Re: Climate change?????
I'LL change that wish list then Rob, come back as a bitch. We have always had dogs but after the last two who died at 16, we decided to not have any more as they do tie you down. I do miss having a dog around when they do die however it is soul destroying. Its a hard thing to say but I can get more attached (not physical) to a dog than a person and is harder to me to watch die than a person. A dog gives you his total trust, unless its one of these rottys wanting a hunk off you all the time.I have watched many people die but can shut your mind to, but to a dog I'm just a big softie.

Re: Climate change?????
Ref. The reasons put forward re Christianity and the doubts expressed about God not being like Santa Claus. Most people refer to the New Testament and Jesus of Nazareth. They should refer to the Old Testament where God is portrayed at times as a hard and cruel taskmaster. How many know the first name the Hebrews gave to God was El-Elohim, Then El- Shaddai, then Jehovah. Whole nations were wiped out in his name, I trust the Chinese being the methodical people they are will be printing the words of the Old Testament as well. Jesus we know did exist, whether he was who he claimed is for the individual to believe or not. But God as portrayed at times could be very cruel by human and present day standards as we know them.

Obviously you are in waiting of a Person that can solve this Problem, Bless you
Hmmmmmmmmmm Bless me!!!, is this from you or the God you don't believe in?. Seems you have a very low opinion of your fellow man, seaman or not. Here you are spouting about what is wrong with man and the world and yet you have no solution, guess it must be you waiting for the Vacuum salesman to help with the problem.
May I respectfully suggest apart from the obvious that you read 'The Atheist' a parable sent in by Marian on this very site, you may find that wishes do not come true.
Bless you!!
