I was feeling rather angry this evening, had a good bit of the ol' "ultra-violence" welling up in me as Burgess would say, and I asked y'all for advice. You came through in spades. Problem was, many of your responses included glass-breaking, wall-punching, and other high decibel activity. No can do. Live in an apartment building. Have to be "courteous". Bleah.

Instead, I chose a random neighbor and hung him by his ankles outside the 40th floor of this 50 -story building. He didn't do anything; I don't even know the guy. I just knew that I didn't want to say anything mean to anyone I love, however much they piss me off, or ruin personal property. So I grabbed him, tied him up, and dangled him out there.

Well, now I have another dilemma. I can STILL hear him sobbing and pleading down here on the 5th floor. Should I let him in, or let him spend the morning there, put in some ear plugs and go to sleep? Tormenting the man was grand but I think I still have a wee bit of anger left in me.

his religion would have been all over the news, but he is Methodist and we heard nothing. You may respond by asking what religion has to do with it anyway, but it does, because if he were Mormon, again, that would have been all over the news. Thoughts?

I know other Christians will say judge not lest ye be judged, but the only way to Heaven is through Jesus.

Open your hearts. Stop being so vain. Swallow your pride and give yourself to Jesus.

Do you agree?

What are some of the statistical trends concerning Atheism, especially the percentage of young people who are Atheists compared to older people? Does anyone have a histogram or a distribution graph? How does this change between regions/countries? What are some projected estimates for numbers based on % of population? Thanks.

If so, post a link to your video. If you've posted a response in defense of your faith, post a link to that, too. I've spent a long time looking at videos on YT and I find this VERY interesting... and I wish I had a camera. LOL!

"Despite the distortions of anti-Witnesses, throughout their modern history Jehovah's Witnesses have refused to claim divine inspiration or infallibility for their teachings. They have pointed to the bible (and not any particular translation) as the only inspired infallible means of knowing God's thoughts. For over 125 years, their teachings have been presented as merely the results of sincere bible research by imperfect but godly humans."
Here the WBTS claims to be the prophet of God......Both Watchtower articles claim opposing facts......
"In 1972 the Jehovah's Witness Watchtower claimed to be the prophet of God."
"IDENTIFYING THE "PROPHET" -- "So does Jehovah have a prophet to help them, to warn them of dangers and to declare things to come? These questions can be answered in the affirmative. Who is this prophet?...

Think of all of the otherwise good people out there who have done horrible things in the name of religion. These people really thought what they were doing was moral and right, but they were supremely deluded. Every Christian I know loves virtue and peace and love itself, but because of a few verses in their book, and greedy politicizing religious leaders, they can do so much evil in this world. They have so much faith in their book, that they will condemn others (although they say they don't), even when they have NO IDEA what it's like to be other people and undergo the struggles that other people have. Sigh, I really need to go to sleep. Anyway, does anyone else feel this way? BTW I know I'm generalizing, if you happen to be one of the more enlightened Christians, this doesn't apply to you. =)

I know this is a weird question, but I just found out that I am going to Virginia Beach tomorrow (Friday), and will get back Sunday. We will be staying in a little cabin, and the shower is public, and these really gross me out. If I take a shower Friday morning before we leave, and then do not take one during the trip, is that too long to go without one? I just hate the idea of taking a shower in that public shower thing!

What do you think?

A Witch once went to a bar, a drop-dead gorgeous girl, and got severely hammered. Once it was time to go, a man at the counter offered to drive her home. To which she commented, "You just want into my dress, or you really want to bring me home... either way... I have a broom that'll do both for me."

It takes guts to laugh at yourself, even your own religion. So, I'm inviting R&S tonight to laugh at their religion, or lack there of. Post a joke that makes fun of your own religion or lacking of it.

Person who make a joke at their own religion and gets the most votes wins.

Please do not post any material cruel to other religions or lacking of other religions.

This is just to try to make us all laugh at ourselves. I don't know how many of you are comfortable with it, but, I guess we'll find out!
