Tom, I think this means you should take up ForEx trading. *NM* Urza Send a noteboard - 19/12/2011 04:00:20 AM
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 1582 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 991 Views
See, I can't be an atheist. Tom - 19/12/2011 03:53:55 AM 955 Views
I agree about atheism LadyLorraine - 19/12/2011 04:19:02 AM 812 Views
It's an approximation. Vivien - 19/12/2011 05:40:05 PM 840 Views
no, I'm not saying that the sheer number of people alone is sufficient LadyLorraine - 19/12/2011 10:13:09 PM 729 Views

No, Pascal's Wager is stupid. Tim - 19/12/2011 03:09:42 PM 820 Views
You obviously misread my comments or ignored them. Tom - 19/12/2011 03:39:59 PM 834 Views
You're answering a different point to the one I was addressing. Tim - 19/12/2011 04:01:54 PM 750 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 833 Views
Look, doesn't this go against your most sacred principle? jh - 20/12/2011 06:43:27 AM 804 Views
I'm pretty sure he's not saying it's undeniable proof. LadyLorraine - 20/12/2011 09:19:44 AM 756 Views
No, it doesn't. Tom - 20/12/2011 08:30:55 PM 718 Views

This militant atheism is somewhat amusing. Tom - 20/12/2011 09:48:57 PM 784 Views
... somewhat irrational at times too Isaac - 21/12/2011 01:22:54 AM 699 Views
Huh? snoopcester - 21/12/2011 10:47:06 AM 745 Views
That's somewhat unrelated to the intended point of the post Isaac - 21/12/2011 12:41:49 PM 750 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 740 Views
You're objecting to me calling the Military Dictator militant? Isaac - 21/12/2011 03:13:35 PM 782 Views
Is that the long way of saying you can't back up what you said? snoopcester - 21/12/2011 04:06:06 PM 711 Views
Okay Isaac - 21/12/2011 05:03:07 PM 803 Views
Your position isn't rational nor logical Helene - 20/12/2011 12:45:03 PM 771 Views
I never stated it was either. That's the problem with spiritual matters. Tom - 20/12/2011 08:43:46 PM 697 Views
How about a faith atheist? Palatine - 19/12/2011 04:28:59 PM 886 Views
Nevermind. It appears you answered that in your reply to Tim. *NM* Palatine - 19/12/2011 04:32:19 PM 431 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 653 Views
Sounds like you must be a modern-day prophet beetnemesis - 19/12/2011 05:24:24 PM 696 Views
Well, it's *possible* that he is. Vivien - 19/12/2011 05:49:34 PM 781 Views
Hah, fair enough beetnemesis - 19/12/2011 06:47:07 PM 744 Views
Idiocy. Confirmation bias doesn't explain away external phenomena. Tom - 20/12/2011 04:19:10 AM 824 Views
Well. Sareitha Sedai - 21/12/2011 01:49:36 PM 726 Views
I didn't forget about it. I was getting ready to give up on it. Tom - 21/12/2011 02:27:18 PM 693 Views
That doesn't really make sense. Sareitha Sedai - 21/12/2011 03:04:23 PM 626 Views
No, it does make perfect sense. Tom - 21/12/2011 06:17:02 PM 767 Views
Also, learn to use the subjunctive. It's "if I WERE a Christian..." Tom - 19/12/2011 03:54:20 AM 813 Views
The sad thing about that comment... Larry - 19/12/2011 04:52:57 AM 937 Views
I'm pretty sure there's plenty of middle ground between those two examples LadyLorraine - 19/12/2011 05:31:13 PM 709 Views
Tom is right. Agnosticism is really the only rational posistion. Urza - 20/12/2011 04:17:08 AM 698 Views
Tom, I think this means you should take up ForEx trading. *NM* Urza - 19/12/2011 04:00:20 AM 370 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 879 Views
I really am gonna miss Hitchens...a lot *NM* *NM* Roland00 - 19/12/2011 04:06:50 AM 373 Views
I will miss him, too...a lot. *NM* Tom - 19/12/2011 04:17:05 AM 360 Views
so, hypothetically...if I was to send you a list of people... LadyLorraine - 19/12/2011 04:25:47 AM 768 Views
Let's not try that. Tom - 20/12/2011 04:21:35 AM 729 Views
I'm so ronery 김정일 - 19/12/2011 06:36:38 AM 812 Views
I thought you were asking if I believed in KJ-I, the Eternal Leader Praziquantel - 19/12/2011 06:55:08 AM 711 Views
The article I just read said he died on Saturday. Rebekah - 19/12/2011 08:58:17 AM 780 Views
Yeah, he actually died on a train Saturday morning before Tom made the comment. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 19/12/2011 09:13:44 PM 323 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 778 Views
You know what's really weird? Isaac - 19/12/2011 11:32:23 AM 783 Views
It has been there for 6 hours at this stage. Stephen - 19/12/2011 12:34:57 PM 852 Views
don't forget Mugabe (sp) Yunalesca - 19/12/2011 01:06:24 PM 693 Views
Zimbabwe basically is dust by now. *NM* Tim - 19/12/2011 02:52:51 PM 355 Views
They took it down, apparently. *NM* Tom - 20/12/2011 04:40:24 AM 337 Views
Not surprising, still in the revisions if anyone wants to see of course Isaac - 20/12/2011 11:06:05 AM 927 Views
Turns out Kim Jong really was il? snoopcester - 19/12/2011 12:10:15 PM 741 Views
all praise Madokami! *NM* Yunalesca - 19/12/2011 01:03:26 PM 421 Views
He's not dead-dead. Neither is his father. Just ask the North Koreans. Palatine - 19/12/2011 04:23:48 PM 771 Views
Re: He's not dead-dead. Neither is his father. Just ask the North Koreans. TaskmasterJack - 19/12/2011 09:15:09 PM 695 Views

