It's gym day and I feel sore the old gang was all there and pumping iron, a
little dancing/singing to the oldies for it was a good workout.

Today was arms day and I can feel it arms are burning.

Old Rummy got in a little jitter bugging with the squat rack and mike sang
Missy, that seems to be one of his favor it songs, wish he would learn the
words.

Really looking forward to Wednesday, leg day. I intend to have a good sore
week and feel good about this week.

OK kids, off your duff and on the benches lets go you're half a day behind
right now.

Hey I spent about 4 hrs at an easter egg hunt/party for my daughter (despite
being an atheist) but still managed an hour bike ride. But that was nice of
you to make toys and dinner for the fam.

You sound like a really good uncle. I was uncle to my older sibs' kids for
yrs. Now they're all grown. I finally got a real late start at age 46 and
had one of my own kids. You ever thought about having your own?

That's a myth, Burr. Everyone's scared for their lives in a foxhole (or the
equivalent) but if they're honest with themselves and don't buy into what
they have always regarded as fairy tales, they don't find religion as an
easy way out. The only just god I could believe in is one who does't punish
you for remaining true to your principles.

Dunno about you but bottom line for me is that the reality of a god in the
mode of judeo-xian religions resonates no more than a Spotted Fluffy
Monster. I try to live a good life, help others, use common sense, and if
that's not enough to satisfy whatever god might exist, then fuck him.

According to Judeo-Christian tradition, you are supposed to be scared of
punishment. That's the right thing to do. Those who aren't scared are
sinners, and they will be punished even harder.

Now, I've no idea how Fluffy sees things here. He could be that vicious
kind of bastard, who rewards only those who don't bother him with
prayers and punishes those who worship the wrong gods or do their rites
wrongly. Gods in Nethack do just that.

There is this concept of gnosis, which means that God can influence you
directly and will help you choose right. Although he may not care for
you much, and not influence you. Or you may shut yourself off from his
influence (which I think is close to official understanding of how it
supposedly goes).

You may safely try Nethack. http://www.nethack.org/v343/Guidebook.html
It's irresistibly geekish.

Information is immaterial. What makes you really you has very little to
do with a carrier itself, so this soul concept isn't all stupid.

You can, however, assume I'm arguing with EVERYONE!

You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you,
you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you,

Say your prayers, people. You're all wrong and I'm right! Burr, it's

That is all.

We now return to the previously scheduled foxhole already in

I did..and today I got my Mountian bike off of mothballs and rode on the
trails a little bit. Best cardio work in the world as far as I am concerned.
Interesting..I get this euphoria (runners high) from riding my bicycle but I
never get it from indoor cardio no matter how hard I train.

Many religions focus on egghunts as a form of sacrement.

Jehovum Witness
Church of Latter Day Egg Whites
Yolk of the Holy Trinity
Cath"oh, where did they hide the eggs?"licism
Judaiscrambledeggsism
Proteggstant

The list goes on.

Depends on the religion. Easter happens to match up with the Spring
