So be nice to those missionaries. The person you are being polite to might
just be yourself. :-) Augh! Paradox! Illogic! Must...sterilize...sterilize...sterilize... I.....AM.....NOMAD. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

That reminds me of an instance when Dave Obey came back to our home town
from Washington to walk in the annual parade. He stepped up on our porch and asked me for his support and I quickly told him I was proud to be Canadian (I'm not Canadian) but it shut him up in a hurry. -- Jim Burns III Remove "nospam" to reply "One's Too Many" wrote in message om... "Jay Honeck" wrote in message news:Wwfvb.262377$Fm2.278122@attbi_s04... Anyone ever run into this before? What did you do? I was raised with a Catholic mother and a Baptist father and while moderately religous myself, I do not like to be preached at like that at all. I usually look them straight in the eye and tell them I am Jewish. That usually shuts them up instantly. |

I once had a friend (he's dead now) that would call me up when he got a
"cold-caller" phone call, he'd put the salesman on conference call with both of us and we'd rake the guy over the coals. One time it was a woman and my friend and I acted like we were taking auditions for a 1-900 phone sex company. I'll give the girl credit, she had a great sense of humor and played along. -- Jim Burns III Remove "nospam" to reply "Jay Honeck" wrote in message news:2Msvb.268634$Fm2.281926@attbi_s04... Sometimes it's the funnest part of my day. You're not a well man, Jim. 'Course, that's why I like you! :-) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

snip I think if Thomas is willing to *say* "Oops" at that moment, that'll speak very favorably to him. Me? I plan on pulling Buck Henry and James Mason aside and saying - Hey, you guys made a mistake! Heaven Can Wait (1978) -- Montblack "I like to watch" |

According to the Hitchhiker's Guide, the Babel fish was put forth as an
example for the non-existence of God: "I refuse to prove that I exist," says God, "for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing." "But," says Man, "the Babel fish is a dead giveaway isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves that you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don't. Q.E.D.." "Oh dear," says God, "I hadn't thought of that," and promptly vanishes in a puff of logic. "Oh, that was easy," says Man, and for an encore goes on to prove that black is white and gets himself killed on the next zebra crossing. 42? --Randy |

I tried using that argument that as a Math atheist I ought to be excused from
math homework and exams. It didn't fly. Jim (Blanche Cohen) shared these priceless pearls of wisdom: -I've long equated Religion with Mathematics. Each begins with a -hypothesis that cannot be proved or disproved, and everything builds -on that assumption. Jim Weir (A&P/IA, CFI, & other good alphabet soup) VP Eng RST Pres.
