yahoo randomly deletes my questions regardless of validity. grr..
quote is:
"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"
what do you guys think about this? agree/disagree and why or why not?

Yahoo may have been the method and instrument but Yahoo was not the cause. Who? When? Why?
I suspect the "Ghost Muslims" delete answers when they think that something might be insulting to them. That's the who and when.
The "why" is because they don't know how to play "chat".
Just watch. This answer will probably be deleted because they will not understand the word "chat".

Hello,
I am not planning on a journey to the grave. However I think your question is kind of out there. Is this a question for christian, if so i certainly don't want to be skidding into the Pearlie gates with chocolate and a martini. However thank you for know how to have fun. Good Luck

Well, it's interesting, but who said it? Where did you quote it from? Or who?
I guess it's just interesting. I agree because that's just how I think of life. I guess it's the agnosticism, but I just don't see the point in living for a higher power. I live for me. Whether it be with chocolate and martinis, or something a little less ridiculous like personal success, the achievement of personal goals, and the completion of personal tasks.
I would still like to know where you got it from though.

I dont agree necessarily with the whole "martini & chocolate in hands" thing, but definitely the "What a RIDE!" part.

I agree, because martinis are involved, and martinis are a good way to get me to agree to anything. If the Jehovah's Witnesses brought martinis around instead of cookies, I'd probably be in the 144,000 by now.

Ick, martinis.
I think believing in something better is ok. It's a goal that we hope to obtain. IF your perfect ideal is chocolate and (shudder) martinis, good for you.

I agree with the concept, if not the specific examples. I am a Christian who likes to drink, travel, and I also enjoy a good party. However, the body is a temple and we do need to take care of it. But God didn't put us here to sit idly by just waiting to die. We have work to do, relationships to build, souls to save and life to live. I think we can do all of those things without spiraling downward into a gluttony of drink, obesity and self-glorification.
(For the record, the bible DOES NOT say drinking is a sin. It says DRUNKENNESS is a sin. Know your limit, be responsible, and all should be well.)

I take care of myself, but not so that my body will remain attractive or well-preserved. I do it so that I can stay here as long as possible. I enjoy life, but not in such a way that could bring it to a premature end.

i agree. life should be lived to the fullest because its the only life you have to live. i'm not saying people shouldn't live without morals. it's still important to treat others how you would want to be treated. but have fun along the way and no regrets!

I will not spend my days tiptoeing through life to arrive safely at death.
