The good news is, you can't die... they won't know where to send you.

Yeah, but in the meantime I have to keep distributing all of these copies of The Watchtower. I had no idea that salvation was going to be so much work.

How you feelin' today, big fella? No more trouble from insubordinate cheese, I hope.

The rebellion was quickly subdued and the rebels sent to the Salt Cracker penal colony.

The upside is the longterm savings on birthday presents and Halloween candy.

I still have fond memories of waking up one Sunday, checking my email, and finding a message I'd sent to one of my Yahoo groups the night before. The subject line was "im ssooo fickin dink" and it really didn't get any better from there.

Always nice to have that happen.

It seems I have gathered quite a few potential sig quotes during the night while discussing with Arclight and there was this one the got my attention... I'm still in awe what could have possibly result in this conversation:

Arclight: balls!
Dowly: BIG balls
Arclight: big squirrel balls!

Boggles the mind.

No need for a poll in the UK.

Quote:

And now congregation, put your hands together and give thanks, for I come bearing Good News. Britain is now the most irreligious country on earth. This island has shed superstition faster and more completely than anywhere else. Some 63 percent of us are non-believers, according to an ICM study, while 82 percent say religion is a cause of harmful division. Now, let us stand and sing our new national hymn: Jerusalem was dismantled here/ in England's green and pleasant land.
How did it happen? For centuries, religion was insulated from criticism in Britain. First its opponents were burned, then jailed, then shunned. But once there was a free marketplace of ideas, once people could finally hear both the religious arguments and the rationalist criticisms of them, the religious lost the British people. Their case was too weak, their opposition to divorce and abortion and gay people too cruel, their evidence for their claims non-existent. Once they had to rely on persuasion rather than intimidation, the story of British Christianity came to an end.

But as archetypal figures - they are the ones I most often fall back on in order to articulate or illustrate some metaphorical reality. In that sense they are to me like very old friends.

Thats how I perceive them.. They are more like very old and close friends to me, if that makes any sense. I talk to them, and they talk to me. But it is my firm belief that you can't really offend a god, because we are so minuscule to them that it wouldn't really make a difference.

Oh, yes. I rejoined after a few pages and had to go back to re-read. Much improved, the lecturers have moved on to something else. Now it's just the normal descending in to chaos, but in a fun way

Uh... this is the General Topics forum. If we reduced it to gaming discussions it would barely exist.

What Frau said, and may I add that nobody is forcing you to read religious threads.
