What, on the floor? Then the only thing you're going to get a picture of is my feet! Besides, what exactly would you have me *DO* with these pictures? I'm not wasting the film just so I can mail you pictures of my feet.

The repeated elections of FDR inspired the 22nd Amendment. I wonder how long it'll take for the Bush Dynasty (Tyranny) to inspire a 28th Amendment (the anti-"hidden monarchy" amendment)? Hopefully not too long ...

It is a mistake to apply the mathematics of probability to existential questions

Oh, I dunno.....I mean, you can apply a 'certain' ammount of logical reasoning to man in the white robes.

Lets take a look.

Example 1....God exists

You believe in him, live a cosmically short life of devotion and moderation then recieve a cosmically long afterlife in paradise.

You dont believe in him, live a cosmically short life of debauchery and recieve a cosmically long afterlife in eternal torment.

example 2.....God doesnt exist

You believe in him, live a cosmically short life in devotion and moderation then recieve quiet oblivion.

You dont believe in him, live a cosmically short life of debauchery and then recieve quiet oblivion.

If you want the best for yourself, then we all better get praying.

Yeah, but what manner of paradise is it? From the scriptures, we know that its climate is certainly more unpleasant than Hell. Heaven, after all, receives 50 times as much light from the Sun as we get here on Earth, which gives it a temperature of 525C. Hell, on the otherhand, can be no hotter than 445C, the temperature at which the lakes of brimstone would become a gas.

Heaven is undoubtedly lacking in said debauchery, which seems to make it sound like a very, very, boring place. I'm sure you're not going there for the scintillating company, either.

Live life as a total bore, die and be banished to oblivion. Great way to live. Pass.

You dont believe in him, live a cosmically short life of debauchery and then recieve quiet oblivion.

Sounds like a plan. Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow, we die.

If you want the best for yourself, then we all better get praying.

I think the winning deal seems to be to sell your soul to Satan. After all, this seems to be the sort of thing Satan theoretically happens to go for, and if you can't manage to even sell your soul to Satan, this begins to shed doubt on this entire theory. After all, you're going to Hell anyway.

Compelling stuff there Norfy,

Lets add the additional premise that paradise/heaven is actualy one continual unending peaking orgasm.

Would that equate to pleasure or pain ?

There's no difference. It's actually torment either way.
