Actual conversation from last year's holidays as I watched "Christmas Vacation" with my wife:
[Shopping mall scene when Clark is talking to the hot counter girl]
Wife in accusatory tone: You want to do her, don't you?
Me: Come on! Can't we just watch the movie?
Wife: I'm serious. She's very attractive. You'd fuck her if you got the chance, right?
Me: Of course not! I only have eyes for you, honey.
Wife: Don't be an asshole. Would you?
Me: You're not going to drop this, are you?
Wife: Nope. Just answer the question. If you could fuck her without any consequences, would you do it?
Me: *sighs* I suppose. Yes, yes, in a consequence-free world I'd fuck her. Ok? Happy?
Wife: I knew it!
[We stare at the TV in silence for a few seconds]
Me: But you would too, wouldn't you?
Wife in a small voice: Yes.
And that, folks, is an example of why I haven't heard five consecutive minutes of dialogue in a film since marrying this woman.

Alternatively you could have said eww, no she would be very gross, she would be in her 60s/70s now (look how old chevy chase is now) She's probably the 'Mystery celebrity' you see in the front page of the enquirer standing in the check out line with the little bar bar across her eyes (like that's going to be a big give away clue) that gain like 700lbs.
(which is what I said in a similar situation)
Plus we only have the one "freebie" CELEBRITY Pass. I initially said Jennifer Aniston and she said the "Produce manager at Publix..." So after a 'spirited discussion' we only have the one free pass with real celebrities now. No youtube a-holes or even just tv people they have to have been at least in real 3 movies. and it has to be declared before hand... no Oh, I changed mine to so and so.. oh, guess who I met today..

The produce manager at Publix?
I recommend you do the grocery shopping whenever possible.

From what I gather, 'spirited discussions' in your home involve the Mrs. heaving things at your head. You must practice with wrenches.

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.

Not a contradiction, but a song most Christians probably don't think about:
"What a Strange Way to Save The World". It kind of admits that Christianity is ridiculous.
The whole tone of Church teaching in regard to woman is, to the last degree, contemptuous and degrading. - Elizabeth Cady Stanton

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Well... let's keep in mind that Christmas comes from the Pagan Yule Festival.. which had nothing to do with Jesus or Christianity. So right there is the biggest contradiction of all.
“Love is the only bow on Life’s dark cloud. It is the morning and the evening star. It shines upon the babe, and sheds its radiance on the quiet tomb. It is the mother of art, inspirer of poet, patriot and philosopher.
It is the air and light of every heart – builder of every home, kindler of every fire on every hearth. It was the first to dream of immortality. It fills the world with melody – for music is the voice of love.
Love is the magician, the enchanter, that changes worthless things to Joy, and makes royal kings and queens of common clay. It is the perfume of that wondrous flower, the heart, and without that sacred passion, that divine swoon, we are less than beasts; but with it, earth is heaven, and we are gods.” - Robert. G. Ingersoll

Right? I'm going to my step sister's Yule party this year on the 21st (my step mom's bday) and from what I hear, it's going to be a blast! x)
