no, I severed all connection many moons since - i think it was when I questioned the communion rituals, then I decided I didnt want to be a nun after all, then they kept on mithering me so flippin much that I just cut the cords
I see once again that Gnome is the trigger of sublime intellectual endeavour. I do pity the man. Merry Christmas Gnome!!! Hey, here’s a question for my wise gnome: why do people traditionally drag a pine tree into their living room and place presents under it. Why do reindeers come into this tradition and why is Santa traditionally dressed in red and white? Prepare to be enlightened if you cannot answer - and the answer will indeed be COUNTER TO YOUR TASTE as it comes from a most sordid practice . . .

But what will it have to do with 'GOD FACT OR FICTION"?
We have strayed from the question. I'm guessing you are going to 'enlighten' me by telling me how the tree is a pagen symbol that Christians co-opted into thier story. I think that was back in chapter 9.
By the way, congratulations on getting a thread named after you and your intellectual offensiveness.
yes, yes Gnome - I am thinking it must be something to do with hymn sheets and people singing from the same one ( or taking their cues from source material)

My response to Ray was just sinking to his level. I apologize for my hypocrisy. I guess the devil made me do it! My words to you Yumie were out of kindness and decency. I am done wasting my time with a bigot and his minions...have a nice hateful and lonely life Ray...Merry Christmas!!
You have lowered yourself to a level lower than me my man. And your hypocrisy is two-fold so you need to apologise twice, for I have done the same thing to others that you have done to me for the same reason. You gone right to the pits my man. My 'minions' are stand alone individuals whom I respect. I even respect gnome and enjoy our back and forth banter. I don’t ‘hate’ gnome – I just gave him a scolding. He’s given me one or two. C’mon, it’s Christmas! I apologise to you if I have somehow upset you but is there any use? It's only going to happen again and 'I' ain’t gonna change. Keep your head up my man. Some favour the brave. Merry Christmas.
ray that isn't true is it? it makes sense i've never really thought about it but i'n going to look it up...that's terrifying...that really makes sense though...i've never really thought of it that way its kinda even worse than knowing that santa insnt real
