(father...ftfffather....where for art thou'..?...................trying to find out who your dad is behind that 'family man' veneer isn't all that tough........he's a scared little man!) full for what ...... shit?..........trying too hard to look the part! -------------------------------------------------------------- In exchange for obedience, Christianity promises salvation in an afterlife; but in order to elicit obedience through this promise, Christianity must convince people that they need salvation, that there is something to be saved from. Christianity has nothing to offer a happy person living in a natural, intelligible universe. If Christianity is to gain a motivational foothold, it must declare war on earthly pleasure and happiness, and this, historically, has been its precise course of action. In the eyes of Christianity, woman(man) is sinful and helpless in the face of God, and is potential fuel for the flames of hell. Just as Christianity must destroy reason before it can introduce faith, so it must destroy happiness before it can introduce salvation. -- George H Smith, Atheism: The Case Against God

To me it seems sinister as if there are some really ugly secrets hiding... -------------------------------------------------------------- Marquis de Sade (Quills): Are your convictions so fragile they cannot stand in opposition to mine? Is your god so flimsy, so weak? For shame.

"Turn the Page" is also awesome, BTW. -------------------------------------------------------------- "I"m not a witch, but I wish I was. If I live I"d be a witch now after what they have done. I"ll burn their crops and kill their animals. I"ll stir up such storms. I"ll scatter their ships across the world. If I could meet with the devil right now, I would give him anything for power, for he is the only way to power for women in this world. I shouldn"t have been afraid of Ellen, I should have learnt. Oh, if I only had magic, I"d make them feel it." Caryl Churchill, "Vinegar Tom" "It might be the greatest thing ever invented, but if it"s invented, then it"s not worth dying for."
