In my spare time like on weekends when im not working, i do a fair amount of socialising, meeting loads of different people from different places, a conversation might start up while for example, standing in a que to get into a pub, i like to talk rubbish. Getting quite good at it too. It amuses some people no end. Some find it extremely funny, others think im a bit odd and its these reactions i see in people i find currious and so continue to talk complete nonsense like in beep-bop-a-lula, or was it wap-baba-luba, you get me in-it. So i wanted to know was there a name to call this hobby of mine, dont you know. Quick tell me before i go bonkers like..

Sometimes i ask questions like this one,
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AvrDk29hHo8jAIkC5RmvpUjsy6IX?qid=20061228145133AAuuPM1
That seem to cut right to the heart of an issue. Usually this issue hinges around a certain belief that people have about the nature of god or the things that god is said to have done. In these cases where it seems that i have presented a very good case for the atheist viewpoint that believers tend to ignore the issue completely or retreat to a "safety zone," applying god to something that is thougth to have an effect on the issue but is not directly addressed in the question.

Is it so difficult to abandon a belief that obviously isn't compatable with reality? Or even simply to say "you've got a point?" or even better "i guess i don't know the answer." What is it about mystery and inquiry that frightens those who have a tendancy towards religious belief and superstition?

All those pictures of earth were forged like all the evidence supporting evolution. Don't worship the Devil and his lies!

I remember when it was the rage. My friends and I could even speak a few words of it. (They're long gone now, the friends and the words!) Linguists were predicting it to be the language of the future. What do you think...?

What significance, if any, is there of Saddam's time of death (seemingly just before 6am, I think?)? I don't know enough about Islam to know if there is any sort of significance to it, but I can't help but think it would be like the Pope being executed before sunrise on Christmas Day? Does it have any impact on how he will be judged with regards to an afterlife?

I am honestly curious about how Muslims view the timing and the significance, if there is any.

I can identify Christian music so incredibly easily... or well, I am pretty certain that I can identity a song as being 'Christian' in nature just by how it sounds...

Now, is there a common/standard key or progression in Christian Pop that is similar to the standards of Blues/Country/Bluegrass?

Since the early days of church attending to now, it sounds all the same...
