Hey, is this Ed?
By the way, it appears that a number of fictional characters will be
sent to hell. Austin Powers, for example. But under what circumstances
could he be said to have died? Does he have to be killed off at the end
of a movie?
In the latest draft, beer fountains are out and beer volcanoes are in.

It's best you don't know. But if you're ever bored and feel the need
to damage your brain without the aid of noxious potions or sledge
hammers to the noggin, rent "Master of Disguise", staring Dana Carvy,
James Brolin and Brent Spiner.... I give you five minutes before you
stop the DVD and start watching the Cartoon Channel, then work your

Ed would start posting. Now it is a toss up as to whether the quality
of posters on the anti-evolution side went up or down.
How sad is that. When has it ever been this bad? Om, Tapestry et al,
NashT, Ray and Ed.

With ed, Tapestry, Om, Ray and NashT posting McNameless might raise
the level of creationist posting. Jabbers would likely lower it a
bit, but not by much.
Ron Okimoto
Good to see you're still crazy Ed.
Here's my thinking....
If there is a god and a heaven that are worth believing in then all
'good' folks will go up there.
If, on the other hand, it's just a matter of if you believe in
something and god is a right wing religious bigot, then I'm not
interested. A place run like that is not going to be much fun and hell
may, in reality, be better. After all who is more evil, god or the
devil. If you judge by gods PR he really does paint it as a nasty
place, but if you judge it by the devils actions the bible - well
compared to god the devil isn't a bad chap. He does a lot less killing
(only a handful compared to all of humanity except for a handful) and
in general does less downright evil stuff to people who often don't
deserve it (we're talking old testament here).
So either god is a great guy and you're wrong (and I don't need to
believe in god to gain entrance, just not be nasty to people) or
you're right and heaven is not going to be as advertised, it'll be
more like LAX airport, lots of fat bigots, bad decoration, unhelpful
staff and a selection of different types of fat cooked crap to eat.
I can say I've lived a good life so if god won't let me in because I
picked the wrong god - well - statistically speaking - the chances are
that you have as well. There have been many thousands of gods folks
have believed in - those are bad odds. I kind of figure god will be
more likely to let me in if I don't worship someone other than him -
judging by the commandments anyway. Therefore, odds wise, I'm more
likely to get into a heaven if it exists according to one of the world
religions.

Maybe the gods divvy up your soul after you die. If you were an
atheist, none of your soul goes to any god. If you were a believer,
then the god you believed in gets the lion's share of your soul, but
all the other gods get a chunk too. If you believed in some other god
a little bit that tiny chunk might get into that god's heaven,
otherwise, while part of you is basking in one god's heaven, another
chunk of you is roasting/freezing/being consumed by demons/whatever in
some other god's notion of hell.

No way is that an albino. For that matter, it isn't even clear that it's a
wolf.

He was an atheist! Simply giving up a multimillion dollar sports
career to serve and die as a warrior for his country is no indication
of character. Nope, he has to *believe the right things, preferably
some fantastic events with murky meanings, asserted by a street corner
preacher with no evidence.
And if you choose the wrong unsupported assertion, may the good Lord /

I suspect that she falls into the "obnoxious, know-it-all assholes"
category.
I'm surprised to hear that an alleged elected president of a Muslim
country openly admits to being secular. Have a cite?
> MAN AS OLD AS COALhttp://www.edconrad.com
No, Ed. Modern humans are about 200,000 years old, maybe a bit less.
Oldest almost-humans go back just a few million years, tops.

It is only reasonable for fictional characters to inhabit a fictional
place.
I would settle for a house full of electronic gadgets, a morphing
motorcycle, a vertical takeoff flying car with full life support and
interstellar drive, an ale creek, an espresso pond, a mixed orchard of
pretzel trees, and lotsa female types.

Oh, Klaus, I'm *so* sorry. It sucks to lose a pet. Right now my 15

Yes, our 14 year old female Dafna is in the same boat. Linus returned

what the vet says when we take him in later.
