h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I have two sisters, four half sisters. So four sisters in total.

No therapy as yet but I swear one of these days...

Naw it's fine, my half sisters are a lot older and live in various places around the country.

road...I take it that you are an examiner then?

That must have been awesome seeing the WTC...I never will now

I will never forget that day, recall my pard calling me, and telling me that there had been an accident and that he was sent home from work

Couldn't get my head around the fact that it was cold deliberate act of violence....sigh Still can't get my head around parochial mentalities of such people willing to participate and encourage other people to do such atrocious criminal stuff....

Ah no, I'm a pupil. I'm going to be sitting them. I pity the examiners though. Firstly, they gotta trawl through my trash. Secondly, they get paid peanuts to do it.

Yeah I saw it on TV, was heading to a history lesson at the time.

Don't even try vix...enjoy your life...stay happy.

Ahhh, my bad...I shoulda checked your personal space and read a lil more about you, road, apologies for being an ignoramous, not ususally like that, normally a tactless idiot in my spare time...which there is very lil spare of, so mebbe just a tad...too...MANIC

hehehe

In other words my fingers tippity type afore my brain is really aware of what is going on as one of my eyes is elsewhere peering out at the street below and t'other is watching TV..... and the third one is watching

loopy I enjoy life, living and all the extra baggage that comes with it...

Just wish that I could bottle it - that enjoyment that is, and just simply freely give it to those that can't or refuse to open their eyes...*sentimental notion* if you know what I mean...

Holding a grudge has got to be one of the most damaging emotions to mankind.

Too true. If I step on an adder and it bites...who is to blame?
Are my boots high enough? Should I have seen the snake? Should I start hunting and killing all adders?

Was I just too stupid to realise the snake had venom and fangs?
Etc...etc...

Not to worry, vixen.

* arrives fashionably late *

With reference to the original question raised, my opinion is fiction. That said I would be quite content to be proved wrong if anyone would like to step forward with some empirical evidence.

Maniacal Vixen... I hope it was nothing serious.

I'm on a diet. I skip meals. But I've only felt faint once so far: when my car slid away on the ice with me and my dog watching it. But I like my fluids non alcoholic. But God looked after my predicament in the ice and nothing was damaged or lost.

...waddle...quack...

I had about 50 canada geese drop in the other day: adverse flying weather. Where is this Canuk person with the refreshment?

Still no breakfast. A withdrawal of goodwill perhaps? A demonstrative display of disenfranchise. I wonder?

Then again could be just a good friday night on the razzle!

at the risk of being a bit if a miserabilist if god can be bothered to watch you on th eice what goes wrong when the vision of half the world living on two dollars a day comes into the deities path?

Welcome Linus, I do not believe we have met before.
Thanks for posting, fresh blood os always welcome.

Yes I see your point. Altogether you're talking about $6bn. Now thats a lot for a fund manager in a bank to be accountable for. What would God do with $6bn. In your view who should he/she give it to and what do you think would happen to it.

Good point you made.

I'm alone on this thread. I could write another testament!

OK - let us recap for the sake of the new blood around and to try to get this thread back on track.

I am a polytheist heathen, I use divination, I am as near a witch as anyone I know and I have been spoken to by my gods...

I am definitely on the side of

YES

There are deities, they do take an interest in human affairs, though they are not omni-everything.

There is no one true religion, no one and only 'Big G' 'Triple O' (omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient) God.

The Big G of the monotheists is actually a god, not a God, and was once a desert deity.

There are many, many wights (beings with consciousness) on this earth and probably other planets, and maybe other universes than we can see or comprehend. Some of them are BIGGER than we are, most are about the same or /smaller/ than we are.

Some of them care about and interact with humans,but quite a lot of them don't.

So, everyone, post a bit about where you are coming from, and give the newcomers a chance to see what's happening

Jez - heathen and witch.

My God I'm not alone!

Dear Jez,

Good to see you back. It's been a long time since this thread had any theological vitality. Thinking, as Az suggested, of unsubscribing, but every now and again just check in to see how the same dreary old circular arguments are still drearily circulating.

Speaking as a neo-Advaitin sort-of Vedic Buddhist eclectic yogi-head whose only firm conviction is that the personal self is a (literally) self-perpetuating mirage, and that all consciousness is ONE and divine.

How's that for a brief philosophical position-statement?
