Well, I suppose it could be worse. At least you believe in God.

Why do you morons think it's a good idea to believe in magic gods?

What makes you think you are so ****ing superior because you are a BELIEVER?

What gives you the right to dictate your ****ing stupid beliefs in magic on
everyone?

And why do you pick and choose what to follow in your stupid bible?

You are a sick ****! You are brain damaged goods... You think it's bad to show
a women stuck with a penis, but perfectly OK to show it with a knife!!

You religious ****ing freak-shows make me sick!

Thanks for 9-11

thanks for Ireland

Thanks for Palestine

Thanks for all the middle east and the un-countable dead.

Thanks for Indonesia

the list goes on and on...

just notice one thing - no atheists were involved, ****er!

What makes me happy? Since there is no heaven or life after death - you will
sacrifice certain things in your life for a reward, (like virgins and wine no
doubt) but you will get JACK ****!!!

HA HA HA!!!!!!!!!!

oh, one last thing - PLONK!

I heard all that sort of talk a thousand times Mr Smarter @ then.

I hope you are serenely peaceful with your philosophies.

But answer one question if you can.
If the universe is infinite, then what or who brought it into existance?

I'll try to help you answer it with optional answers, since there may be an
infinite number of answers
that all could be correct, or incorrect, but to really be able to judge you'd have
to be
what I myself consider to be GOD, the only possible entity that could know all
about the universe, ie, have infinite knowledge about a structure that is infinite.
God is an all knowing being way beyond out comprehension,
since compared to God we are grossly ignorant. That's because we are finite beings,
not infinite ones.
The knowledge of the universe requires a brain of infinite size.
I have no way of knowing if God or whatever deity people choose to have care
jack**** about me or yourself,
and on numerous occasions I have proved to myself at least that prayer does not
work.
Work instead of prayer probably is more useful.
But to a person dying of cancer, prayer could be everything.

I guess I could be called an atheist by some, but I reckon there's something out
there a lot more
powerful and wondrous than a thousand million Mr Smarters gathered together, or the
same number of
myselfs or anyone else.

But I did hear gathering of six concert harpists gathered together for a sunday
concert
and although I know its total BS, I reckoned that I must not sin again because if I
do I risk
not being allowed into Heaven, and that's place I wanna go, merely because the
music is so beautiful,
and I had heard what seemed to come from heaven at that concert, and I wanna get up
There to hear more
later. If I actually think about it logically, I doubt I will be around at all
after death, I'll just not be,
and just be un-alive, a dead weight of useless meat and bone, and soul-less, since
there is no evidence
to lead me to believe anyone has a soul.

But I can enjoy silly mythology rather like the Greeks enjoyed theirs, and
civilizations before and since have done
simply because there was no other story which gave mirth to our days of struggles.

The God of the bible bashers does not and cannot exist for me.
The merciless Allah who dictates terror for the infidel is a meaningless item.
The 300 Hindu gods don't inspire my sense of truth either.
Budha does nothing for me.

But there is much we can learn that is useful for out survival from the teachings
of all the faiths.

I have known some wonderful "atheists" and wonderful religious people.
There are some real arsoles amoung commercial people; you'd think people pedling
tobacco
would see the trouble they cause, and find employment elsewhere. But if it wasn't
for the
worshippers of the dollar then where would you be? Up that creek without a paddle
my friend.

I look at the stars at night and think "....some darn thing is out there......dunno
exactly what......"
