Re: Predestined to be a Christian or a non-Christian?

Since all are prisoners of causality, all are worthy of compassion. I am sure as hell not going to show compassion to all. That is a huge disaster in the making as there are all sorts of people in the world willing to take advantage of that compassion. There is a difference in cognitive awareness b...

Re: Our very own countdown thread!

Nasty? Well, I suppose it wasn't very nice. I've never been an "ooh! look at the darling baby" sort of person. Dogs, however, I've got a great deal more time for.

Would it have been better without the emoticons?

Re: Once you've 'had' a deity .....

Poisoning the minds of children is, to me, a form of abuse. Sometimes I think there aught to be some kind of minimum criterea parents have to meet, before they are allowed to procreate.

It's not too difficult to imagine white cops in the lower ranks saying something like "Why should I take orders from some bleedin' Paki?

Also very interesting, for me, is the publically declared distinction between "peace loving hindu community" and "Militant Islam".
