Actually Davey & Goliath were Lutherans.

Off topic -- If anything can be off topic on a laugh thread. Serious question about something I really don't know about. Are these the guys who play with rattlesnakes? Cheers, PW

Even the seemingly Christian-friendly Davey and Goliath is to be avoided...surely the concept of a talking dog is blasphemous to them thar Southern baptists! :-) Perhaps; witness what happened in one case... Luke, from a small town in southern Mississippi, has been sent off to college up north at great expense to his Pa, and he's the first local boy to make it to college. He finds himself in some financial trouble over card games, however, and he can't bring himself to tell his Pa that, so: "Pa, the scientists up here at this college are really amazin' -- they can teach a dog how to read! If you can send Blue up here with a thousand dollars, I'll get him fixed up in the readin' program." The $1,000 arrives, along with the family's treasured bloodhound. A few weeks go by: "Pa, Blue is doin' real well in the readin' program, and I just found out that they can teach him to talk, too. He'll be able to talk about what he's been reading! Can you send another thousand dollars?" More weeks go by, and it's now time to return home for a visit. Luke and Blue board the train to go home, and at each stop Luke is more nervous about what he's going to tell Pa. At the last stop before home, he takes Blue out behind the station house and shoots him, then gets back on the train. The train pulls into the hometown station, where Luke sees a hand-lettered banner across Main Street saying "Welcome Home Blue!" His Pa hugs him, and looks around on the platform for his dog. "Where's Blue, son? I been dying to talk to him about all the things we done together!" "Well, Pa, it's like this. I was shavin' this morning, and Blue was sittin' on the toilet readin' the Wall Street Journal, when he looked over at me and said 'Is yore pa still shackin' up with that red-headed waitress down at the diner?" "What! I hope you SHOT that lyin' bastard!" Level Head
