I'M GLAD I'M A MAN

I'm glad I'm a man, you better believe.
I don't live off of yogurt, diet coke, or cottage cheese.
I don't ***** to my girlfriends about the size of my breasts.
I can get where I want to - north, south, east or west.

I don't get wasted after only 2 beers,
and when I do drink I don't end up in tears.
I won't spend hours deciding what to wear.
I spend 5 minutes max fixing my hair.

And I don't go around checking my reflection
in everything shiny from every direction.
I don't whine in public and make us leave early,
and when you ask why get all bitter and surly.

I'm glad I'm a man, I'm so glad I could sing.
I don't have to sit around waiting for that ring.
I don't gossip about friends or stab them in the back.
I don't carry our differences into the sack.

I'll never go psycho and threaten to kill you
or think every guy out there's trying to steal you.
I'm rational, reasonable, and logical too.
I know what the time is and I know what to do.

And I honestly think its a privilege for me
to have these two balls and stand when I pee.
I live to watch sports and play all sorts of ball.
It's more fun than dealing with women after all.

I won't cry if you say it's not going to work.
I won't remain bitter and call you a jerk.
Feel free to use me for immediate pleasure.
I won't assume it's permanent by any measure.

Yes, I'm so very glad I'm a man, you see.
I'm glad I'm not capable of child delivery.
I don't get all bitchy every 28 days.
I'm glad that my gender gets me a much bigger raise.

I'm a man by chance and I'm thankful it's true.
I'm so glad I'm a man and not a woman like you!

The now-famous Vatican Hill (Latin Collis Vaticanus) is northwest of the Tiber and is not one of the Seven Hills of Rome. Likewise, the Pincian Hill (Latin Mons Pincius), to the north, and the Janiculum Hill (Latin Ianiculum), to the west, are not counted among the traditional Seven Hills.

Of the Seven Hills of current Rome, five (Aventine, Caelian, Esquiline, Quirinal and Viminal hills) are populated with monuments, buildings, and parks. The Capitoline now hosts the Municipality of Rome, and the Palatine Hill is an archaeological area. Note that the Vatican hill is not one of the "seven hills" of Rome, as it is located on the opposite side of the river Tiber.

The city of Constantinople (now Istanbul) was built on seven hills, after the city of Rome.

So how can you say the Catholic Church is the one mentioned in Revelations?

The biggest challenge to change is entrenched dogma. Once a belief has been maintained and reinforced long enough, it cannot be changed via reason.

But why is this?

Lets suppose I took an entire town and had every parent raise every newborn child with a "revised" bible. In this new bible, everything would be REVERSED. God would be evil, and Satan would be good. Hell would be a reward, and heaven a punishment. Same basic story except everything would be backwards. To completely innocent minds, they could not know the difference, and with no exposure to outside thinking, they never would.

Fast forward ten generations. Their belief system is now as certain as yours. They believe Satan is as good as you believe god is.

Do you have ANY chance of convincing them otherwise?
Wouldn't your assertions that god is their savior sound as insane to them as someone declaring to you that Satan is your savior?

This is why you cannot "save" people, or "bring" them to Christianity.

Get it?

yesterday someone posted a question on psychics that work for the police or F.B.I. Every atheist that responded said this ability does not exist. I'm the first to admit most are fraudulent, but there does seem to be some genuine psychics. Out of curiosity, I was wondering if the atheists here tonight feel the same way.

Adults are hypocrites. We tell our kids it's okay to take candy from strangers on Halloween but not everyday. How do you get the point across that it's not safe to take candy from random people everyday because they may kidnap him/her?

It doesn't seem to be working. I've had a problem with alcohol 4 8 years now and have been married for 11. My wife and I have fallen into the habbit of fighting when we drink (she also has an alcohol problem). The problem is that I physically and mentally abuse her when i'm drunk and start fighting almost 3x a week. So, i decided to turn to God 6 months ago and it's not working. I gave her a blood lip and a bruised cheek the other day...i need help as i'm beginning to lose faith.

And never am delivered, and so continue, will God punish me on judgment day? Will I be sent to hell?

Or something else? Those are the 3 most popular beliefs. I believe it describes the Vatican perfectly.
