Jesus said wine will be served at that great party in the sky; beats me why Hitchens didn't want to go..

Brewer, I think it's time we sit down together and have that talk about the birds and bees. [emoji13]
I'm with you MH. I just dropped 3 kids off at the pool. No idea what she's talking about?

It's always been easy for me because I never believed in an afterlife and assumed death was the end anyways. I remember when I was like 7 crying at one point because I was so happy and never wanted to die and I was thinking about the fact I was going to die one day. I was like 7. Yeah I've always been deep

I do reckon that being a parent does make me fear for my life. I am needed for my daughter, otherwise, no, it will happen whenever and I am OK with it. I am not afraid to die, just don't want to.

Yeah, he's dead though. That's probably not gonna be a great trade for you. We'll all be dead soon enough, at least he got to be Freddie Mercury in the interim. I dig holes for a living. I'm not saying it's an easy call...I'm just saying it's not always an easy call.
