There's probably no god...

Yeah there's a guy round here who does "life celebration funerals", been to a few of his and it seems odd to describe a good funeral... Oh yeah and he's a biker too...

Hey that's a bit below the belt there buddy. I've used macs for years along with pc's and both have their benefits. Macs are less likely to crash, have been great in graphics and introduced the best software for that (that's why us designers still use them). PC's on the other hand have a wider spread of use through more varied software and are cheaper. A lot of thought has gone through both systems. Religions are also different systems to help people through life's troubles supposedly. Problem is that with a big user base comes power and greed, again comparable things in pc's and religions

I believe in the possibility of a god/gods.

I don't believe in religion!

i heard a good saying at a funeral this week.

Better to celebrate someones death than their birth, as when you die you can have acheived so much, yet at birth acheived nothing.

Not normally one for that sort of thing, but it does make sense to me

competition drives down prices and is good for consumers

apple have a monopoly of keen "enthusiasts" who would gladly let steve jobs leave a steamer on their chest while they slept and still believe him when he tries to sell them a vastly expensive laptop with a non-replacable battery

Well it appears we have a distinct lack of fanatical religious types,which is probably just as well due to the severe shortage of promised virgins
