an interesting poll

the only problem I have with it is I know Christians and non Christians who would say no for varying reasons but they are still believers

I personally would say no to the poll but spirituality comes into play for me for every single decision I make in my life, but I would not self identify as religious

They're the happiest because they are all just a bunch of blonde, brainless, bimbos.

Who needs religion when you got all those blond girls?



I was watching part of today's USC football game in which they have their blond cheer girls such as these:
















I was on a football chat room one time and just as a joke I I mentioned the time one of them cheered when the opposing team scored a TD - I teased a guy by saying you must love your blondes when they are good looking and dumb. Thought he was going to be a tad upset and snap at me. Instead, he said you're darn right - the blonder and dumber the better!

Had to tell him, you really got me on that one! I'm still laughing as the joke was on me!!

There's a difference between saying "Religion isn't important in my everyday life" and not having any beliefs. Just because you don't go to church or synagogue or mosque or temple everyday doesn't mean you don't believe in God (or you don't believe in whatever fake god or gods the Muslims, Sikhs and Hindus believe).

Many people also lie and say that religion isn't important in their everyday lives even though the opposite is true.

Interesting facts. Not a whole lot of innovation comes out of a happy population. They are all to bizzy updating Facebook to invent the next best thing since sliced bread.

Just as we now waist our lives chatting on forums, everyone in a miserable country is trying hard to just barely survive and are working on inventions and ways to make it easier.

It's true though, isn't it? I know my comments ended any joy and happiness the anti-religious minority, lots of whom are on this forum, may have momentarily had, but sometimes you just have to shock people into the truth. The truth does sometimes hurt.

This is the funniest thing I've read in awhile. Best not have happy people. Best to have miserable people who produce products for people to work their lives on paying for. That's a lovely concept.

Just cause you think it doesn't make it so.

Actually, it is a fact that the happiest people in the world are the ones who live simply and work hard. In western capitalist societies, almost everyone is an indentured slave to debt. That is why they consume so much alcohol and cocaine: to numb the pain of their meaningless lives trying to fill the emptiness in their souls. You want to find truly happy people, you will find them living in a jungle without all the modern contraptions of a modern mindless consumer culture.

Personally, I'm very happy with my life. But I''ve only achieved that by accepting that everything in our current life is simply a continuation/extension of our natural animalistic existence.

That's helped me move pass & simply accept life as it is.

It's helped me move forward too the part where I act on the things I control that will make me successful.

Winning is what I anchor my happiness on.

Winning at life.

I base winning on what I see every other animals doing. And that's called passing on you're DNA to as many children as you possibly can sustain.

Losing would be letting you're DNA go extinct.

Canada is a DNA grave yard atm.

How do you know one of them doesn't have the real gawd and yours is fake?
