In that case I'd have to say I'm 8 on te Dawkins scale.

Any of you guys read God is Not Great?

I loved God Delusion but just can't get into this one for some reason and I can't put my finger on why....

xx

I have 40 of waterstones vouchers that are destined for the popular science section. There's a few I've been meaning to pick up.

I'd recommend The God Delusion to anyone mildly interested in the subject. It is easy to read and is well structured.

Reading it through for the second time now, it really is an excellent book.

The athiests guide to Christmas is good too. Concentrates more on being funny but still raises good points.

The female news reporter seems to misunderstand the point of the replacement sign.

Went in for a tattoo yesterday late 7pm place seem clean, Guy at reception very helpfu.l

Went into get my tattoo of 3 stars with my childrens initials in there was shading around them and small stars which i asked for in pink on looking at my tattoo when done the small stars which i had stated i wanted pink were black said to the guy and they then went over the edge in pink wasnt really that bothered. I likes the tattoo until i got home and got a photo taken close up the letters in the stars were meant to be M,N and H well to my horror the H looks like a K everyone has said so and i need to live with that now im so annoyed until that was spotted i was so pleased with this place now im almost in tears as there is no way its going to be able to be fixed without looking horrendous. I have to go back in tomorrow for it to be fixed but i cannot see it being fixed and still looking good was a real pity cause i really liked the place.

"worst post ever"

"A simple mistake resulting in a permanent mark on my body"

One of my pal's managed that achievement, although not at the same time.

He said that the Mum was better in the sack. More experience etc etc..

*achievement unlocked - shagged a jehovas witness and her ma' - 50G"

.....discuss

actually, there is no room for discussion:

This is a very sensitive subject...

Just the two of us [repeat 2x]

yeahhhhhh ahum ahum

[verse 1]

From the moment I heard Frau

Said I had a clone

I knew that I'd be safe

Cuz I'd never be alone

An evil Dr. shoudln't speak aloud bout his feelings

My hurt and my pain don't make me too appealing

I'd hope Scott

Would look up to me,

Run the buisness of the family

Head an evil empire,

Just like his dear old dad

Give him my love and the things he never had

Scott would think

I was a cool guy

returned the love I have

make me wanna cry

Be evil, but had my feelings too

Chaged my life with Opra and Mya Angelou

But Scott rejected me

C'est La Ve

Life is cruel, treat you unfairly

Even so, a God there must be

Mini-me, you complete me.

Just the two of us [repeat 10x]

Uh-huh

Yeah

Just me and you

Gettin jiggy with it

Yeah, ahum

Quite pleasent really

YOU AND I

Daddy loves you

Daddy loves you

you and I

"my friend laughed so hard at religion that he died"

"thats going in":

This is a weird one, but the guy who's having dinner with Laura - the girl with the itchy scalp - in the Head 'n' Shoulders advert. Smug cunt.

Also, Neil Lennon.

Minutes after reading this the ad came on the tv.

Let her talk!

They still haven't turned up so I've decided just to go out for lunch instead.

If they keep hassling me I'll have no reservations about telling them where to go. They've been perfectly nice so far though and I think if I tell them I'm just not interested they'll be accepting of that. You can request to be put on a no call list.

I don't know actually. Probably telling them you're a heamophiliac or an army reserve would work better. they apparently frown on blood transfusions or military service.

This is why I never fuck with them because they seem to have a sixth sense for catching me in a weak moment.

(you could just hide behind the sofa when they call)

I think being gay is a big no-no for the witnesses right?

Or even co-habiting with my girlfriend beige marriage should do the trick.

The Watchtower is probably the least coherent of rambling religious brochures to be had.

(that's a good one, call it a brochure or mention The Watchtower and Tract society, if they deny all knowledge get them to read you the copyright.)

PS good luck with your initiation, they do apparently have some amazingly fit birds and it's a man's world

They only left me with "AWAKE!" (which is pretty rambling)

I don't think we'll be getting as far as an initiation but I got a chuckle out of that. I hope they don't arrive anytime soon. Still trying to shift a cold and u really can't be done with it today.

They don't believe in divorce right? If I tell them I'm divorced would that be enough to put them off?

I've just been reading over some of the booklets the JW's left me before they arrive. I like this opening line in one of them:

"a new group of athiests has arisen in society. Called the new athiests, they are not content to keep their views to themselves. Rather, they are on a crusade 'actively, angrily, passionately trying to persuade the religious to their point of view".

What exactly were they doing at my door last week?

Uh-oh, i better put my wild behaviour in check. Quoting someone out of context must be high on the lords list of brimstone related vengeance.

"Then the Lord rained brimstone and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah, from the Lord out of the heavens"* Genesis 19:24.* "Turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, making them an example to those who afterward would live ungodly"* II Peter 2:6.*

"what is mind? doesn't matter. What is matter? Never mind" - HJS.

That's the one, I was looking for it in one of his books but maybe it was from the TV series.

This thread has the potential to turn into a complete mind fuck.

Here's the linkage for the series, unfortunately it is no longer being shown.

Stephen Hawking's Universe - Series 1 - Channel 4

It's already heading that way!

I'll have to check that out. I missed it when it was on.

Yeah I'm aware that when Hawking's uses the term 'God' he's not referring to the big guy up in heaven.

I don't know if he was referring to dark matter or not in that quote.

My take on it was that the only role 'God' had in the creation of the universe was to define the initial rules and parameters and that's it, nothing else.

I'm with you now. So do you believe if this architect god exists that he doesn't really care about our progress? As in, yes, he created us but didn't necessarily hang around to find out what became of us?

Personally, I don't believe in an intervening God.

I think Stephen Hawking sums it up pretty well:

Hawking stated a few months ago that when he uses the word "god" he means whatever driving force was behind the creation of the universe. He isn't referring to an old man with a White beard sitting on a cloud or any other incarnation of the god in the Christian sense.

I believe he could have been talking about dark matter in that quote?

Just to take you out of context for a second. I could have made it even worse but that's not cool.

The only real "evidence" of god is a dusty old work if fiction, homosexuals on the other hand are quite real.

some people might decide from it that people who don't believe in God or homosexuals are sinners

Shit, they're on to me.

The imperfections I listed before by the way.

The incest, the jealousy etc.

Obama does

Etc. There are plenty more!

How so? I was talking about the way god is portrayed in the bible. If he is meant to be omnipotent (you get pills for that now) and infallible how can he have all these mortal imperfections?

I've met plenty of religious people who have berated my opinions. I guess you've just been lucky so far. I'm not saying theists are cunts, I'm saying their lord and saviour is.

I thought this was meant to be a debate? Inevitably it's just become a thread about making fun of people.

I tried to avoid this initially but I find it's best to just go with the flow.

Well done for getting a bill and ted quote in and keeping it on context. Excellent post.

It's the whole vengeful, incestuous, bigoted, homophobic jealous yet omnipotent part I find hard to get my head around. Also if you ask most religious people, "are your parents religious?" they will say yes. It's just passed down brainwashery.
