Oingo Boingo's Dead Man's Party
ok, not a conversation of mine, but a parody of one, written by robert g. ingersoll, and a brilliant one at that.
quite long, but he covers all of the circular arguments that i knew of, plus a whole lot more, and is very entertaining.
question.
Ringo, thanks for bringing this up. Here is one of my favorites from his lecture 'Some Mistakes of Moses' illustrating the absurdity of literal belief vs. unbelief:
Let me show you the result of unbelief. Let us suppose, for a
moment, that we are at the Day of Judgment, listening to the trial
of souls as they arrive. The Recording Secretary, or whoever does
the cross-examining, says to a soul:
Where are you from?
I am from the Earth.
What kind of a man were you?
Well, I don't like to talk about myself. I suppose you can
tell by looking at your books.
No, sir. You must tell what kind of a man you were.
Well, I was what you might call a first-rate fellow. I loved
my wife and children. My home was my heaven. My fireside was a
paradise to me. To sit there and see the lights and shadows fall
upon the faces of those I loved, was to me a perfect joy.
How did you treat your family?
I never said an unkind word. I never caused my wife, nor one
of my children, a moment's pain.
Did you pay your debts?
I did not owe a dollar when I died, and left enough to pay my
funeral expenses, and to keep the fierce wolf of want from the door
of those I loved.
Did you belong to any church?
No, sir. They were too narrow, pinched and bigoted for me, I
never thought that I could be very happy if other folks were
damned.
Did you believe in eternal punishment?
Well, no. I always thought that God could get his revenge in
far less time.
Did you believe the rib story?
Do you mean the Adam and Eve business?
Yes! Did you believe that?
To tell you the God's truth, that was just a little more than
I could swallow.
Away with him to hell!
Next!
Where are you from?
I am from the world too.
Did you belong to any church?
Yes, sir, and to the Young Men's Christian Association
besides.
What was your business?
Cashier in a Savings Bank.
Did you ever run away with any money?
Where I came from, a witness could not be compelled to
criminate himself.
The law is different here. Answer the question. Did you run
away with any money?
Yes, sir.
How much?
One hundred thousand dollars.
Did you take anything else with you?
Yes, sir.
Well, what else?
I took my neighbor's wife -- we sang together in the choir.
Did you have a wife and children of your own?
Yes, sir.
And you deserted them?
Yes, sir, but such was my confidence in God that I believed he
would take care of them.
Have you heard of them since?
No, sir.
Did you believe in the rib story?
Bless your soul, of course I did. A thousand times I regretted
that there were no harder stories in the Bible, so that I could
have shown my wealth of faith.
Do you believe the rib story yet?
Yes, with all my heart.
Give him a harp!
"if they are well acquainted with the lyrics of the "grease" soundtrack, weren't allowed to see the omen or the excorcist, had a massive video player at home, can't recall using mobile phones, they know who killed jr." and what else?

LOL Katie!
my partner successfully sued gloucestershire constabulary yesterday.
we got our day in court, and today we are on the front page of the daily mail and the gloucester citizen, and we are in several other nationals and locals, my partner's been interviewed by sky news and the bbc.. we finally got them to listen to us after ignoring our letters and phone calls for months.
and it feels fantastic!.
KatieKitten, congrats on the victory for the principle and the pounds, but did they offer him a spot on the force, too? Does he still hope to work as a policeman?
well, that's the question.
my wife came up with this one, without really knowing the impact it had on me.. i've heard a few discussions on this, but never heard anything solid about it.
is there a way we can find out?
The above links to an Ohio Supreme Court decision against a pettitioner who claims their relative was coerced into making the Watchtower their beneficiary. I couldn't find any other probate suits regarding inheritances and WT beneficiaries.
Widening out. What a stupid phrase.

Aristophanes may have been on to something...I wonder if the Lysistrata strategy could be usefull in other spheres, like the kingdom hall?
