all praise Madokami! *NM* Yunalesca Send a noteboard - 19/12/2011 01:03:26 PM
I was despondent that Hitchens died, then Cesaria Evora, then Vaclav Havel. I posted on Facebook yesterday and said that God needed to kill a dictator to maintain the balance in the world. I named Khamenei, Kim Jong-il and Chavez.

Now, about 24 hours later, Kim Jong-il is dead.

The last time I said someone "needed to die" was with John Paul II, whom I did not like (I loved Paul VI and JP I). He died within the week, causing the people I was working with at the time to call me the "angel of death".

I have to say that the timing is once again uncanny...

Anyway, let's hope God has mercy on him, because he caused enough Hell for his people here on earth.

Kim Jong-il is dead. Would you become a fervent believer? Tom - 19/12/2011 03:37:28 AM 1766 Views
If I was a Christian, I'd pray that he would burn forever in hell. Great Lord of Chaos - 19/12/2011 03:47:52 AM 1182 Views
See, I can't be an atheist. Tom - 19/12/2011 03:53:55 AM 1146 Views
I agree about atheism LadyLorraine - 19/12/2011 04:19:02 AM 1060 Views
It's an approximation. Vivien - 19/12/2011 05:40:05 PM 1040 Views
no, I'm not saying that the sheer number of people alone is sufficient LadyLorraine - 19/12/2011 10:13:09 PM 923 Views

No, Pascal's Wager is stupid. Tim - 19/12/2011 03:09:42 PM 1022 Views
You obviously misread my comments or ignored them. Tom - 19/12/2011 03:39:59 PM 1050 Views
You're answering a different point to the one I was addressing. Tim - 19/12/2011 04:01:54 PM 946 Views
For atheism to be a tenable position, one must assume that millions lie about their experiences. Tom - 20/12/2011 04:11:53 AM 1042 Views
Look, doesn't this go against your most sacred principle? jh - 20/12/2011 06:43:27 AM 1000 Views
I'm pretty sure he's not saying it's undeniable proof. LadyLorraine - 20/12/2011 09:19:44 AM 963 Views
No, it doesn't. Tom - 20/12/2011 08:30:55 PM 912 Views
Re: No, it doesn't. jh - 20/12/2011 09:21:22 PM 955 Views
This militant atheism is somewhat amusing. Tom - 20/12/2011 09:48:57 PM 965 Views
... somewhat irrational at times too Isaac - 21/12/2011 01:22:54 AM 880 Views
Huh? snoopcester - 21/12/2011 10:47:06 AM 940 Views
That's somewhat unrelated to the intended point of the post Isaac - 21/12/2011 12:41:49 PM 948 Views
My "Huh?" was at your claim that any reasonable definition Kim Jong-il was a millitant athiest snoopcester - 21/12/2011 12:58:44 PM 919 Views
You're objecting to me calling the Military Dictator militant? Isaac - 21/12/2011 03:13:35 PM 988 Views
Is that the long way of saying you can't back up what you said? snoopcester - 21/12/2011 04:06:06 PM 900 Views
Okay Isaac - 21/12/2011 05:03:07 PM 1029 Views
Your position isn't rational nor logical Helene - 20/12/2011 12:45:03 PM 993 Views
I never stated it was either. That's the problem with spiritual matters. Tom - 20/12/2011 08:43:46 PM 891 Views
How about a faith atheist? Palatine - 19/12/2011 04:28:59 PM 1070 Views
Nevermind. It appears you answered that in your reply to Tim. *NM* Palatine - 19/12/2011 04:32:19 PM 531 Views

