Atheism

Women are by nature more rebellious than men and less amenable to discipline. They are more reluctant than men to inhibit their curiosity and more keen to seek novelty. They are forever looking to find new approaches and to find out for themselves whether they might entertain them more.

This critical spirit women possess, which might be called a demon of frivolity, is obviously an evolutionary trait and therefore, by definition, serves an important function.

As this natural characteristic of women is not in men's interests we have a tendency to frighten them so that they will feel it is best to limit the exercise of this aspect of their natural selves and set up what some intelligent ladies have called a "gilded cage" to keep them in from which they may be let out from time to time when it is convenient.

An emphasis on frightening things is often employed and sometimes when the things are not in the least frightening. The distorted stress on rape and sexual assault is a general form of this fear inculcation.

"I'm going to Benidorm with the girls", said as if it's a hen that has just laid an egg, is running on our TV. We can be left to open tins and whatnot. I have seen many a man dejected at that prospect although I have come across a few who are delighted.

I wasn't quite as forthright as that little old lady towards a couple of young male mormons who stopped me in the city centre a while back and asked me-
"Excuse me sir, but what do you know about the Lord Jesus Christ?"
I replied- "I think I heard somewhere that he's the son of God?"
"Yes sir that's exactly right" they replied with wide grins, "would you like to come have a coffee with us so we can talk some more?"
But I had a valid excuse and answered with a smile "Sorry but I have to get down the computer shop before it closes, goodbye", and walked off.

Now if they'd been a couple of young LADY mormons, I'd have thought "to hell with the computer shop!", and almost certainly have gone for a coffee with them..

Incidentally something like that happened with Jehovah's Witnesses last year, I was expecting the meter reader to call, so when the street doorbell went, I released the lock and started making my way down the communal staircase to meet him.
But I heard several voices and footsteps coming up and I called out "Is that the meter man?", to which a man's voice answered "No, we're Jehovah's Witnesses", so I crept back into my flat and shut the door.
Now if it had been a WOMAN's voice saying "We're Jehovah's Witnesses", I daresay I'd have said "come on up, i'll put the kettle on"..

Yes, women generally speaking are riddled with more demons than fleas on Old Yeller's back, the ringleader is the Demon of Feminism and he winds them round his little finger by injecting thoughts into their heads like-
"Men think they're better than women"
"Go get a job and career to fulfil yourself, you don't want to be a housewife drudge do you?"
"Your hubs a bit boring and takes you for granted, tell him you feel like smashing his face in, then pack your bags and walk out"
"You're still young enough to divorce him and find yourself a George Clooney type" etc.

PS- a few years ago a Brit daily paper invited readers to write in with accounts of their weddings that didn't last long.
One guy wrote- "I married my wife after a whirlwind romance even though I knew she had a drink problem.
We flew off on honeymoon, and as we sat sipping drinks on the hotel balcony the first evening she suddenly snapped at me 'You've never liked my mother!' even though I hadn't said a word.
I gently pointed out to her that i'd never even seen or met or spoken about her mother, but she wouldn't listen and became more and more angry, tearfully throwing things at me and screaming things like 'My mothers worth a hundred of you!'.
So I checked into another hotel, caught the first flight home next day and filed for divorce as soon as i landed"

I once had an argument with my first wife...and after some particularly heated words toward each other, we both realized a rest was in order and we were giving it a rest.

But I was seething...and in my head, I was going over all the arguments I had offered during the exchange...arranging them in what I considered logical order for the reopening of things.

The ball had been left in my court...and the silence, which had last a full five minutes (an eternity in a domestic argument)...was more than I could handle. So I quickly ran over the main points I was going to make...and started up again...

...with the words, "...and in the second place... ."

She looked at me as though I had appeared out thin air...a questioning expression etched on her face.

"And what was the "first place", she asked with as straight a face as she could manage.

I just shook my head and turned away so she couldn't see the laughter that was taking hold of me.

The argument was over for that day.

Yes, women's moods constantly change minute by minute like cloud shadows moving across the landscape on a summer's day, bright and sunny one minute and grey and chilly the next.
Most of us who grew up with sisters learnt that early on, for example the slightest wrong word I said to my sister when we were kids would result in her storming up to my room and I heard crack...crack...crack as she snapped the wings off my plastic model planes; it looked like the aftermath of the battle of britain when I went up there.
Once she bit off more than she could chew by trying to snap my metal telescope in half but all she could manage was to bend it into a banana shape, but still a valuable object lesson in the power of demonic strength..

Mormons offered you coffee?
How about a cigarette?

No mate, just a coffee.
You raise a good point though because mormons don't drink coffee, so if i'd have accepted their invite they'd have probably ordered a milk shake or something for themselves.
Incidentally I've never smoked or boozed because I've never felt the need.
I tried a few sips of booze in my early teens as an experiment but it all tasted like cat pee so I switched back to soda pop.
And at a few office parties naughty ladies tried to get me drunk and i went along with it to be a good sport, but wasn't impressed because my head seemed full of cotton wool, so i was glad to sober up and get my brain back next day..

I was recently at an event at which there was a number of physicians. I was surprised to learn that most of them were creationists. I also was shocked finding an astronomer who believed in god.

What is this world coming to?

He must have seen this staring down his telescope at him-

There's a guy who comes in the pub who is "out of it". I asked somebody who knows him what the score was. He told me the guy had been an astrophysicist until one night he looked though a telescope after smoking a couple of joints and had freaked out. He was unreachable.

So stay with the pretty pictures folks--they are harmless.

When wisecracks are all you have Wilso you don't count.

Dawkins and his atheist chums spent £150,000 (250,000 US dollars) to have these adverts splashed on a fleet of Brit buses.
They say there's PROBABLY no God, so obviously they're not sure..
And what's with the "stop worrying" bit? What are atheists worried about?

And as if anybody can enjoy their life simply by being ordered to by that silly ******. He should work at Butlins. It's all jolly up there.

What is so expensively written on that sign must be the most useless piece of English usage in the history of the world. It's absolutely ridiculous unless it is a double bluff intended to convert atheists to the faith.

And who is worrying anyway? They are, in their own words, addressing the worried. And two of them are prematurely grey.

Yah, and if ever Christians decide to splash adverts on buses, I can think of one-
"CHRISTIANS DIE LAUGHING"..

Most atheist acknowledge that they are not sure, Romeo. That makes them more honest than most theists.

There is absolutely NO way to know there is no GOD...or are no gods.

If there is a GOD (or are gods) it is possible for the GOD to reveal itself to humans...but if the GOD actually made the billions upon billions of galaxies that we know of...each filled with hundreds of billions of stars...and spread them out over a space so vast, light takes billions of years to traverse it...

...the GOD, if it chose to reveal itself, could and would do a hell of a lot better job than the mythologies suggest was done.

But the main point I want to make is: Most atheists acknowledge they do not know...which is the reason the sign read the way it did...

...and that makes most atheists more honest than most theists.

Jesus said- "Nobody knows the Father except the Son" (Luke 10:22)
so it's impossible for any human to grasp what God is.
But many Christians can sense a 'force' out there, and are honest enough to say "that's probably God".
Atheists, agnostics and theists alike pull the trigger and take their chance..

How about "Don't grow up--it's a trap."
