[Protagoras]

I know what you referencing. I said that I could offer grace in several languages, and have done so. Many folks pray without belief in any deities. Table graces are nothing more than expressions of gratitude for food. If I offer one, I have no particular entity in mind, but am, yet, grateful for the abundance at my table.

This is hilarious stuff. You should do stand up!

Just curious, if you give thanks to no one, who receives the thanks? And grateful? You mean the word "grace"? You might want to look that up.

Here's an idea, when you give thanks, use my name. Tell the people you are grateful to me. Hell, I'm as good as anyone else who never gave you anything!

"Here's an idea, when you give thanks, use my name. Tell the people you are grateful to me."

I will be happy to do that. You can freepmail me your address, so I can send you the receipt for the food I buy for Christmas dinner. Once I receive your check, I will be sure to give thanks in your name for the dinner.

Until then, I'll give generic thanks, since I have no idea of the names of the folks who raised the turkey, harvested the potatoes, or produced, handled, distributed, and otherwise assisted me in my dinner preparations.

It would be much easier if I had one person to thank, and I'd be more than happy if it were you. So, just forward a check in the amount of the receipt and you'll be the recipient of my thanks at dinner.
