A FROG that constantly changes colour is being worshipped as a GOD
But I bet it tastes just like chicken.



The frog was a dazzling WHITE colour when Reji, from Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, first spotted it.
Then it changed to YELLOW and had gone GREY by the time he got it home.
Lift worker Reji added: “By night the frog was dark yellow, and then it became transparent so you could see its internal organs.
"It seemed like a miracle to me that this frog had so many different coats. So now people come to see him and pray to him

1. The last sentence completely throws me.
Blah blah, cool frog, blah, changes colors, blah

So now people come to see him and pray to him.

Dayum.

That doesn't mean he's God or anything.

3. The professor is going to collect the frog and study it
Poor little fellow, his godhood was far too fleeting. Good-bye godhood, hello biology 101!

10. Good grief is right. How can so many "progressives..."
be so bigoted and close-minded when it comes to the third coming of Jesus in the form of a color-changing, slow and moving frog?

17. But it's a GOD, for pete's sake.
After it dies, they'll dry it and put it in a little glass box and people will donate their Rupees to visit it. Then whatever that online casino is will buy it and everyone will rejoice and be happy.

You just don't understand modern religion. :bounce:

18. Sure. Why not...
If you're gonna pray to something, might as well be something you can at least see.
