  What a very cross-making e-mail. I also hate the insinuation that without a God we'd all revert to being evil drunken fornicating thieving murderous maniacs. Before I let go of my belief in God, I seriously worried that without such a belief I would have nothing to stop me going about the town on my murderous and lustful rampages. However, all atheism has brought me is more peace and less guilt.

  Alas, I fear we will never hear the end of "Einstein believed, he was smart, ergo God" style arguments.

  Very nice reply tetrapod, loved it.

  I am an hairy man (facially) at present. I have never gone for the moustache option though, only when I shave off the beard I sometimes leave the moustache and chase mrs iggy about the house (she hates me with a moustache, says I look like some kind of creepy pervert)

  Bass guitar for me. I've been lucky enough to be in a band with a really good bunch of blokes this year. None of us take it too seriously, so we're just doing it for kicks and beer money. Recording the band is another of my interests. Apart from that, allotment and trying to learn german (long long term project that one).

  Glassblowing? Sounds cool

  http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/14/92000/1.ashx and i thought i'd open up the discussion again in the guise of "coming-out" to jwd.

  it's taken me about 5 hours to get the language and style of this post right.

  Nice one, Dorayakii. I'm singing a chorus or two of "Sing if you're glad to be gay" in your honour right now.

  I'm still laughing about your talking arse from the other thread.

  Sith, you are a talking arse. Never heard of a gay horse?

  I quit!:

  I have a question. Could someone tell me how to highlight a text and also how to separate paragraphs? Whenever I post everything seems to get pushed all together.

  Tick the Automatic Cr/Lf box underneath the posting window to stop your paragraphs disappearing. For the other functions, have a play with all the buttons you should see above the posting window. ig.

  God almighty, you'd be pretty dissapointed wouldn't you. Unrolling the new scrolls, possibly the most eagerly awaited new publication since the last Harry Potter book, only to find detailed information on how to dispose of poo.

  The Seven Deadly Sins

  by Crumpet in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i listened to this on the radio this morning as i scampered around trying to get ready for work and i thought it was excellent so i wanted to share it.. http://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/programmes/thought/documents/t20050620.shtml.

  "today is the start of social science week and to mark it the economic and social research council has published a report which links all kinds of current social ills to pride, anger, lust, avarice, gluttony, envy and sloth - in other words, the seven deadly sins.

  the report finds the sin of pride in the persistence of sectarian prejudice in northern ireland, it sees anger in uncontrollable tantrums in children and road rage in adults, lust in the ever-rising number of people who think its ok to have more than one sexual partner, avarice in the mounting levels of executive pay, gluttony in binge drinking and also in the steady overconsumption of alcohol by the middle-aged, envy in spiralling personal debt and lastly, sloth, the apathy reflected in spectacularly low turn-outs at the last two general elections.

  It's a good article.

  and I see you're indulging yourself in a bit of gluttony in the avatar piccie, Grumpet

  (it is a new piccie right? or is it just because I've turned the brightness up on my monitor? you were smoking in the last one, right?)
