Ohhhh I'm so glad I didn't enter this thread. What a useless argument. That is the true agnostic's position: the question of God's existence is an absurd one to even ask. That's my position too. Whether God exists or not is irrelevant to me. I simply don't care one way or the other.

What really happens to people when they die?
by ButtLight indo you think people can stick around, like ghosts?
i think they can, and i think you can communicate with them.
i told my mom to haunt my house when she dies.

If humans do live on as spirits after death, why do they fuck with us? What prevents them from giving good and accurate communication?

I hate JW funerals/memorials. When one of my close friends was murdered in 1991 (the case is still open), the funeral talk was all about JWism, practically nothing about her. Her Catholic family that attended were visibly (and rightly) extremely pissed off.
When my grandfather died a few years ago, I went to the kingdom hall for his service. What a horrible talk the elder gave. My non-JW family were pissed that his military service in WW2 was not mentioned. The elder read about six scriptures "proving" that the dead are really dead. NO SHIT SHERLOCK. Y'all are right, these services are nothing more than a live JW commericial.
Edited to add: Wow, 1000 posts. I made it. Fascinating.

Good stuph. I wish I could teach my cat that "gravity" isn't always a good thing, when he manages to climb up onto the roof of my house.

In 1994, I was "privileged" to play the part of Peter, a young college student who was persuaded to quit school and get baptized. I had my part memorized in about 10 days. There was a funny rule though: DON'T LET ANYONE ELSE HEAR THE TAPE OF THE DRAMA OR MAKE COPIES. I never did return the tape and I bet I still have it lying around here somewhere.
Pic of me (I'm the one standing) playing Peter at the 1994 District Convention of Jehovah's Witnesses in Rochester, NY: http://members.aol.com/cygnus97/pics/peter.jpg
Edited to add: It felt kinda cool to walk into the place and walk around in jeans and no tie. 'Course I was only 22 at the time. And, jeez, how could I forget? In 1978 my father and I had a small part. I was six years old. I still have that convention program with my dad's name on it, back when the names were on them. -

It's cool to live near a church
by Cygnus ini don't go to church, but right now they're playing god bless america and i can hear it and it's just cool.
i like seeing the parisioners walking in and out when i drive by and seeing them fire up the huge grill on saturdays for cookouts.
just something i wanted to share this morning.

Well the church I'm speaking of is maybe 1/4 mile away and around the corner on a busy highway. I live on a mostly quiet suburban street, so I don't get any problems. :) And my neighbor cut my grass for me yesterday so I'm pretty much all smiles, this morning anyway. Well, except for this picture I took of myself this morning: http://members.aol.com/cygnus97/pics/me81705.jpg
Edited to add: And yes, I'm shaving half my dome and half my face. I'm out of work, disabled, why not look like a complete weirdo.

by Elsewhere inmy dr. had prescribed advair for my asthma.
for a 90 day supply it will cost me $75.

Mary, a lot of doctors aren't even aware of the prices. When I told my doc my co-pay for Cymbalta was $100.00 a month, he nearly flipped out. There's so much ignorance out there, and people just don't seem to care that much......... until they get sick and go bankrupt. I'm unfortunately a good example of that. :(

Serial Killing More Common Among White Boys
by Valis inyep that's right if you are a white boy you are most probably a serial killer, because richard ramirez and wayne williams were only flukes.
never you mind anyone on the planet could be a potential serial killer, all we know at this point is most of the ones we have caught are whiteys...see?
i told you so!.

Reminds me of the episode when Beavis and Butthead took a lie detector test and Beavis couldn't get any answer right so they told him to say anything factual and he said "I killed a bunch of people once" and the "correct" light went flashing like crazy and the machine went bing bing bing bing. lol, I can still do a perfect Beavis, Butthead, or Mr. Anderson voice. Used to crack people up. On yahoo in voice I'd do it and people would swear I was playing a recording. Ahh, such talent wasted.
