There's a difference between redheads and gingers. Redheads are fun, gingers have no souls.
Also, being from Australia and all that, since when were redheads called "Bluey"? Ginger is ginger is ginger, and too much ginger makes the reflux commence.
So, I joined this place out of some sort of bemused skepticism when what should catch my eye after being on for perhaps 3 days? Well, just the woman I became engaged to on December 20. T'was a good day in part. Her flight was an hour late as snow was being cleared from the tarmac, and almost all transport was halted as the UK doesn't know what to do with snow but stare at it and declare in a slack jawed stare "our cars have no skis!". But we made it eventually, and it was due to this place that it occurred. So cheers for CS, and my fiancées friend for establishing or convincing her to start an account in the first place. Alas, now, ninjanouk is all mine. For all those who are without a ninjanouk of their own, I doth point and laugh, ha ha. But do encourage you to obtain an imitation.
Under that assumption, you could say water, fire or air are essentially Gods. But all can destroy. And if it is just a natural phenomena, why worship it at all? It would be like creating an iconic altar to time. We can't see it, touch it, smell it or taste it, but it rules all that we do with an iron fist. So why not worship time instead of a God?
The issue of having a personal deity falls under the same category of a region specific one. If you have your own personal God for example, what actually makes that God as opposed to a personal ideal of one's own potential? And if indeed it's a God for one person, how could that be God in the first place? Another slight example in the words of Epicurus;
“Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?”
Engagement horah.
Thanks folks, the pleasure's all mine. ;)
