail" (featuring Jewish mice no less!)& his first film "Secret of Nimh" - or Disney's "The Rescuers"*:

*- Or the sequel "The Rescuers Down Under", one of those rarities, along with "Aliens" - a sequel that's better than the original.
Aw, c'mon. She's just telling a cute story. It's silly and saccharine (though tastes vary), but not delusional. I really doubt she believes the mouse was praying.
I mean, yeah, if she's a regular poster on RR she probably has some wierd ideas, but this particular post doesn't demonstrate them. It's like quoting an RR person saying "I like chocolate", then claiming, "Yeah, but if she posted it on RR, then she's a FUNDIE who likes chocolate, so it's still worth quoting here."
I would like to disagree with everyone who says this shouldn't be here.
Yes, it's not that fundie, but it is funny, which is something the mainpage has been severely lacking. One can only take so much hate, you know?
MICE. ARE. NOT. SENTIENT!
They cannot pray, they do not have individual thoughts.
Though that is kind of adorable.
Tori, are you sure it didn't see you coming and facepalmed?image
You sure it wasn't actually taking a nap? I've never actually seen or heard of mice napping while sitting on their hind legs, but hey, maybe they do.
And I second Anon-e-moose's opinion on "The Rescuers down Under."
@Elia
And not just for the improved animation quality & techniques, certainly the storyline, compared with the 1977 original (although that in itself was superb; "The Rescuers" was bigger than "Star Wars" in France!). Fact is, any film featuring George C. Scott (in this case voicing the villain 'Percival McLeach') guarantees the film he's in permaWINS.
Uh...eating?...Sleeping?
I know it looks cute (Look, it's 'praying', cute!) but you are really strange.
If you're just being "cute" I'll give you a pass, though...I shouldn't judge...
"At the mice cage there was this one really pretty little black and white mouse. She was sitting on her hind legs, eyes closed and her two tiny front paws folded in prayer. Cutest thing ever!!!! I wonder what she was praying, "oh, please Jesus let me find a good home where there are no kittehs."
If all pets, and not just dogs, go to heaven*, then poor ol' mousie is fucked:

>:3 =^_^=
*- Another fine film by Don Bluth (pbuh). Oh, and if you're wondering about the above catgirls, they're Lotte & Aria, the Lieze Twins from the anime series "Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha A's".
Alright, even though this is a fundie, even though I shouldn't say this to feed the fundie hate/love machine, even though this person is ignorant...awwwwww
Do you pray crouched, licking your paws and freezing when you feel threatened?
Have you never seen a rodent before?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
