The bolded is not true. SOME on the left support Islamists. Not all of them do. Those who are truly liberal do not support Islam. Some on the right oppose Islam for religious ideological reasons, and not because it's an ideology with the purpose of controlling the lives of its adherents. Whether...

And working a normal schedule again just sucks!

I'm so sorry Chris- I haven't been around lately. So sorry for that- have just been tied up elsewhere and with work.

My observation is that we tend to see in others, what we dislike in ourselves. Whenever someone really gets under my skin, I ask myself if it's because they remind me of me in some manner.

The force has been with me for years. I've tried to get rid of it, but it won't leave.

I like a sort of wild native look to my environment. :tongue:

Well, you're not exactly the average guy, Alan1, lol. As for hell, you know I don't believe it exists as a place, and you also know that I don't practice dogmatic or traditional religion. Religion is one of those things that some of us want or need for our own reasons, just as it's something...

Essentially, I practice my own brand of religion, and I am the only member, so it's wherever I am. ;)

Hah- a most excellent post- I'm lmao! "Don't leave your seats yet, folks. With that sacrifice fly driving home the runner from third now making the score Islam 2,956,347 to Christianity 1 with two outs in the bottom of the ninth, it's anybody's game. "

Seriously? You haven't seen enough of my posts to realize that I don't just pull stuff out of my hat? I'm quite surprised at your reply to my post. Wow.

Yes, it IS horribly sad, and you were the one being an ass about it, and about what kind of God would do that, which was a pretty stupid question, meant to inflame. I may not be a "believer", but I sure as hell try to keep in mind that people have their beliefs for reasons, and being an asshole...

I guess whichever God rules over stupid teenagers.

From one of my favorite philosophers, Buckaroo Banzai, "Remember. No matter where you go, there you are". ;)

Actually, I suspect that as God gets less popular, government gains in popularity, not as an object of respect, but as a caretaker of sorts. People rely on government much more than we did in generations gone by. Why trust in God when you don't need him. That's how shallow many people have become.