It's impossible to tell if worshipping a false god would be worse than worshipping no god at all. Tom - 20/12/2011 04:14:59 AM 853 Views
Sounds like you must be a modern-day prophet beetnemesis - 19/12/2011 05:24:24 PM 886 Views
Well, it's *possible* that he is. Vivien - 19/12/2011 05:49:34 PM 981 Views
Hah, fair enough beetnemesis - 19/12/2011 06:47:07 PM 969 Views
Idiocy. Confirmation bias doesn't explain away external phenomena. Tom - 20/12/2011 04:19:10 AM 986 Views
Well. Sareitha Sedai - 21/12/2011 01:49:36 PM 1006 Views
I didn't forget about it. I was getting ready to give up on it. Tom - 21/12/2011 02:27:18 PM 888 Views
That doesn't really make sense. Sareitha Sedai - 21/12/2011 03:04:23 PM 825 Views
No, it does make perfect sense. Tom - 21/12/2011 06:17:02 PM 1011 Views
Also, learn to use the subjunctive. It's "if I WERE a Christian..." Tom - 19/12/2011 03:54:20 AM 986 Views
The sad thing about that comment... Larry - 19/12/2011 04:52:57 AM 1114 Views
I'm pretty sure there's plenty of middle ground between those two examples LadyLorraine - 19/12/2011 05:31:13 PM 891 Views
Tom is right. Agnosticism is really the only rational posistion. Urza - 20/12/2011 04:17:08 AM 898 Views
Tom, I think this means you should take up ForEx trading. *NM* Urza - 19/12/2011 04:00:20 AM 453 Views
I might. I'm close enough to it as is. I just did some ForEx ISDAs for clients... Tom - 19/12/2011 04:03:11 AM 1066 Views
I really am gonna miss Hitchens...a lot *NM* *NM* Roland00 - 19/12/2011 04:06:50 AM 463 Views
I will miss him, too...a lot. *NM* Tom - 19/12/2011 04:17:05 AM 451 Views
so, hypothetically...if I was to send you a list of people... LadyLorraine - 19/12/2011 04:25:47 AM 948 Views
Let's not try that. Tom - 20/12/2011 04:21:35 AM 944 Views
I'm so ronery 김정일 - 19/12/2011 06:36:38 AM 1008 Views
I thought you were asking if I believed in KJ-I, the Eternal Leader Praziquantel - 19/12/2011 06:55:08 AM 887 Views
The article I just read said he died on Saturday. Rebekah - 19/12/2011 08:58:17 AM 968 Views
Yeah, he actually died on a train Saturday morning before Tom made the comment. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 19/12/2011 09:13:44 PM 412 Views
I'm not claiming causality. And, for the record, I first made the comment on Friday afternoon. Tom - 20/12/2011 04:25:07 AM 972 Views
You know what's really weird? Isaac - 19/12/2011 11:32:23 AM 966 Views
It has been there for 6 hours at this stage. Stephen - 19/12/2011 12:34:57 PM 1049 Views
don't forget Mugabe (sp) Yunalesca - 19/12/2011 01:06:24 PM 895 Views
Zimbabwe basically is dust by now. *NM* Tim - 19/12/2011 02:52:51 PM 447 Views
They took it down, apparently. *NM* Tom - 20/12/2011 04:40:24 AM 437 Views
Not surprising, still in the revisions if anyone wants to see of course Isaac - 20/12/2011 11:06:05 AM 1155 Views
Turns out Kim Jong really was il? snoopcester - 19/12/2011 12:10:15 PM 927 Views
all praise Madokami! *NM* Yunalesca - 19/12/2011 01:03:26 PM 508 Views
He's not dead-dead. Neither is his father. Just ask the North Koreans. Palatine - 19/12/2011 04:23:48 PM 942 Views
Re: He's not dead-dead. Neither is his father. Just ask the North Koreans. TaskmasterJack - 19/12/2011 09:15:09 PM 901 Views
That happened to me too. Nate - 19/12/2011 09:45:48 PM 1028 Views

Re: Legend Palatine - 20/12/2011 04:54:40 PM 912 Views
I wonder if they're going to embalm him? Tom - 20/12/2011 04:39:33 AM 854 Views
The problem with predictions that come true Vivien - 19/12/2011 05:28:24 PM 1004 Views
I don't make a lot of predictions. *NM* Tom - 19/12/2011 08:18:53 PM 568 Views
Well you should start at least journaling the ones that you do make. Vivien - 19/12/2011 08:40:18 PM 955 Views
I actually now do tell my friends when I have dreams that have the "feel" to them. Tom - 20/12/2011 04:36:07 AM 1027 Views
Just ones about old, sick guys dying? *NM* Sareitha Sedai - 19/12/2011 09:51:12 PM 399 Views
No, sadly. Tom - 20/12/2011 04:31:44 AM 828 Views
I can attest to the fact that this conversation took place on Facebook Saturday. TaskmasterJack - 19/12/2011 09:19:06 PM 894 Views
Yeah, I thought that reply seemed in the wrong place Isaac - 19/12/2011 09:28:17 PM 900 Views
Re: Yeah, I thought that reply seemed in the wrong place TaskmasterJack - 19/12/2011 09:31:00 PM 923 Views
Yes, TMJ, you also contributed in this case. *NM* Tom - 20/12/2011 04:38:42 AM 423 Views
I am not a dog to be petted! TaskmasterJack - 21/12/2011 02:42:55 AM 902 Views
HAHAHAHA!!!! *NM* Tom - 21/12/2011 05:31:06 AM 511 Views
Coincidentally, I found this site today kHz1000 - 19/12/2011 10:57:36 PM 961 Views
Oh, I liked that site. I found it a few years ago. *NM* Tom - 20/12/2011 04:37:04 AM 432 Views
Jeez, I hope I never get on your bad side ironclad - 20/12/2011 12:06:54 AM 859 Views
Things did change for the better with Stalin's death. Vivien - 20/12/2011 02:51:12 AM 929 Views
Not for Stalin *NM* Tom - 20/12/2011 09:49:39 PM 507 Views
eh, you can't have everything Yunalesca - 20/12/2011 11:08:36 PM 834 Views
So I guess you want me to destroy the voodoo doll I have of you? Oh wait...never mind. *NM* Tom - 20/12/2011 04:37:35 AM 413 Views
Not to downplay your awesomely uncanny coincidence... Avendesora - 20/12/2011 01:19:33 PM 903 Views
