religion - general discussion

[Riverwind (imported)]

And George Carlin once said,

Religion has convinced people that there’s an invisible man…living in the sky, who watches everything you do every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a list of ten specific things he doesn’t want you to do. And if you do any of these things, he will send you to a special place, of burning and fire and smoke and torture and anguish for you to live forever, and suffer and burn and scream until the end of time. But he loves you. He loves you and he needs money.

Yes George understood,

So do I,

What they are looking for is somebody who looks beyond their beauty for their mind. This is where a man has to get creative. It is the KEY to Alpha behaviors and it is how ugly men get good looking women. Remember, sooner or later, EVERY woman wants a man, or a reasonable facsimile. Gender dysphoria notwithstanding... It is YOUR job to make yourself available for that moment.

A-1, I think that this is the best advice I could get about male/female relationships and courtship. Especially the final sentence.

Thanks for helping me to realise what my job is.

Nice recent comments by all on religion too. Especially the one on Budhism which I found particularly amusing.

Every religion claims that unbelievers are on the wrong side of god(s), and will get stomped by size 1,000,000 Extra Wide feet in hob-nailed boots as a result. That's the stick. Believers can "let the good times roll." That's the carrot. They're all the same.

I'll make you a deal. For every ten bucks you send me, I'll return a chit good for One Helluva Good Time after you die. These can also be exchanged for beer, if you go bars in certain parts of New Jersey.

Remember what it was like before you were born? Neither do I. But all of a sudden, there you were! Same with me. How certain are you that the same thing can't happen again some time in the near or distant future after you (whatever 'you' is) die?

In other words, how certain are you that you are not repeatable? You probably wouldn't remember your former self, but are you certain you couldn't happen again sometime?

My favorites are Mother Earth and Father Moon/sky. This is better then most religions because I can see and feel and touch my gods - can you?

River the Pagan

Yes. With my mind.

Does anyone think (know?) that if you cancel out sex in a relationship that you are more likely to have less arguing, negotiating and bitching?

For what it's worth, I was married to a woman for 35 years and we had sex once, and that was before we got married. I got the clap from it and we never had sex again.

We are divorced now and living separately but we still do the same things together, symphony, opera, plays, movies, dining out, etc. That we did when we were living together.

DAMMIT, gregrowlerson!

If you decide to reduce your sex drive, DO IT FOR YOURSELF, not for a damned woman... CAPISH?

Now, on to the business at hand...

OH! THE FORCE OF THE POWERFUL LOGIC OF THE STATEMENT...

YOU CANNOT PROVE THAT IT IS FALSE, SO IT MUST BE TRUE...

They tried that when they wanted to teach "INTELLIGENT DESIGN" and it WILL NOT HOLD UP IN COURT...

NO, no need to doubt. Just like SUPERMAN, they have comic books about them. Now, On to the FRED PHELPS (http://www.eunuch.org/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=18477) thread... or you can read on in this post but I would not if I were you. AND... IF YOU DO, For heaven's sake DO NOT CLICK ON ANY OF THE LINKS... :shakemitk



YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Now, shall we begin?





BUT EXCUUUSSE MEEEE... !...IF I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT MUHAMMAD RODE TO HEAVEN ON THE BACK OF A WHITE HORSE FROM THE DOME OF THE ROCK.

IF GOD IS GOD THEN WHY DID HE NEED THE GODDAMNED HORSE? GOD COULD HAVE JUST FLEW HIM THERE WITHOUT THE HORSE! IN ADDITION, IF THERE ARE HORSES IN HEAVEN WHO CLEANS UP THE HORSESHIT?

now...THIS is about where to find the "TRUTH" in scriptures... (http://www.jesusandmo.net/?s=hanging&key=transcript)



SO why don't we just kiss and make up? (http://zombietime.com/mohammed_image_ar ... ckFace.jpg)

WELL, River, you may now close this STUPID thread... (http://images8.cpcache.com/product/1105 ... -White.jpg)

...this horseshit has went far enough, but it ain't got to heaven yet...

We have a saying where I come from...

...goes something like this....

...............Q. How do you stop a WOMAN from having sex?

...............A. Marry her...

...looks like it is mostly universal in it's truth value...

Athiests

Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?

Then he is not omnipotent.

Is he able, but not willing?

Yes.

Then he is malevolent. No, he's indifferent.

Is he both able, and willing?

Then whence cometh evil? I

t comes from man.

If he

is neither able nor willing?

Then why call him GOD.

Epicurus, 33 A.D.

If Epicurus knew this in 33AD, what has change

d? we discovered how small this little blue marble really is compared to the size of the universe.

Admittingly, I haven't read through everyone's posts here so, if my comment is a repeat of someone else's, I ask River, Krister et al to delete it at their conveinence.

For all those who believe in basic Judeo-Christian ethics, please avoid the Reverend Jacobs and his Nom group who sent me an email today asking for financial support.

It seems Reverend Jacobs opposes gay marriages and has proposed a solution: he advocates the lynching of gay couples.

I already gave him my overheated reply which involved my shotgun.
