Perhaps *you* should explain how your "God" **** is remotely
relevant to the reliability and/or planned obsolescence of
electronics, Mr. Corn-Dog Intellect.

"Acts of God"... is a well know business term.

oooooh .... a "debating trade" ploy.

Aaah, I see your problem, too. You need a bigger
shovel.

I agree. I used to have a great big one, but then I killfiled
Krooger. I guess I need to pull it out of mothballs if I want to
clear out some your droppings.

Do what you got-to-do !


Do you honestly believe that insurance policies are religious
mantras?

God references are interwoven into the underpinnings of
our society. "In God we trust," "one nation under God," etc.

Those are not underpinnings, they are the empty, hypocritical,
sanctimonious bleatings of pandering politicians.

We do not live in a Godless society.

How delusional of you.

The reality is that we live in a society that is supposed to allow
complete freedom of religion. Are you familiar with the U.S.
Constitution?

The Constitution protects religions... freedom to worship
any notion of God. Separation of church and state is
designed to protect the citizen from governmental hindrance
of religious expression, too.

The Constitution doesn't protects atheists, for example,
because it isn't a religion.


As I last recall you recently move your ideology dipstick
from atheist to agnostic. Were you just hedging your
bet, George ?

As far as your lamebrained idea of "God", Help Desk Boy, it is
purely a figment of your imagination. However, many deep thinkers
(some scientists among them) have postulated a "God" of an entirely
different nature, the nature of which may be provable. Sadly, these
notions are beyond both your ability to comprehend and your tiny
willingness to think about unknowns.

God is a thought, an idea. But its reference transcends
all thinking. All religions are true in this sense, they are
metaphorical of the human and cosmic mystery. Why not
recognize that?

You seem to be hung-up on objective ("provable") reality
which limits thinking to rationalizations. Statistics, for
example, defy objective rationality but we seem to live with
the duality quite well.


Here's one from work today: The document didn't print. The
application (MS Office) didn't report a problem. The printer had
paper in its trays and wasn't sounding a toner alarm. What was it?
The first geek said, "Network problem!" The second geek said,
"#%(*
Microsoft problem!" The third geek said, "You're both wrong. It's
transcendicity -- the electrons have become disoriented and are
unable to be absorbed by the printer's pargonomic aura."

Ok, I read it. Sounds like your job environment is making
you suffer. Is that a problem for you?

Parables are not real and true, silly. They are ... parables.

Wrong again, Georgie-poo.

par-a-ble (par'uh buhl) n.
1. a short allegorical story designed to
illustrate or teach some truth,
religious principle, or moral lesson.

God, you are stupid. "Poo" to you, Powie.

Hehehe... I guess you should choose your words
more wisely, so to speak.


How is it that you are so spiritually empty given all of the real
life experiences you've had with death (mortuary business)?
Have you never had a single experience of divinity as a result?
How can you not be effected by these experiences? What
deeper meaning have these experience taught you, if anything?

That we should have embraced euthanasia long ago, for starters.

I was looking for something deeper than a mud
puddle, mr. Superficial.
