Since Naomi will not give me the ****ing key I have decided to follow Jesus and be a Christian just like Theland. I am ashamed of my past history here so I'm going to devote the time I used to spend on ab to reading the Bible. No question really because I no longer care about what people think. I'll get all my answers from God from now on thank you.

Mibs, as valiant, courageous and brave as you are, on your quest for enlightenment and preaching your good news to those who will listen, is there not more to your life, anybodys' life, than slaying the dragon?
Mibs, Whilst I do reject the notion of a supernatural 'being' existing in any specific form, I cannot reject what would normally be caled 'the Supernatural'. 'Although the term is much abused, and man, in his ignorance, attaches much superstition to it I don't believe the Supernatural is supernatural - it is entirely natural - and it certainly has no connection to any religion. Unfortunately, we haven't the foggiest idea of how it works, but that doesn't mean that we should discount the possibility that it exists. Even with my most rational head on, I cannot deny that it exists. I don't understand why, or how it exists - but I know it does - and therein lies the problem. I want to understand, so I too will continue to try harder. For want of a better explanation, any reference I may make to a vague 'God' can be taken as meaning 'nature' - the real might of the universe - and the only superpower within it.
Must dash - see you later, when hopefully I can apply my brain a little more acutely to this thoroughly intriguing discussion.

Theland, Slaying the dragon would certainly call for a celebration . . . however . . .
Mibs, Love it! I too would like to slay the dragon that is religion, and if you think I'm up to the job, I will gladly join you in your quest. What an appalling and senseless waste of life it is.
Theland, if your God is so beneficent, why, oh why do you consider yourself to be so unlucky? Surely if you believe he is real and if you believe he truly cares for you, you wouldn't feel the way you do, so he's not doing you much good, is he? Do you ever think about that? (By the way, you don't want to know why I'm so busy - honestly you don't. It's a long and personal story - and one with which I wouldn't presume to bore such excellent company).
China, did you take the job, and if so, what is it? And are you really getting a tattoo?
A thought occurred to me. ('Careful', I hear you cry!). Isn't it a pleasure to be able to discuss religion - and anything else - without being bombarded by idiots? Probably not a particularly polite thing to say, nor indeed terribly politically correct, but true nevertheless. Once again, Mibs, I thank you for initiating this Sanctuary.
Incidentally, as you know, I recently visited a place deemed to be especially holy - and as a result of a hot and extremely uncomfortable ascent of a holy mountain (aren't they all?), I sustained a severely sprained ankle, the results of which persist to this day. I now regularly make my way, with the support of a crutch, very slowly indeed to the wine aisle of Tescos - and for one who is normally so fit and healthy, rather irritating and inconvenient it is too!! My question is this. Was I, a devout non-believer, struck by a celestial, and vengeful, bolt of lightening? (I have a feeling he can't be that miffed with me - at least I can still drive!).
Night everyone. Sleep tight. x

No, you just have weak ankles you dopey mare! ;0P
The job is a PA role at the UCLH. Yes, I've taken it but I've had some previous issues at my last role so until I've got a start date I won't be doing the fandango.
And yeah, the tattoo is likely, it'll be along my spine so it won't be seen by all and sundry. However I'm only getting it if it's something that has a meaning to me. It's very possible I'll get a shooting star or something in that ilk too but I've not ever really seen a design I like and I'm am an utterly rubbish artist myself so I can't really draw something I'd like either.

China, if you don't already have a tattoo, then please don't start now. And if you already have one, then stop there and get no more.
If you really need to decorate your body like that, what about the temporary ones?
I am saddened to see so many young pretty girls disfuguring themselves with piercings and tattoos. What will they think when they look ina mirror in their old age?
Olease discuss this more before taking the plunge, you may regret it.
I have no tattoos and neither do my kids, and by having none, they are now fast becoming unique and different, which surely is the purpose of a tattoo in the first place.
Consider yourself told off.
What is UCLH? University of ........ ? Yes?
I could google it couldn't I? I just thought ......
Please explain issues ..... and then we'll do the fandango!

Luna - How nice to see your return. I hope all is well with you, and that you post on here with more regularity than recently.
As to your question, (if I may take the liberty of using a "Bushism," or two,) I shall go away and ponderate the implicationisms, of what you have assertified, and when I have come to a conclusionistic opinionation, I shall return to provide some enlightenistic ideas.

China - Don't let this happen to you.
Naomi, Here we go again, hope this post doesn�t also go west like its predecessor.
I consider God is supporting me, that He is beneficent, and that things could always be worse.
I do consider myself blessed, the bottle half full instead of half empty, but I do feel the pain when things go wrong.
I�ll make this post short as I�m trying something new. I�m writing on a document and will try to copy and paste into AB, so if it goes missing, I�ll have a copy. Etc etc.

Theland, Word document . . . highly advised. I use that method religiously (and feel the wrath of God occasionally when I backslide). My experience suggests that answerbank undergoes some sort of maintenance routinely starting at about 5am then again at about 6am every morning and that anything submitted during that time evaporates into cyberspace never to be seen again, however, the black hole has also devoured many of my labours at seemingly random events occurring at any time of day or night.
I even save my word documents before posting just to be sure . . . and . . . I format my long-winded multi-post submissions into pages of less than the maximum allowed 2000 characters in my word document (Crtl+Enter) which helps me to keep track and to reduce errors during the submitting process.
Although somewhat onerous, these precautions have proven repeatedly to be time well spent . . . and . . . while I�m at it I can take advantage of some of the word processors features such as word look-up, spell-check and thesaurus as well.
Momma never told me life was gonna be this hard . . . or this good!

Mibs, I think that I shall become a devotee of theis new, (to me), method of posting. There are, however, a few things for me to learn, such as how to include a link to say, google images, if I am on a document. Mine is "Works," not "Word", came with XP and although I would prefer Word, well, I haven't got it, simple as that.
Good to see "The Return Of The Luna," eh what?

Cor, for one awful moment there, I thought we'd been rumbled! I logged in, and there, staring me in the face in the 'Unanswered Questions' box, was something posted in Chatterbank entitled 'The Sanctuary'! Believing our hiding place to have been infiltrated, with bated breath and heart racing, I instantly investigated further - only to find that the question was about the other Sanctuary
Phew, what a relief! Time to open the wine! (cough, cough .... don't suppose there's any chance of anyone here offering the services they provide at the other Santuary, is there?).
Luna, good to see you back - or are you hopping it again?
China, weak ankles? Some sympathy! This is payback time for the sore throat incident, isn't it!!
Theland, I told you AGES ago to type stuff into a Word document, and copy and paste. I do wish you would pay attention. Must try harder!
Can I come back to the God thing please? Got to cook dinner now - and open the wine. Must get my priorities right!
