Do not believe in this. All lies, as usual.

Typical.

You should teach your children to dial triple zero. Not triple O. Otherwise they get the devil by mistake.

I want an Ignostic Deist board (just kidding)

at least you didn't put 911.!

Guess I'm thick  - what's 000 got to do with atheism?
Ever notice ??  the date the Twin Towers were brought down by terrorism.

Now - even as a child I couldn't buy into religious teachings.   I remember pondering the issue during Religious Hr - or whatever it was called, way back then when I was about 7yrs - I think.  
I listened, and read as required, trying to see what it was that made Christianity so ubiquitous and so important.  
One day I even accidently stumbled onto a small group of people, a Priest and about 5 what I later figured out were Catholic girls. This was an all girl college - and I was trapped in this smallish room, a small library, sharing a ceremony that was decidedly different from anything I had seen before, AND I'd only gone there to avoid the religious class I was s'posed to be in.  What a bummer.!!
I mumbled along, heart pounding., and hoped I'd crossed myself correctly.
No one said a word to me.

It certainly didn't influence me in favor of God. It likely continued me along the road to Hell.!! ::) :o

No Regrets From Me
That I don't believe
In Christianity. :D

That would have been fun. When I was doing the tourist thing at St Peters in Rome, I said to a priest "Scuse me mate, which way to the Cistine Chapel?' After a slightly pained expression, he shrugged me off as an ignorant non-catholic tourist and told me how to get there.

It dawned on me afterwards that maybe I should have shown more respect.

Maybe he was the pope. Perhaps you should have kissed his ring.
