Guest Feedback It was nice while it lasted, but recent spam attacks have forced us to close the "Guest Feedback" section to guests (however much irony this statement may contain). Sorry. We get a lot of guest visits, some are bots, some are people. If you're a person, please tell us why you didn't join so we can improve the forum. |

Religion [R] "Religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man living in the sky who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of 10 things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these 10 things he has a special place full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry for ever and ever until the end of time... but he loves you." (George Carlin) Are you religious? Are you non-religious? Have a friendly discussion here. Moderator: spuriousmonkey
