Strega

@Strega: that’s hysterical! Atheists screwing around with other Atheists and Theist no less.

Reminded of an incident Robert Redford related about his friend Paul Newman. Knowing that Newman enjoyed auto racing and fast cars he hired a tow company to deliver a Porsche to Newman’s driveway. It was beat up and couldn’t possibly start up with chipp…[Read more]

@strega – “The effect on me, was to discover myself in a position to actually assist, rather than just go in circles around the problem with no solution as an end result.”

– there has to be a link between this and the fact that “helping in response to need” is the no.1 ethical value.  When someone is in need, and we approve of the person (i.e.…[Read more]

@Strega, Anything excepting Alice that is and only once you are prepared to walk a half a mile. I sometimes run there.

@strega if you’re interested in Sufism, this book comes recommended, and it’s only cheap.

The Garden of Truth: The Vision and Promise of Sufism, Islam’s Mystical Tradition

I just bought it from the magic shop that lives on my desk, using some of the magic money that the government gives me every two weeks for doing nothing.

I don’t know @strega, according to my information, the Sufis are an ancient and honorable sect.  They’re the hippies of the Muslim world, and of course, Isis fucking hate them.  Rumi is the famous Sufi poet I believe.  I’ve got a lot of time for his stuff.

@Strega I prefer to stay anonymous, not because I think the HR rep would blab or that the company would retaliate, I just don’t want to have a target on my back in case it gets out that someone complained and there is a personal response from my fellow employees. (The majority of them are Christians, and I can totally see a “But how could anyone…[Read more]

@strega – those skinheads are so pretty, I don’t know what’s wrong with me.

I agree, @strega – each relationship is unique.

“Love” has a number of broad definitions, and if we really want to analyse it, then a relationship can have several of these different kinds.

@Strega, I will photocopy some of my pamphlets and post them over to you. I will make the copies doubled sided to be environmentally friendly and to cut down on postage costs. Wait, I will just pick one at random and send that instead. Then you can drop into your local copy shop and make as many as you need.

@Strega, It’s always bothered me that the bible talks about unicorns…. but are they like, horses with a horn, or are they just rhinos? Who knows !??!

@strega – “physical description”

– it’s acknowledged that God doesn’t have physical form.  There isn’t some kind of creature who lives in some place, who is God.

“Now we have people who think they are in direct communication with this force. That this force wants something from humans individually. That this force can dish out punishments and…[Read more]

@Strega what a perfect answer haha

@TomSarbeck as an ex-Catholic I can relate

I might be completely confused here. I thought you said in another thread that you were an Atheist.

@strega – God also represents a plan for living.  I think Belle would be more of an expert on this than me.

@dansnell dangmartin – “At all costs? What costs would those be?”

– I mean “criticise” instead of “analyse”.  I don’t understand the rest of your points.

@strega – I have a nephew who is classed as autistic, but he definitely isn’t the stereotypical kind.  He’s non-verbal, and communicates by pointing to letters on a board.  He is freakishly sma…[Read more]

@strega – I certainly wouldn’t want to fall asleep in your garden on the way home from the pub.
