Now I just think it's a pile of old toss I refer you to the 'Bama 3 lyrics I posted a little earlier. Edited January 21, 2016 by chrisp65 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I am neither supporting, denying or condoning anything here, before the atheifascists get all riled up) Just on the atheifascists thing, assuming you're putting me in that category I would never ever presume to inflict my world view on anyone in a normal conversation. People are free to believe whatever they want, as am I. I will not evangelise either way. Doesn't mean I won't secretly judge internally but I don't like militant religious or anti-religious fanatics who won't change the conversation.

chrisp65 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Nah, I wasn't putting anyone in any category to be honest, I just tacked that one liner on the end out of mischief. Entirely up to you if you want to burn in hell for all eternity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brumerican Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) The sentiment of "Footprints" can be admired by a non believer such as myself . It can easily be applied to a mate or loved one instead of Jesus. Edited January 21, 2016 by Brumerican Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entirely up to you if you want to burn in hell for all eternity. If hell existed I imagine the temperature would be perfectly pleasant. You are there because you turned your back on Satan's nemesis presumably. The Devil is going to love you and welcome you in like a long lost pal ! It's more likely to be fist bumps and blowjobs on tap, rather than the sadistic depiction created by the church! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 When I was a child I used to be scared of churches and people in religious attire, and then I watched The Omen and that made me think I was the devil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I like visiting old churches ( and mosques for that matter ) the work involved and scale of some of them is quite breathtaking even if I don't care for what they stand for ... Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence or the Mattius church in Budapest are stunning as is the hagia sophia in Istanbul as a few examples Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason a few weeks ago I activated the next of kin option on Facebook so that they control your fb when you're no longer around. I opted for my sister. She messaged back saying "You do know I'll be using this for comedy value you morose bastard". 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
