We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember Tim W saying
something like:

All a complete load of ********, if you stop and think about it, isn't
it



So's being an atheist. "We, inclusing the universe, all randomly appeared by
a massive convergence of unlikely chances guided by the laws of physics and
evolutions."

What a load of ******** - who'd believe that tosh?

Works for me, but then again I can figuratively look infinity in the eye
and shrug. That's the problem with believers, see, they can't expand
their minds enough to just accept there isn't some great big figure up
there looking after them. It's a bizarre concept and I just let them get
on with it if it keeps them happy.

I can understand why some need a God to keep them happy.
Its fine as long as they don't have power.
When they have power they try and impose their stu^W beliefs on others and
that is just wrong.
The others aren't evil they just don't need the crutch.

You need a stick and a carrot to teach the young 'uns how to behave.

Once they grow up, they should realise why its necessary to behave
properly without.

Many never do grow up.

Mind you, which of us wouldn't pray to something or another when the
going got tough? They say atheists have never been to sea

When they ask you to pray just say
"ok you pray for God to save us, I will pray that you are right about God".

What has the efficacy of prayer got to do with the existence of God?

Dunno, but prayer is asking someone for something. Durga would be my choice

Is it? Not sure that's how I see it at all.

Depends on what she does with all those arms I guess. COULD be interesting.
