Dawkins TV Programme. "The Root of All Evil"

Well spendy can save your soul, I can only give you directions.

Gotta go...

Do I believe in God? Define that word...I've been trying to do that all my life, so far without success.

No idea, is it relevant?

I have no idea on its relevancy, I just thought it was an interesting question. You disagree?
Ok then, do you think jesus wore boxers or briefs?

I think he probably went commando, which facilitated "getting a leg over" with Mary Magdelene when the apostles were off preaching to the gullible . . .

God(dictionary definition)-a superhuman or supernatural being regarded as controlling natural forces and human destinies and worshipped or propitiated by man; a personification of any of the forces of nature etc

My version of the word God-a word that could be described as the resulting event, if any, of a strong thought by an individual or individuals.

It's been reported that the divine ms mary cried out in the night (and often as well) "Oh god. Oh god"

Probably the origin of the silly idea that Hey-Zeus was divine . . .

Again, it isnt relevant.

Mwohahahahaha

There are various other things mixed up with the idea of "sex".Money for example.Security.A sense of being valued.Influence.All attractive propositions with no relation to anything else.Career choices really.Only of use to skint,insecure women with no influence.A Roman Empress would be disdainful of such things.

You need to define "sex".If I take the position that "getting laid" etc falls well short of any sensible definition it doesn't mean,at all, that I think real sex a "bad thing".It is simply dangerous for men as Empresses usually are.

One can hardly claim intimacy with a lady who one does not share one's thoughts with and this facet of the matter is especially difficult with people of a wide literary experience.Phrases such as "getting laid" and many others of a similar despicable nature are mere boltholes for those who fear such things to escape into. They even claim that priests break their chastity vows in secret because the very idea that they don't leaves them gasping and confused.

And then there is the Dylan couplet from Journey Through Dark Heat-

"I didn't tell her what my private thoughts were
But she had some way of finding them out."

Or the one from If You See Her Say Hello-

"Either I'm too sensitive
Or else I'm getting soft."

And of course,with reference to MG's quote above-

"She fakes just like a woman."

My suspicion is that Mr Dawkins is a "leg over" type.
As de Sade's boiling,vitriolic irony sought to show such attitudes are dangerous to women.He simply took "getting laid" to its logical conclusion to demonstrate the emptiness of it.

If one returns to The Courts of Love and The Romance Of The Rose and chivalry generally one can easily see that the "leg over" mindsets would have been picking turnips and "seeing to themselves" in such a milieux.One had to risk one's life there in order to even approach a Lady.
The "leg over" merchants are not up for that.They demand exactly the right salting of their mashed potatoes or they start shouting and making a big fuss.
Don't try guessing who put such distorted ideas into their little heads.

so, you dont get laid much spendi?

Oh, the ins and outs of sex debate.
Its best not to analize it.Isnt it supposed to be enjoyable, the pre run up, so to speak , and the actual event.
Were did the fun go?

I bet Spendi gets more than me.

You must have been a nun for the last fifty years . . .

Who me?

I was contemplating being a nun when I was about 12, even started to read the Bible.
Thanfully I saw the error of my ways.

Reply to fm's ridiculous question.

Obviously not.

I consider such activities the province of Darwinians,rabbits,chiclids and sparrows etc.

One can't possibly experience "getting laid" for much longer than a year or two. What I believe Americans refer to as "bundling" is another matter entirely.That is open ended and inspiring.

You are the book of knowledge

Do you know any bored empresses?

MG-

firefly did this stunning acronym on Sat last-

You stated that you were willing to bet Spendi "gets more" than you, which is why i asked if you'd been a nun for the last fifty years . . .

spendi


A cichlid, its a cichlid. Chiclids are teeny pieces of gum

Sorry fm-

I meant those organisms you built a theory on once which demanded that we take them as a shining example or possibly even as a role model.

I may as well have been on for the last 4 years.