I wonder if they're going to embalm him? Tom - 20/12/2011 04:39:33 AM 633 Views
The problem with predictions that come true Vivien - 19/12/2011 05:28:24 PM 804 Views
I don't make a lot of predictions. *NM* Tom - 19/12/2011 08:18:53 PM 474 Views
Well you should start at least journaling the ones that you do make. Vivien - 19/12/2011 08:40:18 PM 765 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 832 Views
Just ones about old, sick guys dying? *NM* Sareitha Sedai - 19/12/2011 09:51:12 PM 321 Views
No, sadly. Tom - 20/12/2011 04:31:44 AM 634 Views
I can attest to the fact that this conversation took place on Facebook Saturday. TaskmasterJack - 19/12/2011 09:19:06 PM 702 Views
Yeah, I thought that reply seemed in the wrong place Isaac - 19/12/2011 09:28:17 PM 722 Views
Re: Yeah, I thought that reply seemed in the wrong place TaskmasterJack - 19/12/2011 09:31:00 PM 716 Views
Yes, TMJ, you also contributed in this case. *NM* Tom - 20/12/2011 04:38:42 AM 325 Views
I am not a dog to be petted! TaskmasterJack - 21/12/2011 02:42:55 AM 707 Views
HAHAHAHA!!!! *NM* Tom - 21/12/2011 05:31:06 AM 418 Views
Coincidentally, I found this site today kHz1000 - 19/12/2011 10:57:36 PM 748 Views
Oh, I liked that site. I found it a few years ago. *NM* Tom - 20/12/2011 04:37:04 AM 327 Views
Jeez, I hope I never get on your bad side ironclad - 20/12/2011 12:06:54 AM 654 Views
Things did change for the better with Stalin's death. Vivien - 20/12/2011 02:51:12 AM 759 Views
Not for Stalin *NM* Tom - 20/12/2011 09:49:39 PM 389 Views
eh, you can't have everything Yunalesca - 20/12/2011 11:08:36 PM 655 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 321 Views
Not to downplay your awesomely uncanny coincidence... Avendesora - 20/12/2011 01:19:33 PM 726 Views
