A fatalist is someone who believes they are powerless to change their destiny. If you were looking for something synonymous with close-minded, I think 'conservative republicans' would have been better.

Miles, lol, how close to Lexington are you? I predict severe drunkeness, explosions, and state police are in your future.

Everything you predicted is already in richmond, ever heard of Turpin drive?
From my house it would take about 10 minutes to get to lexington, takes like 3 minutes to get past the Loves gas station. One of our middle school principals got a DUI charge 2 years ago, so I think you predicted a little bit late. ![[Image: 4rynft.jpg]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=i53.tinypic.com%2F4rynft.jpg) Religion is like a Penis, you shouldn't whip it out in public and you shouldn't shove it down your child's throat.

I certainly wouldn't be terribly worried about going. I already know what is required to change my mind; evidence. I don't think most church services are overly bothered with giving empirical evidence for the existence of God or Jesus, since they are (no pun intended) preaching to the converted. So I find it hard to believe that anything would come up that would change my mind, being that I am impervious to appeals to emotion and personal experience.
With that being the case, it's probably a waste of time, but if it was for a bet and I stood to win money, I would happily do it. I might also do it for research.  RE: Would you go to church just to prove it won't change anything about you?

I've actually gone to Catholic church a few times in my life.
It was mostly to hit on the women. Standing through the service was a pretty good excuse to stare at their asses. RE: Would you go to church just to prove it won't change anything about you?

Rgr that, and shame is a powerful aphrodisiac.

I was dating a self-described young fundamentalist Christian woman for a while back in '97, and yes, she put out. Despite her own acknowledgement that she was sinning she still went to church every Sunday as she had since she was born. I went along on a few occasions, if for no other reason than to enjoy the irony of what was to come when we got back to my place later. It didn't change me, and I was surprised to find it kind of interesting. Its all nonsense, of course, but from an anthropololgical point of view it was culturally and historically fascinating. If you marvel at the behavior and try to analyze it dispassionately it is quite interesting to watch this primitive ritual unfold.

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity. Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist. You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them. |
