You have missed the meaning of blind trust. Blind trust is the following the good meant advise without even having the proofs. You can blindly trust the hell-warning of the theism without ever having any regrets. You better to start looking for True Theism, because you got to know, what there is the hell-warning. Just like gotten infinitely painfully doomed by unknown sickness, one starts to look for rightly suggested treatment. See film: Pilgrims Progress - Journey to Heaven, 2008.

I can't recall who coined it (Esquilax?), but I shamelessly stole it.

I introduced it here, but I didn't coin it. Can't remember where I got it from, but I like that it's gained traction. It's one of the better swears. Tongue

Cool, I'm with you. Lets blindly trust each other, OK. I can make you a multimillionaire within one year. You must trust me on this. The first thing you need to do is send me 40,000 US$. I'll invest it wisely and safely in desert front property, penny stocks and uranium mines. The one caveat is that you is that you won't be able to have access to the millions until the year of your death. But you can be comforted by the fact that your loves ones will be taken care of for life. If you trust me and agree to these terms let me know and I'll give you a post office box address to send the funds to. Once the funds transfer we can begin. You, or your family, will have a wonderful future. If you don't agree you are condemning your family to a life of poverty and torture. Trust Me Blindly!

Sound anything close to the promise of heaven or hell?

You are a putz.

Something about smoking only being bad for you if you can read the warnings on the packet. I think.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

It's either that or completely ignorant of what the Borg represent.

Silly season. I think it's the warm weather that fetches them out, making them spawn early.

We sometimes have the rare poetic muslim with a really broken english, fun times with them. It's like reading the Qur'an with no paragraphs. Anyway Keep Laughing bcuz Allah is the One Tru God and U will realize that soon, but I am not One to Judge, pece brother
