Happy birthday AT! May the days that follow this one be more happy than the ones you've seen now.
Here take a brewski, a piece of pie with the SE Hot Sauce and follow up the advise RD gave.

RD:
As usual you hit the nail on the head. I'm going to follow up your advise too.

Atrocities: We grow through our struggles. If everything was great and easy, we would all be soft and would not develop. Through our trials, we learn about ourselves and our abilities. If you consider those who have been through the most trials, such as orphans, you will see that overcoming lead to success.

You shoudl also consider something that can't be lost. If you find faith in Christ, you will have hope, and eternal life, which can't be taken from you.

There is another thing you never can never lose: Murphy�s Laws...

Very well said, BUT, I really don't like that christ stuff. I was baptised and followed the christian faith for about 10 years, but soon after I discovered science and the convidense to believe in myself. After that I really had no need for a god anymore. I'm not trying to convert you or putting up a flamewar, but I'm still not very convertable with the need to believe in some sort of allpowerful figure. I can't really understand it anymore or I don't want to understand. Everything is explainable through science.
I think humanity will find worldpeace when they discard every god they believe in or have one faith only. Untill that day comes, humanity will fight amongst itself.

Sorry AT to ruin this birthdayparty with this little discussion. Have another brewski!
