Can I fire him? I would really like to fire him!

A few years before I was born, there was a Portuguese general, running for president in the time Portugal was a dictatorship ruled by prime minister Salazar, asked by the press about the prime minister, he said " Obviously, I will fire him.". He was murdered beforw even getting to be elected.

Regarding god, whatever that may be, you can't fire something imaginary, IMHO.


You're right of course. I was just indulging a fantasy.  Big Grin

Kinda hard to choose to believe with the lack of evidence.

If you choose to believe something, chances are you don't actually believe it. If you did, it wouldn't be a choice. You'd believe it, regardless. You wouldn't be able to not believe it.

You can choose to want to believe something of course, or to say you believe something. But actual belief is not about choice.
