Bad News for Atheist-Vegetarians...

holy_eggplant_8-13-2007.JPGEggplant is a versatile vegetable. Its many uses include:

Eggplant Parmesan.
Baba ghanoush.
Eggplant fries.
Crostini with roasted eggplant spread.
Eggplant caponata.
Eggplant rollatini.
Getting a shout out from God.

A woman who recently lost some family members found consolation in her refrigerator's crisper. According to 6ABC, the woman was preparing dinner Sunday evening (apparently the Sabbath for eggplant, as well as for Christians), when one of the slices appeared to spell out Bob Saget's real name in seeds.

It is important to note that God has never officially taken sides in the debate over the health and animal-cruelty issues surrounding the meat industry. People who choose to abstain from eating the muscle tissue of His creatures or consuming the dairy products that are derived from their milk-spewing teats have generally had even representation among the godly and the godless.

However, the news has come as a shock among atheist-vegetarians. This niche group has reacted in earnest. A member of the Atheist-Vegetarian (AV) Club, who requested anonymity due to fears of his group being confused with high school audio-visual (AV) clubs around the nation, says of the recent discovery:

"It is most likely a right-wing attack on our godless and meatless morals. Clearly the evangelical carnivores of this good country are conspiring against our right not to have salvation shoved down our throats in our vegan-Italian fusion cuisine."

The woman and her husband apparently spared the sacred slice from consumption, possibly with the hope that they might plant a goodly and godly garden.
