Descuss each one please, and not my spelling.

PS I did not make this, it got sent to me in an email.

There is nothing wrong with the spelling that I can see, so there is nothing to discuss there.

There are 40 things to discuss and I am not going to discuss all of them in one post. That would just be insane.

One of my favorites though, is number 27. That is just so true, and sometimes associated with roleplayers.

Other than that, there are many good points there. As for discussion, there really isn't much to add I think.

My fave is

but I like 27 as well.

I agree with the whole not being a Christian thing just because you go to church every Sunday. But I don't agree that being a Christian, real or not, has anything to do with your lifestyle.

Christianity, much like Buddhism and Muslim and all that, is just religion. Pure and simple. It is not something that needs to be seen judging on one's lifestyle or behavior. It is just an aspect of your believe and state of mind. So going to a church every Sunday does not make you a Christian, but does not going to Church at all make you an atheist or a man without Christian belief? I don't think so.

Being an Athiest myself, I feel compelled to comment on DA's statement "I believe that if someone is a true Christian, then they wouldn't have to proclaim it. People would be able to just look at them/observe them for a few moments and just know it."


This statement sums up what most people assume about "non-believers" It implies that you can only do acts of kindness or be moral if you are associated with some sort of religion or Deity. I am a moral person but my morality doesn't come from believing in a deity, it comes from a simple philosophy, treat people with love, and kindness and in return you will recieve love and kindness.

btw...I LOVE # 10 I DO need the trip!

Interestingly, almost all of the most horrific acts ever committed by humanity were done in the name of religion. Going to chutch means pretty much nothing.

Also, acting like a good person in no way indicates a religious or spiritual nature. Remember, the largest single charitable donation ever was made by an atheist...

Mostly, though, the ark wasn't built by an amateur. It wasn't built. It's a story. Like talking snakes, and a 6,000 year old world. Literalism goes hand in hand with the first point above.

It is a list of 40 useless sayings. Deal with it people.

Heck, we could start a new posting game based on this.

41. Never pet a porcupine without safety gloves.

42. Never assume your boyfriend knows what is wrong with you. If you want him to know, you better tell him.

(Seriously, I sometimes get really tired of this)

Assuming your your boyfirend knows Skari? Shame on your for assuming.


43. Don't sleep nude if you sleepwalk.

Never trust your six year old brother with your ice cream cone. (Originally stated by an eight year old

Just moved this over to the surveys section. Not sure if this is the best place for it... it's kind of blurring the lines of what to call this. Survey? Posting Game? Other? Tough call.

Regardless... interesting discussion.

If you would pay more attention to me, Grugg, you would know what the problem was!

I just thought my interpretation was better. And I think more a posting game?

I don't think you understood my joke Grugg, which pretty much ruins the whole point of it.

44.(?) If no one gets the joke, it won't be any funnier if you try to explain it.
