americans are so emotionally demonstrative.
this ain't no criticism folks, it's just an observation.. take a peek at gently ferals story about the xmas tree, lovely stuff but zilch response from us hard-hearted brits.
oozy stuff from the us!.
We only have so many minutes in our lives, E. When I look back at the end of mine, I intend to see that I spent them enjoyably and well. If a minute of my life is passing, and while it's here I have the opportunity to be hugging or touching somebody I love, or to be speaking words of encouragement to them, you best believe I'm not going to let the chance get by me.

here is an interesting article by a local columnist that underscores the invalidity of the christian religion as god's chosen one.
it also casts serious doubt on the bible as well as jesus' originality.
this is really nothing new to those of us who have researched it.. http://www.sun-herald.com/newsarchive2/122301/cl2.htm?date=122301&story=cl2.htm.
It all depends on your world-view, so your 'problem' is actually a 'proof'!
Eloquently put, Rex. I doubt that any of us could have better described the source of your proof.

here's a story i made up and told at a yule ritual for our church's pagan group.. .
what does a christmas tree want?.
last year, right around this time, i came home from church to find christmas tree ornaments in my front yard.
A homemade Christmas present! That's the absolute best kind of all! Thanks, GF, and merry Christmas to you and all your loved ones.
COMF

Well, then, God be with you, Adonai! Best to you and yours.
COMF

the public talk speaker today said that some countries like the us are no longer in the harvest work but are now in the gleaning work.
hmmm.
sounds like a creative way to rationalize the lack of increase.. eby
but are now in the gleaning work.
Are you sure he didn't say, "cleaning work"?

hillary clinton - because it was part of a vast right wing conspiracy and was trying to garner support for its cause.. charles darwin - being a fast evolving pipedal animal it was the next logical step after coming down from the trees.. nietche - because it knew that sometimes if you gaze at the road too long....sometimes the road gazes back at you.
plato - having achieved a state of pure virtue and goodness, the chicken was almost certainly fleeing from the roosters who refused to acknowledge the value of a platonic relationship.. applewhite (heavens gate cult) - because the chicken having been planted as a seed by extraterrestial intelligence long ago, and seeing an approaching speeding truck, suddenly had an awakening and desired to be freed from its earthly container to be united with the mother ship.. bill clinton - that depends on what your definition of chicken is.
furthermore i deny all knowledge of that chicken!
Anyone who's ever driven in rural Texas knows the true reason the chicken crossed the road:
To prove to the armadillo that it could be done.
