hi everyone just a question to satisfy my curiosity , and if you are a non believer are you happier for being so

iggy_the_fish

I'm an atheist, but I really miss thinking there's something out there looking over us. Even when I was a believer of whatever description, I was not the happiest of souls but I used to feel comforted in the thought that at least there was some sort of referee looking down on us to ensure everything worked out ok in the end.

Then I came to the conclusion there was no such person out there, and all that happened was I lost the comfort I had previously gained from my belief, which to be honest was a bit of a dissapointment considering the amount of hard work and painful soul searching which went into the decision.

607 bce or 587 bce

by jw in

jerusalem 607 bce vindicated.

why jehovahs witnesses are right for sticking to the bibles chronology of 607 bce for the destruction of jerusalem.

arguments for 587 bce are scripturally flawed, causing four bible prophecies to fail.

I can't be bothered reading that site, but does King Nevawuzza make an appearance? He's my favorite neo-Babylonian king in the jw timeline.

a human inside an injured-chicken costume, hobbling in protest on the sidewalk wednesday in front of a kentucky fried chicken restaurant, didnt achieve the desired effect, according to many who dined there.. brad steig called wednesdays protest in grand junction by the people for the ethical treatment of animals good advertising for kfc.. the protest consisted of four adults and one child holding signs in front of the restaurant, handing out fliers and dvds and urging people to not eat at kfc until the restaurant buys chickens from humane vendors.. steig, a manager for halliburton, said he heard about the peta protest on the radio and decided right then to eat at kfc on wednesday, the day of the protest.. not only that, but he bought seven of the biggest buckets of chicken and all the side dishes and used four trips to load them into his halliburton pickup to treat his co-workers.

i don't know if there's an "ultimate" right-wingers' fantasy, but collecting 7 buckets of fried chicken in a halliburton pick-up in front of a peta protester must come pretty close.

KFC should be admired for making people think it's sexy to feed your family out of a bucket.

Eurovision Song Contest

half way through the songs, and my vote is with latvia.

fantastic acapella song.

beautiful.. nice country song from germany.. lithuania - i dont know what to say!!!!

iggy_the_fish

Katie - google is your friend.

If memory serves, I think it's got something to do with "Eurovision" being the name of a broadly pan European (but including Israel) broadcasting network (a collective of individual broadcasters that is), who did the song contest many moons ago as a way of - well - doing something to justify their existance as a collective. I'm sure the internet will provide you with a much more reliable explanation than that. But I think you're right, Jesus told them to do it.

Finland wins Eurovision 2006 song contest

by Lehtiveli in

finland has made history by winning eurovision 2006 song contest.

band was lordi and song hard rock hallelujah .

thats fun... first time ever that finland has won a singing contest.

iggy_the_fish

Yes it was fun wasn't it. I did enjoy it when they were presented with large bouquets (sp?) of flowers at the end. Nice to see they were in touch with their feminine sides, as well as being satanists.
