I think it's ridiculous that anyone with any brain activity can believe that the Noah's Ark/Great Flood parable actually happenened.

I THINK IT'S RIDICULOUS !!!!!!!!!!!
by wasblind in1) i think it's ridiculous to tell anyone when and how to use something they paid for ( computers and internet service ).
2) i think it's ridiculous to tell married couples how to act in the bedroom.

I like NOFX. Some albums more than others. Probably my favorite song of theirs is Freedom Like a Shopping Cart on Heavy Petting Zoo. My overall favorite album of theirs I think would be a tie between White Trash, Two Heebs, & a Bean or Pump Up the Valium.

Pretty much every Christian I've ever known has been, to some degree, bigoted, hateful, prideful, Judgemental, homo-hatin', & hypocritical.
Sounds like traits of the WBC to me. They are just more aggressive about spouting their stupidity than other church groups.

A question to the ex-JW's...
by losthobbit ini'm curious about what made you realize that your ex-religion was not "true"?.
i've had discussions with many religious people, and they're always trying to protect their beliefs, rather than allowing anything i say challenge what they believe.
was there ever something someone said to you, or something you read that maybe made you doubt your beliefs for the first time, or had a similar effect?.

Even as a small child, I would consider the "Noah's Ark" parable. Even then with a huge imagination, I just couldn't bring myself to buy that one. Two of EVERY animal worlwide? Where did all the poop go? How did they feed and care for thousands of species, each with specialized dietary and environmental needs?
To this day, it still baffles me how people can believe that utter nonsense really took place. A GLOBAL flood??? Where did all the water go? How did plant life survive? Ridiculous.

A few years ago, I worked at an old building in Downtown Portland, Oregon. The third floor was a large concert venue, the second floor housed the offices, a brewery, and a smaller concert venue/event rental space, and the bottom floor was a large bar/pub/nightclub.
There was a church group that met there for a while every Sunday because their own church building had burned down. they would meet in the second floor small venue/event rental space while their new church was under construction. One Sunday morning I was on my way to my office to do the books and the pastor for this group was standing in the hallway. He was a friendly guy and often engaged me in brief conversation. This time he asked me what band had played upstairs the previous night. I answered "Dinosaur Jr." He says "I don't believe in 'em". I reply "what do mean? You don't believe in the band?" He says "No. I don't believe in dinosaurs." I was a little puzzled and just looked at him for a second. Then he says "dinosaur fossils were fabricated by the Devil and planted here in an attempt to make people believe in the theory of evolution." I just said "wow" and walked away shaking my head.

I think I've reached that point in life where I hate my job and will always hate my job
by Elsewhere inremember when you were a kid and you saw the funny bits in shows about how someone hates their job and just goes to work to pay the bills.
i think i've reached that point in my life.. i hate my job.. i used to love the work i do... but the way a corporation crushes your soul and leaves you as an empty husk of your former self has finally taken its toll on me.. i used to look forward to the challenges of work... now i wake up, go to work, do what i have to do to get through the day and then go home.. .
it's totally absurd but i find myself literally fantasizing about winning the lottery so i can get my soul back..

I've been in the bar/restaurant management line of work for 15 years now. I'm at the end of my rope too. The customer has become the enemy. I've had to put up with so much rude behavior from people that it's made me mean, like a dog that's been teased through the fence too much. I'm convinced that there are some people that go out to eat just for an excuse to belittle & torment their waitstaff. I hear quite often "every time we come to this place, the service is terrible and the food is awful". Why come back then, other than an excuse to bitch about something?
The other thng that has become so tiring is people with their little brats. They think it's precious when their little demon spawn is making a pile on the table from the salt & pepper shakers or tearing coasters into shreds and scattering them everywhere. Hey that's okay. I'll just clean that up for you. I'll just go ahead and pick up the Cheerios that your snotty little shit has flung into every corner of the establishment while screeching like a monkey. CONTROL YOUR EFFING CHILDREN PEOPLE!!!!
While I'm on my little tirade, I might as well mention one of my biggest pet peeves: Customers will always come in, pick up one of our free local newspapers, read it, then leave it on the table when they're done. Hey sure, I'll pick up after you. It's very demeaning when you feel like a SERVANT rather than a SERVER. There is a difference.
If you don't know how to act in public, you shouldn't go out to eat.
Of course, there are those folks that are courteous and polite. If you fall into this category, thank you. You make the other crap somewhat tolerable. But then, it seems that most of the time, these are people who work or have worked in the service industry. It should be a law that every adult should work as a server at least once in their lives just to see what these folks have to put up with.
Don't ever snap or whistle to get your server's attention either. That is the absolute WORST. I will refuse to wait on you of you act like that, as will just about every other person I know. One time, a guy grabbed my arm as I walked by his table because he wanted his iced tea (which was still 80% full) refilled. Don't EVER grab your server folks. I kicked that guy out, BTW.
....Wow. I feel better already....

I'm a staunch atheist, and I love Christmas. The smells, the feeling in the air, the closeness with friends & family, the good feeling you get when you exchange gifts, it's all great, but Jesus is the furthest thing from my mind.
