This is why Stephan Hawking is one of my favorite people. Few people can ever summerize the ridiculousness of theist views on reality so poignantly.
If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools and next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church. At the next session you may ban books and the newspapers...
Ignorance and fanaticism are ever busy and need feeding. Always feeding and gloating for more. Today it is the public school teachers; tomorrow the private. The next day the preachers and the lecturers, the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After a while, Your Honor, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth centry when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind. ~Clarence Darrow, at the Scopes Monkey Trial, 1925
Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. ~Ronald Reagan

Is this supposed to be contributing in some way?

Your question makes me wonder why you do not point this out to all other users to happen to post a casual comment. Of course that particular post was not intended to contribute to any discussion. It was simply a joke.

Lol sorry, I didn't realise it was a joke, it just seemed an entirely pointless (and what some might see as offensive) post.

A pencil might not seem to have a point, unsharpened it appears to be... but claim that and I shall stab you, with the eraser... and it will probably draw blood Smile

But really, why don't you descend on *my* posts with that assertion? I mean, random user is surely less nonsensical than I am Tongue
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

There are no REAL spiritual aspects of our existance.

That is the position I will take until someone comes up with convincing evidence to the contrary.

That wasn't as funny as I'd hoped it would be.

Agreed. It would suck living in Saudi Arabia or other places where they broadcast that noise over the loudspeakers several times a day.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

I'd be surprised if anaesthetic is even considered an option for muslim women, let alone cats. Allah likes it to hurt a bit!
