Which forum members would you like to meet?

I was going to say that I'd like to meet each and every one of you. But after scrolling through all posts and not finding my name mentioned a single time, I've decided that I wouldn't like to meet ANY of you.
No, no...don't try to talk me out of it, me mind's made up. I feel so rejected that the only thing for me to do now is to go lie on the sofa and yell for someone to bring me a beer. That'll show you. Boru

I'd like to meet most of you - even the sodding bastard above me. Anyone who finds themselves visiting the northwest corner of the US has an open invitation to hoist a couple hundred pints.

I would like to say this. I want to meet drich, I really do. If only to see if my mental image of him And how much of a mess of human he is lines up with reality.
That said i 'd like to meet boru badwritersparty and minimalist too.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.   be careful what you wish for.

If only to see if my mental image of him And how much of a mess of human he is lines up with reality. Growing up in a very controlling and insular cult (JWs) I can say that nearly all of the people I knew where generally indistinguishable from any other person. Same with most of the non-JW religious folks. Even if you got them talking about religion. I think that we're wired to want to fit in socially, and most people aren't going to blurt out their most closely-held or more controversial religious views to every person they meet. I think most of the regulars here would be pretty cool to meet and spend a short time with. I would hesitate with those like Koolay, who seem to have a hangup about a particular topic and would probably be either boring or embarrassing to be around. And I would not want to meet someone like jstrodel, who struck me as a bit of a lunatic. If I cannot mentally separate a person from a persona, I figure they're a disaster waiting to happen.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

I must've been tired.. and I posted cat memes not in the cat meme thread.. Mods to the rescue?!
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite. Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment. Quote:Some people deserve hell. I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong. ![[Image: tumblr_n1j4lmACk61qchtw3o1_500.gif]](https://66.media.tumblr.com/5fb74c6d16622fb3dbb358509c9aec03/tumblr_n1j4lmACk61qchtw3o1_500.gif)
