ex preacher...that's it! I got it wrong, looked it up with the correct wording and it was attributed to Mark Twain (sounds like something he would say, I should have gotten that right away)

I've always wanted to write a play in which, in the style of No Exit, the following people get trapped in a room during the after-life:

Mark Twain.
Winston Churchill.
Oscar Wilde.
Dorothy Parker.

Can you just imagine the scathing wit and barbs?!

This thread is kinda cool. My favorite yet.

Booty shows up and asks a stupid question. We imediately make him look like the moron he is. Meanwhile, booty is nowhere to be found. We start chatting amongst ourselves. We eventually begin to wonder just when the big booty will be coming back. He shows up like 3 days later, neglects to answer anything posted earlier, but instead finds fault with us for getting off the subject. He asks a few more stupid questions and avoids countless others. Then he decides unambiguously that he won the argument and leaves abrubtly. Returns... just breifly, probably to see if his "ok, i win, you guys lose" remark worked. Then asks the same question again, but this time tries to be sneaky about it.

Its like a God damn soap opera. I'm just waiting for someone to get amniesia.

I'm still digging his "Proof by Irish Flag" method.

Yeah, that was the best.

Booty's thought process:
"Mama always says... when all else fails, bewilder them with usless and irrelivant flag history."

Heh. Right now, Booty's looking through his How to Convert Atheists manual.

That's exactly what I was thinking. It's interesting how he 'accuses' us of using Christian cookie-cutter attacks, but his rhetoric reads like a "How to Win Sinners and Influence Atheists" manual.

Just a few minutes for a new question, (Sundays are such busy days for me), in any event let me post the question and run. Thanks to all for your participation and please let the leader of the pack know it is really nothing personal, I just have this thing with royalty. Something in my blood, but she will recover.

All right here is your next question, do try and stay on topic please:

How much are your fears relieved by seeking the company of others that share your fears?

Atheists don't fear GOD. They don't fear HELL for that matter. Xtians are very adept at using fear to control and recruit others.

I don't visit these boards to relieve any fears.

What did you intend by asking that sort of vague question?

bonduca, your cat slept with more than one other cat, and a dog as well. The dna test should be in any minute but we'll have to wait at least 16 more posts to reveal the results. We may find out that it is actually booty's.

DUN Dun duh..... *indifference raises a mysterious eyebrow and glares at the camera*

"Darling, Sebastian and I were going to tell you... but we didn't want to hurt your felines."

take.

"But all this will become clear when I tell you: I am your father's cousin's friend who married the park ranger when she was an amesiac transvestite in the mountans of Nepal, before her death in a tragic kiln accident. Fawn, that was her name. Fawn Leibowitz, and I am really ... really ...

"Oh, shoot. I lost track of what I was going to say.
