Not to all evidently, but for some of us, it does...


That is what I never understood.

Some things are not 'understandable'. They are accepted on faith. Like your belief in the 'Big Bang
Theory'.


Have you fully considered the concept of eternity? I would become
agonizingly bored after having the same thoughts and experiences for the
10^999th time. At some point it becomes torture no matter how many
distant relatives I'm surrounded by. (perhaps hastened by some of them)

Everlasting life seems designed to appeal to a child-like fear of death.

I was fine not existing before birth and will be fine not existing after
death except in others memories. It's satisfying just trying to make
this life meaningful.

Glad you're fine and satisfied. Go in peace and love to serve yourself.

Jesus Saves!

As if you were serving anyone but yourself.

All that is left in the contemporary
Republican-Conservative-Christian-Tea Party is a majority of hate-filled
“basers” that cannot tolerate gays, blacks, latinos, students, women,
and non-Christians, and a small minority of “old-style” Republicans who
pretend to ignore morons like Ted Nugent and Sarah Palin, and the venom
their party leaders spew.

Imagine an eternity in heaven filled with right wing Christian
fundamentalists. Less fun than a holiday in Afghanistan. :(

Harry, a cut and paste just for you...

DAYTON, OH (CBS/WHIO) -- A Dayton RTA bus driver was involved in a shooting this morning and police say some sort of "intervention" may have saved his life.

A New Testament bible in the front pocket of the RTA bus driver's shirt pocket took two bullets that suspects had aimed at the victim's chest.

The bullets did not penetrate into the victim's chest, police said.

Wouldn't "The Cat in the Hat" have done the same thing?

I've not, to my knowledge, ever denied that I've made a snide comment here or there. Most are not.
It's really dependent on what I'm answering.
