OK, I was always kinda on the fence about religion, didn't really think about it much. I think that's normal, you know, you don't think about it much as a kid when question it naturally as an adult.

My dilemma sounds silly but it seriously got me thinking. Before you read this you have to know I REALLY love my TV shows. I don't interact with other people much, live alone and just having my favourite stuff like Oprah on series link (I found out from reruns there were somehow I hadn't seen?). So basically my favourite stories, TV or movies, are my life.

I have a friend called Patrick (yes, a male friend, but we are taking it slow - first base is enough for now!) who I really like. He likes TV shows like me. I wanted him to watch Torchwood, this UK TV show about underground superheroes that are really normal human beings just saving the world from alien encounters. I love it so much and wanted to share the experience of watching with him.

Three times now we've tried to get it to play on his TV but each time it never works. Its always for weird reasons, too, like abnormal things... his building is brand-new but they don't have bluetooth or wifi to transfer files? (They're not that huge. They are .avis btw) So there was no network connection to transfer them across. Then, it turned out ALL THREE of his USB ports had stopped working, so it was pointless using my memory stick to get the Torchwood episodes. Not only that... but one of the ports only stopped working last night....

Then he tried downloading it and it's not working. It's really depressing. It's been at 4% on urtorrent now for like 5 hours. I can tell it's destined that Patrick isn't going to see this show because this messed-up stuff keeps happening and he's not too keen to watch it anyway, it's more like I'm pushing him, because Torchwood means so much to me and he would love the message from the show (that humans love their children). It's not a bad message to send, so why can't we get it to work on his TV?

It sounds like I'm overexaggerating but I feel like if this sort of thing - deliberately sabotaging my life by throwing in needless stumbling blocks - serves no purpose. In fact it's cruel. I think fate is dark.

Uhm.... Have you tried switching it off and back on again?

Clearly the greatest catastrophe since the great tsunami of '04. Now we finally know there is no God.

I denied the existence of the Holy Spirit and my torrents work fine. Just saying...

Honestly I don't really see what this has to do with Christianity, or anything at all.

OP, prepare to have your thread moved.

EDIT: Thread moved to off topic.

OK I know you are being sarcastic. Even females can tell you know.

I did not mean to indicate that Torchwood should be every person in the world's favourite show. I think if you love God more than Torchwood than I respect and salute you. I just sometimes feel like I myself love Torchwood much more than God. I think it a lot and it no longer bothers me. I do wonder what this makes me however.

And anyway - What is it to you, what my favourite thing in life is? I don't make analogies about you being obsessed with porn and compare your guilt over it to an event like 9/11!

Also it's easy to judge when you've never been in the same position

I grew up in the age of the floppy disk. They died on my every other day in the most inconvenient of circumstances - believe me, I know how it feels

That's like, off the scale man.
