to inflated egos but to some wild speculation regarding a life after death, and a glorious one at that.
Loving father figure included (Though, not much mention of the soft bosoms of a Goddess figure to take care of us guys).
Maybe that's what it would take for me to buy into the Eternal Dream, you know like the 67 virgins promised by Muslim extremists.
Well that number is way too high and kinda scares me to death, along with the idea of eternity with my deceased
relatives. Many of which, I didn't care for in the first place. Eternity is a really, really, really, (I could keep writing really's
forever here) long, long, long............................................time!!! I will pass!
I love the idea of working on an intense appreciation of what this life does offer. The beauty of nature, our friends, loved
ones, our physical beings, our abilities and our apprehensions. There is plenty to deal with here and now to make a life
from. An eternal struggle to be the best human beings we can be!
I thought it was 72 virgins.... anyway, I think more than 10 would be annoying unless you could have a group meeting to let them all know at the same time what your preferences are.
Also, did you know that there is a site called wikiislam . net ?...... there is a wiki for everything now days. Welcome to AF.
Seventy two! What if they’re all Ed Sheeran fans? That's not heaven that's hell!
And welcome to both your sorry arses.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.
