To all the other atheists/agnostics out there

by robhic in

after you got from behind the barrier that was keeping you from thinking logically and had removed the blinders that prevented you from processing information using common sense rather than the 2000+ year old superstitions of some nomadic goat-herders, did you start to find that religious-centric or god-related statements made you shake your head in incredulity?.

case in point: just yesterday as i watched the 5:00 news, a story came on about a young man who had moved from here to california.

while in california he died but the family was so poor they could not afford to have the body shipped back to new orleans.

I take that as an insult. Get it right: non-nomadic fisherman!

You should move to BC, we have the cheapest car insurance (due to the crown company ICBC) in Canada.

hello fellow seattlites?.

my girlfriend and i want to go watch the blue angels today, but i don't want to get into the seafair festival.

i just want to watch from some park somewhere for an hour or two.

the_classicist

yeah, that's Steinbruek. Right next to Pike Place. It's pretty close to the water. I used to work right by there and have my lunch in the park all the time.

Thanks under74!

submariners 'satisfactory' after rescue .

5:07 pm august 7

the seven crew of a russian mini-submarine rescued after being stuck on the bottom of the pacific ocean are in a "satisfactory" condition and do not need special medical attention, the russian navy says.

the_classicist

I'm glad Putin's administration was not so stubborn as to make this into another Kursk.

Although, the ironic part of this whole thing is that the "mini-sub" is actually one of those rescue subs.

I forgot the name (Fisherman's Wharf sounded good, though, so I went with that), but it probably is Pike Place Market. It was in this large place, but crowded and lots of shops and lots of seafood for sale.

It looks like Steinbreuk, but it seemed much closer to the water in what I remembered than in the pictures.

It was near that Russian submarine, though.

4. Inferior

I always felt so upstaged compared to those 5 year olds who got baptised at 4 and put in 20 hours a month. And not only doing that, but apparently having time for bible studies.
