Based on the evidence presented above, I'm not a man, but I'm definitley not a woman either. Not only that, but I don't believe I even know any women. Are they an endangered species? If such are their habits, it wouldn't surprise me.

[foot-loose]

You're a Yudster.

Yudsters are endangered species.

[Yudster]

Thats a comfort to everyone I'm sure.

The wonderful thing about Yudsters
Is Yudsters are wonderful things!
Their tops are made out of rubber;
Their bottoms are made out of springs!
They're bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy,
Fun! Fun! Fun! Fun! Fun!
But the most wonderful thing about Yudsters is
She's the only one!

I've always thought that she has a very springy bottom.

It's comments like this that make me think there's a lot of things going on here outside of just threads that are quite possibly far more interesting than the threads themselves...

[foot-loose]

Not at all. Well, not really. Well, probably.

[Yudster]

Well - bouncy, trouncy, flouncy and pouncy I'll admit to. I'm not at all sure they constitute absolutely unadulterated fun, fun, fun. fun, fun! though.

[MK Chris]

Could be adulterated fun though - which, let's face it, is far better than unadulterated fun.

[foot-loose]

Filth!!!

Caution, Yuds. Don't be too bouncy at this age! Things might not spring back up from whence they came. Then it'll be just flouncy and flouncy doesn't sound fun at all!

[Yudster]

I like a good flounce personally. And the springs are still working fine, thanks for the concern Sunny!

Wine goes straight to my head... although I suppose my wine glasses are quite large, they fit pretty much half a bottle and I had mine and half my mate's. But still, three quarters of a bottle, seasoned wine drinkers can normally do three or four bottles, right?

I'm finding a message foot-loose sent me probably funnier than I would do otherwise.

[foot-loose]

My messages are of the highest comedic quality.

Wine does not affect them.

[ladbroke]

I would consider myself a seasoned wine drinker, and prior to this month drank pretty much a bottle a day, but anymore than two bottles and I'd be hungover the next day for sure

[MK Chris]

Ah fair enough. Maybe I'm not too bad then.

I have a link of quotes to post. Before I do so, I would like to point out that the majority are funny, but some (particularly the third one) are extremely sad. I would also like to point out that I don't wish to start a religious argument, but that this highlights some very stupid religious people... while I am an atheist myself, I accept that there are some stupid atheists, as well as stupid theists. With that, you can decide whether to click or not. The link is here.

[Bonanzoid]

That one just made me laugh.

I found most of that really scary actually. Some of it was quite disturbing.

[MK Chris]

Some of it is very disturbing.

[Bonanzoid]

I just read the 3rd one, Tofu. That one is particularly sad, depressing and disturbing.

[foot-loose]

Ah, so you did post the link then Topher.

There are some scary people in the world. Some of those, i'm sure are just people taking the piss. Others will be serious. Some read like they are written by a ten year old.

Organised religion seems to have been either responsible, or the excuse, for so many problems over the years. In todays society, the problems are obviously still there although those who use them as an excuse can possibly do more damage now than they could previously.

I feel sorry for the huge majority of those who follow their faith in a normal, peaceful way. A lot of them are tarred by the same brush as those on that website.

[MK Chris]

In hindsight, the link is in the wrong thread. It probably deserved its own thread, or at the very least, to be in the annoying thread.

I have no desire to upset anyone, but the biggest problem I have with organised religion is that I am apparently going to burn in hell for not believing in a god, even though I am (in my opinion) not a bad person. No matter how much I've helped old people across the road, helped my sister out when she needed it or given to charitable causes, I am still going to burn for all eternity. Is that the work of a loving god? To me that is the work of a hateful god. Why does it harm god if I don't believe in him? The only way that non-believers could possibly harm 'him' is if 'he' doesn't exist - if the only way for him to exist is in people's minds, then non-believers can be quite detrimental to the whole faith thing. As far as I can tell, fear is the only reason to believe and frankly I refuse to believe in god on the off-chance that he may exist - which is not true belief anyway. What kind of god gives people freewill and then punishes them for using it?

Of course the other thing is that there are several different interpretations of the 'sacred' scriptures from each one, it's so totally ambiguous. Each one claims to be the definitive answer. Well, what if the Hindus are right? Or the Muslims? Or the Sikhs? If either of those cases are true, does that mean that Christians are going to burn in that correct religion's version hell? The thing is that my non-belief in the Christian god is no different to Christians' non-belief in Ganesh, Zeus or Norse. Religion is nothing better than dangerous nonsense.

I'm absolutely atheistic towards any organised religion, but as regards deism I suppose I'm more agnostic - I'm still not inclined to blindly believe though.

I would like to point out that I have no desire to offend anyone with this post, but the link I posted above, as foot-loose says, highlights some of the worst things about organised religion. This is what makes it particularly dangerous. I have no problem with people who just believe in god and that Jesus was the son of god or the human incarnation of god - you should believe what you feel is right to you - on the condition that that belief does no harm to others.

[CassieJackson]

I can sum it up in 3 words - I found that scary.

[Munki Bhoy]

I'm sticking with agnostic until someone proves the existence of God one way or another.

Yes, I have no belief whatsoever, and therefore probably miss the point entirely. Fortunately I have a moral code of my own, so I don't even need religion for that.

Everyone else can believe what they want to believe, who am I to judge?
