If there is a female god, or any god, or gods, I would first want a really good explanation why she, he, they, it have cocked things up so badly.
Why would it be their fault?
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

The idea of heaven is unpleasant.

Heaven sounds pretty dull.

I guess I don't think of heaven in the same way as Valmy and you seem to. It's not, to me, playing harps while sitting on clouds. Rather, it's a place of absolute knowledge and joy, however you may see that.

Absolute knowledge sounds awful. Spending eternity without anything new to learn seems boring to the extreme.

I've never heard a fire and brimstone sermon in my life :mellow:

I've heard about rosaries and miracles and the devil and confession - but never damnation.

That is because of two things.  First you do not live in North America.  Second you are Catholic.  Those two factors mean that you have experienced a theology that makes much more sense than what I experienced.

Yeah as I child I mainly felt (when not just boring) that Church was a place to remind me about how I damned to hell.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

"Heaven is a place on Earth."

:cool:

It's just other people that mess it up.   <_<



If there really is a god/gods in a heaven, then right off the bat I'm taking them to task for the weak scenario, confusing rules and poorly defined victory conditions, but will compliment them on the map.

They say in heaven, love comes first.

That would explain a lot.

Tell me all your thoughts on God, cause I'm on my way to see her.
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

I see your one hit wonder and raise you a true classic (from my guilty pleasures playlist)

First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

In which case I will burn your eardrums with blasphemy

Neither have I.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011
