No less wisdom is required for choosing who you rely on to do your thinking for you. As it turns out, ultimately, it was you all along who chose which religious principles to adopt and follow. There is no escape from personal responsibility in relegating or refusing to acknowledge it. Any good we do, we do because of, not in spite of, ourselves.

Sith, //naomi, a lot of people believe in aliens. Just because you do not that doesnt make it a "funny way of wording it". i know what you meant. but than again. in your case a lot of things that goes on in peoples heads is, according to you, wrong or stupid.//

I haven't said I don't believe in aliens. You might be very surprised at what I believe. Also, I haven't called anyone stupid - but you have.

Sandy >>Much that goes on in my head IS stupid and some is very wrong<< Correct, you are a Christian.

>>That's why I look to religion to keep me on the straight and narrow.<<

I just use a good sense of morals, common decency and intelligence (although that is a little limited).

Oh to be a free thinker!! :)

Hi Ratter....Just a few words which I put together many years about thinking.

I think I thought that I had thought that I would think.
And then thought, I'll first buy myself a drink.

Well having bought the drink that I had sought,
I sort of thought about the thought I'd thought;
Then thought, there was ought but nought about the thought I'd thought.
Or so I thought I think.

So I bought another drink, which led me on to think,
That I could no longer think, because I was getting drunk.
Or so I thunk; I think!!

Ron.

[RATTER15]

After reading that I need a drink, I think!!

[DTCwordfan]

Ron is on the cider, me thinks....

[seadogg]

With him in spirit, preferably single malt.

Naomi, I wasn't suggesting that you give up your obviously sincere and strong belief in nothing. I was simply saying that we should agree to differ.
I've come to realise that I have more chance of convincing you to give up all your worldly possessions and join a sect of mendicant nuns, where you'd be employed hand-washing sacerdotal dirty laundry for the local clergy, than I have of even moving you one inch on the subject of faith.
Mores the pity.

[vivandorron]

sandy...Do you not stop to think that perhaps you are believing in nothing; because you are unable to prove the existence of God.?

Ron.

[sandyRoe]

If there is no God, I won't know. But if there is the atheists are in for a great surprise.

[vetuste_ennemi]

o tempora, o mores the pity!
or should that be piety?

[sandyRoe]

I'm on an economy drive and trying to cut back on apostrophies. 'More's the pity' was probably what I should have put.

With any luck, He'll arrive on a sleigh pulled by eight tiny unicorn.

[sandyRoe]

Is she a private patient? I never experienced anything like that ^^^ at the dentists.

[mibn2cweus]

//I never experienced anything like that ^^^ at the dentists.//

Me neither, well . . . not at the dentist.

[ludwig]

I'll have what she's having. I want to go to the land of blueberries.

[naomi24]

Well, wherever you lot are going, wait for me! Anything but Sandy's mendicant nunnery! :o/

[sith123]

//Sith, so when you said...

//there is actually a belief about aliens by the way//

....you weren't talking about the Koran. You were talking about what goes on in your own head. Got to say, that's a very funny way of wording it. ;o)//

by this i guessed you were being sarcastic???

[WELSHYORKIE]

I thought everyone knew that God came from Yorkshire - ee well i'll go to the foot of our stairs................
