This is the reason I voted no in the poll....

You are to be commended.

So light bulbs don't actually create light - instead they suck the dark? Dark suckers. Think I know of a brothel that goes by the same name...

I had a student who was born into the Rhoads family and they named him Dusty. Some parents are really thoughtless that way.

Now that would have been impressive if it was a case of nominative determinism, i.e. if Dusty Rhoads worked in highway maintenance.

My favourite example of nominative determinism is the Bank in Oregon, Cheatham & Steele.

You should go there, - right now.

I assume that you do your banking there?

Aiddon, a word of advice, don't pay for the Hooker with a card from that bank, it might bounce and they'll send a big nasty enforcer after you.

Sounds like you need to get something off your chest, the Doc?

No, my grandaughter isn't sleeping there right now.

Nominative Determinism:

A catholic priest friend of ours told us this joke.

A priest is driving along a highway and is definitely going above the speed limit. Shortly, a cop pulls up from behind and stops him. The cop walks up demanding the papers and seems to smell something.
Says he, Father, have you been drinking? The priest says, just water. The cop says what's that in the back seat?. The priest says, that's the water. The cop examines the container and says, Father this is not water, it is wine. The priest appears to be stunned and then exclaims Oh my God, it has happened again!

The vicar was out for a walk when he heard a hunter shooting and cursing. As the vicar approached the hunter fired at a skein of geese: 'Bollocks, I missed!" Shouts the hunter. More geese fly overhead, the hunter fires again: 'Bollocks, I missed!' 'Sir,' says the vicar, 'the Lord will surely punish you for your profanity.' At which the sky splits and a bolt of lightning vapourises the vicar. 'Bollocks, I missed.' says god.

Haahaahaaa. very good it goes in my library. That a priest told you this shows us how well Catholicism has adapted to our modern age. Even the Jesuits have redefined.
'give me a child of 3 and i will show you the man.'

I have no religion. Yet am in awe of how Catholicism has weathered this secular age.
The brit 'Anglicans' have faded into plastic wall panels and ticked boxes on forms asking for 'religion'
2 billions call themselves catholic. 2 thousand million people.

Really? You think because a priest can tell a joke, that is somehow an indicator to how the Catholic Church have come into the modern age? Please tell me you are joking.

Personally, I like to use their stance on gay marriage, abortion, divorce, as indicators of their 'progress'.

And you are wrong - there are not 2 billion Catholics in the world - it's actually half that, 1 billion. As census of population is the method of recording religious fath, of that 1 billion, it can be assumed a sizeable proportion tick the Catholic box because of the tradition in which they were reared - not the faith they have now. So that leaves, perhaps 0.5 - 0.75 billion people. Given that the world has 7 billion people, I am not as impressed as you seem to be by it.

That particular priest may be a 'systemic anomaly'

Concepts involved of hundreds of works on perception and neuro 'interpolated' reality .

What i see in research is that Catholicism is just as strong now as it was 100 years ago. just before ww1.
We all watched 'private ryan' in initial landing one man repeatd over and over. hail Mary mother of god.
the left handed sniper kissed his crucifix before each battle. that god was with the righteous.

There are no atheists in fox holes. which infuriates the atheists and also many agnostics.


\Many say that thee downturn of belief has made world a better place. its the upturn if stupidity that did that.
