When people say there's nothing after death, other people often say, 'But then what's the point of it all?' or 'But it all has to have some meaning!'

Well does it?

And would there be more of a point, more meaning, if there was life after death?

I thought it was silly. Clocks aren't intelligent to know these kind of things. If they are programed to show the year up until the year 1999. When the year 2000 comes, they can't say 'what comes next? I'm only programed up until now' they will go back to the year that was first programed into them.

What were you thinking in 1999?

Jesus wouldn't have been a white man, he would have been middle eastern looking or maybe even perhaps, black... omg..

The common image of Jesus that we've seen all of our lives is based upon this man

Cesare Borgia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cesare_Borgia

Son of Pope Alexander the VI, the Borgias are known as the first crime family.


He employed Leonardo da Vinci who painted both him and his sister (whom he had an incestous affair with most of his life) in the last supper.

Seriously Christians, it's time to take a long hard look at your religion. Now there's the real da Vinci code...

And that Chimps and Gorillas are vegetarians (untrue)?

This is serious, and not trolling. Where do they get their info? What books and anthropology journals say this?

america's mortgaged executive continues pay its dues to southern fundamentalists by prohibiting stemcell research.

meanwhile other governments are free to re-engineer the human genome as they see fit.

among the collateral likely benefits of a stemcell research project will be the capacity to build a 'reaper' virus: a virus which will fix on a specific genome marker and infect (and kill) only people carrying this dna segment. a reaper virus targeted at dna more common among americans (or among white americans, or even among americans of germanic origin) could decimate america's population, while leaving the country which released it untouched.

for the first time in recent history the rest of the world has access to a devastating weapon technology which the usa has decided to ignore.

or has it? can anyone think of a virus of recent origin which targets one social group at the expense of others?

If you put your watch forward by an hour a day without telling anyone would you be able to take a day off work at the end of the month without losing time? In a year could you get a week's holiday doing this?

No single Republican candidate has a solid grip on the Religious Right's considerable support and the Reverend Pat Robertson's endorsement of former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani dumbfounded many conservative Christians.

"Giuliani is pro-abortion, and pro-gay rights," said conservative Christian activist Bryan Fischer of Boise. "Those are simply non-starters for the majority of evangelicals."

Some pundits say it signals the end of the Religious Right's political influence in the USA.

Still, some political experts say the Religious Right's traditional social agenda is taking a back seat to more pressing issues.

Could this election be called the most wide-open presidential race in recent American history?

Issues: 1: Peace 2. Abortion 3.Iraq 4. Employment 5. Federal Deficit 6. Global Warming 7. Gun Control 8. Homeland Security 9. Immigration 10. Improving Schools 11. World Trade 12. Welfare 13. Death Penalty, etc.

Could it also be called the most ide OPEN race?
