Well, you know ... 
They don't allow guns in OZ 
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.

What? No 'Miss Congeniality'? I was a shoo-in for that. 
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.

You don't want to know. He doesn't make weird look good. He's the annoying kind of weird.

As ABBA so wisely said:
The winner takes it all
The loser has to fall
It's simple and it's plain
Why should [you] complain?
Teenaged X-Files obsession + Bermuda Triangle episode + Self-led school research project = Atheist.

Somehow... I can't imagine you cutting me. I wonder why that is.
Rakshasa might bleed, though I cannot say I've seen it.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

Thank you to everyone who voted for me. It's most pleasing to have placed in so many categories. And congratulations to all the winners, and all who placed. Last year, when I didn't win anything, I thought that my one chance had passed me by, as I had felt that I'd peaked at the end of last year, and would never come close again. Despite having been rather reclusive much of the year, apparently I've had a second chance.
Thanks to everyone who voted, and congratulations to those who placed. The real winners here, though, are somewhat overlooked by these awards, and that is all who have found their way to this lovely oasis.
Hats off to Tiberius and the rest of the staff for making this a wonderful place to be.
If it makes you feel any better I feel you peaked last year as well.
