i recently learnt about the pastafarians (not rastafarians).
they believe the universe was made by him, the fsm (flying spaghetti monster).
sounds like a sensible alternative to christians to me... .
Global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters are a direct consequence of the decline in numbers of pirates since the 1800s.
Hmmm -- I think they might be on to something there.
Followers are expected to dress in full pirates' regalia.

That's an ancient proverb, isn't it?
*ruminates*
how many of you tend to suffer through your heartaches, worries, illnesses, or anything else that gets you down----alone----while wishing that you could reach out for a little reassurance, validation, affection like you see "others" do???.
i only ask because ever since i was a kid that has been my tendency and, even though i am not suffering anything right now, i can't help but think of those who are.. why do we do it?
are we afraid of what people will think of us?
Very compassionate post, Merry. Thanks for opening up the dialogue...(even if it's confined to an internal one at this time)
okay....i tried reading the whole thread about not taking christ out of xmas http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/97085/1.ashx, but really, no, that is just too much to read through...and i figured no one would both to see what i had written anyway...so here are a few other reasons for those of you to celebrate on dec 25th if you don't have "christ in your christmas".
i suppose if you don't have christ in your christmas we could call it "christmas lite" or "christ free christmas" "nonchrist latte with half decaf".
anyhoo.... 1. isaac newton's bday...a giant in math and phyics .
Kazar, perfectly stated -- fits my feelings about Yule time to a "T".
i was 11, coming out of the 5th grade, my dad had just been to jail for having sex with a kid who was 14 at the time, he has been having sex with her for two years and everyone in the 1900 person town i grew up in new it.
i remember always being the last picked for everything.
i couldnt even throw a baseball or football correctly, it always looked like i was lobbing a grenade, no accuracy, no power, nothing.
Poignant -- I could just picture that little boy trying his darndest -- you captured the feeling of a scapegoat/outcast perfectly. Thank you.

this is robertson's explanation for the comments he made the other day.
first he blatantly lied about what he said, then he gives a crap appology.
Crazy
I think "batshit crazy" might be a more accurate description.
my family spends a lot of time on grooming our lawn, hedges and flowerbeds.
we live near a main street and there is a path beside our house that is often used by dog owners as part of their dog walk.. i don't know how many times i've watched people allow their dogs to urinate on our hedges and defecate on our grass, when the public park is just a few feet away.
they think that poop-n-scooping is the limit of their duty of neighbourliness.. today, i had enough.
I wonder what would happen if you "accidentally" turned on the sprinklers while the doggie was doing the deed?
