The best odds for/against god

[hashi92]

your born
your procreate
you become fertlizer

I think it is Tom Robbins in "Even Cowgirls Get The Blues" that has a character quoted as saying that humans were an invention of water to move itself around.

Better, I guess, that my unforgeteable teacher at my first year junior High school who was used to say that we were just ambulant tubes full of s**t.

Great quotes, and I agree with your teacher. In almost every sense, we're just big worms. Our body is built around a digestive tract that evolved a few appendages for land based movement and reproduction. Remove a few lobes of the brain and that's precisely what we are.

chez,

Tom Robbins is a US writer. My teacher was belgian and, by the way, a very committed christian. Altough I believe he got fired from the school later beacuse his christianity was too left leaning for the taste of the authorities. But he was one of the few unforgetable teachers I was fortunate in having.

Regarding australians, well yes... but we are not racist here (altough it doesn't appear so from the current news), we think we are all the same regardless of our origins [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

And midge...speak for yourself. I definitely believe some races and cultures are superior to others, and trying to include these apes and cavemen in civilized caucasian society is the worst idea we've ever had. But that's another thread (and forum).

You'd get an even better payoff if you assume that you can live a life of hedonism and pure selfishness and that there is a divine being who will reward such behavior with eternal bliss.

Good info here.

I think you need to do yourself some serious thinking, then you wont even begin to know what intellegent means.
