It's time for government to get out of bed with religion.

How should society be organised, if at all?

You must be older than you appear. When did Polytechnics change to Unis?

Still can't come to grips with the letter from the spokesman of the Biblically ultra-conservative Spiritual Counterfeits Project who virtually renounced his own organization after reading "The Ouzo Prophecy," huh?

It's always the way, there's never any lithium around when you need it.

Do you actually have an argument to make on my above statement? No, I didn't think so!

It was actually Hobbes' who added that part.

There's nothing for anyone else to come to grips with, Bob. You're a gooney loon who can't stop babbling about his fantasies, and yet you have nothing productive or useful to show for them. It's really a bit sad to watch you spin in a circle as you do. Like a bug who has lost a wing... 'round and 'round you go, buzzing angrily.

I tell you what... as soon as you can tell the people of Britain and the rest of the world that you love them and their countries, then I will be willing to hear what else you have to say. But as long as you continue acting hateful and stupid on so many subjects, your opinion and stories are invalidated for me.

If you have actually read the SCP letter, there is only one rational conclusion you can come away with, that the man was totally blown away by the paper. I know it, you know it, and anybody who's not institutionalized knows it!

YOU SHOULD be institutionalized, Bob. THAT is the problem. If you were, then you wouldn't be bombarding us with your mangled view of reality which is meaningless to everyone except you. I know it, you know it, and anybody who's not institutionalized knows it! :mrgreen: I still have hope for you, however. I think you could be a nice, interesting person if you'd let go of the insanity.
