Good things have been acomplished in the name of religion, this is true. There are countless stories of addicts who have turned their life around and credit the change with finding God. But there are also those who have turned their lives around without religion and only the help of family and their own willpower. I feel that it would be better if we could accopmlish all the good that is done in the name of relgion without all the negative baggage that neccessarily comes along with it. There are organizations who's sole purpose is to help people and they don't do it in the name of Christianity. I hope there are more of these organizations in the future and that they replace the religious-based ones. Christians may say "I wanna help you but you can't be a fag." I want organizations that say "I wanna help you, period."

8Religion: The Bane of Humanity
by Adam inso yesterday i showed the receptionist some comments that i had posted on a different board.
the gist of the post was that i thought god's punnishment of the entire human race for the actions of one person, namely adam, was a gross miscarrage of justice.
also that bible tells us of this act, then says that he is a god of love, contradicting it's self.

So yesterday I showed the receptionist some comments that I had posted on a different board. The gist of the post was that I thought God's punnishment of the entire human race for the actions of one person, namely Adam, was a gross miscarrage of justice. Also that bible tells us of this act, then says that he is a god of love, contradicting it's self. Not the mark of a book of divine nature in my opinion. Now I'm not sure if she goes to church or owns a bible but her parents are from Mexico, so she took the path of least resistance and is a firm believer in the Catholic faith. So after reading my post she told me that she hopes to be able to see me burning in hell one day, she want's to see what I have to say then. Did she contemplate the validation of my point? Did she have the christian attitude of loving your enemy? Did she remember that in judging me, she was doing gods work and would therefore be judged herself? No. She did not see that I had a logical argument, instead she saw only that I was questioning the goodness of her god. She did not concern herself with the fact that I help old ladies cross streets, she simply wished eternal torment upon me because I did not believe the same things she did. She has probably never pondered that if she were born in Egypt four thousand years ago she would have believed wholeheartedly in Ra instead of Jesus, she simply knows that she is right and I am wrong and I should suffer because of it. When the last believer in religion dies or becomes agnostic, it will be a great day for the human race.

I saw the part where the architect student got shot, wait, actually I didn't SEE him getting shot. Matter of fact, I never SAW him get punched either. I didn't see much at all. Anything that would have grabbed attention was done off camera. And those scenes where the picture fades in, nothing happens for a good 45 seconds to a minute, then fades to black again just made me wanna vomit. I don't care if aliens would have landed at the end and had otherworldly sex with playboy bunnies while a tank battle went on in the background. It wouldn't have made up for the mind numbing boredom of the first 3/4 of the movie. Sorry, just not my kinda flick.Celia
It's about a dude who falls for a chick with kids and an abusive ex-husband. Not a bad premise but no one shows any emotion whatsoever and the few good parts aren't shown on camera. I think you might see a tear from the dad when his son dies, but that's about all the emotion you get. If you go, bring a book. -

Fear is a GOOD thing! They should fear us! Just like the USSR feared their populace learing the truth about the west, they are a repressive force trying to keep their subjects in line and they fear the truth that we proclaim. BE AFRAID YOU JW SCUM! BE VERY AFRAID! We are coming for you and soon everyone will be masturbating and watching Harry Potter! HAhaAAaHAHaAHaaaaHaAhAhAhahA!!!!!

For those of you who go to the movies, please heed this warning. DO NOT GO SEE "IN THE BEDROOM." This was only the second movie I ever walked out of. My girlfriend brought me to the movie and even she wanted to leave. I have yet to wash the tase out of my mouth and am scarred for life. You know how some movies start out R-E-A-L S-L-O-W? Well this one started out slower and went down hill from there. Please, spare yourselves and your loved ones, avoid this pitiful excuse for entertainment.

I've been invited to join the masons by an old guy across the street. Think I should join? I think I heard somewhere that in order to join you first have to proclaim your faith in an allmight god. In that case I would not be able to join with a clean consience.

Sorry about that. I don't have a computer at home and I only come online once in a while at work. So my viewing of the posts is very spotty. My bad. Well let's not waste (waist?) the space. New subject. How come there are so many people named Mohammad (including variaions on the spelling) in the Islamic Middle East and so many named Jesus in the Catholic South & Central America, but in the USA and England there is no single name with the same predominance?

My first reaction is to remember a bumper sticker I saw once
"WHEN THE RAPTURE COMES, WE'LL HAVE THE PLANET TO OURSELVES!"
My second reaction is "prove it" -

4) We must polish the Polish furniture.
5) He could lead if he would get the lead out.
6) The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert.

to present the present.
8) A bass was painted on the head of the bass drum.
9) When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes.
10) I did not object to the object.
11) The insurance was invalid for the invalid.Let's face it - English is a crazy language. There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple.
English muffins weren't invented in England or French fries in France. Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat. We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig. And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of booth beeth? One goose, 2 geese. One moose, 2 moose. One index, 2 indices. Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend? If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it? If teachers taught, why don't preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat? People--- recite at a play and play at a recital, - ship by truck and send cargo by ship, park in a driveway, and drive on a parkway, have noses that run and feet that smell????? How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out and in which an alarm goes off by going on. When the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible. Why doesn't "Buick" rhyme with "quick"? Why is it called a hot water heater when you don't heat hot water? You heat cold water. It should be a cold water heater. And lastly, why do we say near miss? Things nearly hit if they miss. If it's a near miss, it would be a collision. "Those planes nearly missed, but they hit." -

Englishman, you keep your fish and fries...er...chips? with mayonaise on that side of the pond. I'm fine here with my root beer and double bacon cheese burger. Keep your tea too, I take my coffee black. But you know what? At least you guys don't live on curry. I used to live in an apartment where a lot of the tennants came from the middle east. God it stank.
