Actually many people become atheists because they want to have a damn good reason to believe in something. So atheists are actually the most moderate and unlikely to move towards a political „religion”.

soooooo.......................... who here likes chocolate? :beam:
I do! When it doesn't bite back.
I don't mean to knock you guys--I don't know you personally, but the individual is not usually the best judge of themselves.
Re: chocolate. Usually in small quantities. But sometimes I pig out and buy one of those big blocks of ambrosia chocolate and melt it with lots of butter to make it more rich and smooth and mix in peanuts. Then I dole it out in dollops and let it chill in the fridge. Then I spend a couple of days grabbing a piece every time I pass the fridge.
Then I run on the treadmill for extra time each day.
I'm agnostic.
a lot of religious ppl say that all religions except their own are heretical.
so as far as i'm concerned, theres no REAL way to know who's right.
Sooooooo, I read books from a lot of different religions, and if something makes sense, i put it in my head and and let it get analyzed by my common sense. if it doesnt make sense...i throw it out.
Like Socrates said:Analyze every belief you hold dear, and if it does not pass common sense, discard it without hesitation.
(that IS from socrates right? i'm not sure if that is Plato....though IIRC, that quote is what made the greeks force him to drink hemlock.)
Easter=
"Jesus Died!"
~:eek:
"HIDE THE EGGS QUICK!"
"where we gonna get the eggs from?"
"A Rabbit."
:inquisitive: :inquisitive: :inquisitive: :inquisitive:
:dizzy2:
:sweatdrop: :sweatdrop:
The story goes that Jesus died on Good Friday. Easter is when he rose again.Quote:

What I really don't get is all the hate between religions. Just look at the Christian vs Muslim comfrontations this day. Incredible. This two religions basic messege is very similar IMHO.
Imagine how schocked i was when i found out the Islam actually holds Jesus as a prophet, even if not as a son of god:dizzy2:
Oh and btw. I like chocolate:beam:
I just don't know why people want to believe in absurd stuff.
Me too, especially dark :beam:Quote:

On a more serious note...
I love chocolate. But it wasn't always so. I didn't care for the stuff at all when I was younger. However, now I am a chocolate snob. I love a nice dark chocolate, preferably from Beligum or Switzerland or of comparable quality. At least 68 % cacao. And it is best enjoyed with a nice glass of port and a few hours of EB.
In fact, I think that it a grand plan for the evening. Better check my supplies ...
*wanders off*
I don't like chocolate.
BLASPHEMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's freaking awesome.
PS- did I ever mention that Zulu is my favorite movie, Zulu Dawn is my second favorite movie and the 1879 Anglo-Zulu War is a favorite thing to study?:yes:
I prefer it when the black dudes actually have a chance of winning.
What would Zulu warriors be? Uirodusios with the decency mod? Nubian spearmen, but, not nubian spearmen?
They won in Zulu Dawn (Isandlwana) and nearly won in Zulu (Rorkes Drift).Quote:

Something they didn't put in the movie Zulu was that you can see the Isandlwana battlefield from Rorkes Drift. The movie had them discovering the Zulus were coming from a retreating Natal Mounted Rifles company. But in reality they knew exactly what was happening and knew 4000 Zulus were on their way as the battle was happening.
The Garamantes in EB look vaguely Zuluish.
