  1. Thats a good reason to wish eternal damnation on the entire Earths population
  2. You're basing that on what, exactly? I might not be a thelogian (Hell, I doubt I even spelled the word properly) but look at it from this angle: Accept, for the sake of argument, that there is a God, and he created this planet and all the creatures on it. Of all those creatures, God made ONE type in his own image. God gave ONE type of creature the mental capacity to do what humans do. And God sent His son to save ONE type of creature - Jesus didn't come because some dogs were being mean to each other. God made man with a soul, and man alone. Dogs don't have one, sheep don't have one, birds don't have one - only people, because God made them that way. At least, that's what I've always been told, and my home is quite Catholic. I don't see how accepting that there is a human soul means that all creatures have them. What are the signs of having a soul? Everything we do or feel is mirrored in animals. Of course, you are putting forward the idea that God made humans in his image, and animals for some random reason, but without a soul, surely animals would be evil, right? The basic idea that only humans have souls comes from the idea that humans are better than animals, set apart from them. While that is the Christian viewpoint, you cannot argue that basic animal morphology and chemistry show that we are the same as other animals, even if we are more inteligent. The whole logic behine the idea that humans have souls, but animals dont is because God created humans in his image, but not other animals. But everything that makes us alive is there in other animals. Where in the Bible does it say that humans have souls but not other animals? If it does, how can you be sure that it's not the work of years of chinese whispers and put there by God-fearing scholars who think they're better than their pets? Religions older than Christianity believe all animals have souls. Zoological science has shown that animals and humans are related and that if there is a soul, both have them. When I look into my cats eyes, I can see she's not soulless. I don't understand why Christianity should make me believe otherwise.
  3. It'd be good if they do. On the one hand, he probably wouldn't have got over as much in WWE without the gimmick, but he's over now and they need to turn him into a legitimate character in order to push him.
  4. Which is why it's fun calling you out on it. Dammit, NHB is so crap right now, I'm just looking for an excuse to be harsh with anyone. Seriously though. People are going from this thread to Game's thread and his is making more sense. This thread should be put in the "Classic Threads" folder to show people what not to do.
  5. Santos L Halper. And Hitlers evil dog that used to make fun of dalmations.
  6. That's ironic, because they are the only two people who could take away from the mind-numbing pointlessness of this thread. What were you thinking man? Seriously! Doofus.
  7. It wasn't really a politically themed album, as a really crap title. The only song I'd call political on any level was "I Will".
  8. Really? The Libertines and Mars Volta albums are my favourites of recent times.
  9. This is why you shouldn't post pictures of your loved ones on the internet. Game might start a thread about how he's better than them, and that's no good for anyone.
  10. YES! I win! Pink Floyd are worse than Fine Young Cannibals!
  11. What about the evil ones? You know. Poodles.
  12. I know what you're saying, but the fact is we're no different from monkeys, dolphins, cats or dogs. We're made of the same chemicals. We've got the same basic brain structure. We do many things for the same reasons. If there is a soul, every animal on the planet has got one and has got an afterlife. And if that's the case, and animals aren't inteligent to consciously sin, does that mean they're all going to heaven? Or are they all going to hell for not praying? Dammit, Christianity's too complex for me.
  13. It's by The Shangri-Las of course. Good man! That was really starting to bug me. The song's a classic.
  14. You know, for all his faults Banky does own...
  15. Del Shannon: Runaway Gene Pitney: Town Without Pity ?: Leader Of The Pack I do know who did the last one, but it's late and my think-station is fucked.
  16. Comfortably Numb from disc 2 of The Wall would qualify as a hit even if it's not on the charts... some studies show that it's one of the most played songs in radio history. You could say that of "Stairway To Heaven" or "We Will Rock You" (possibly), but neither were hits if they weren't available as singles.
  17. People also dislike what's stupid (e.g. Eagan, Johnson, the Power Trip)
  18. Rated G for ghey.
  19. BTW, with Banky coming back with the BANKYWOOD name, does that mean all his aliases are available again? Mercy...
  20. I'm a little hazy on US chart history, but could you consider Pink Floyd as two-hit wonders? They may have had earier hits with Syd, or later hits after Roger left, but "Money" and "Annother Brick In The Wall" could be classed as their only two hit singles stateside...
  21. That was you? I thought it was Banky.
  22. It's more than sad. It's immensely tragic. Which is why some guy a few thousand years back decided to create "Heaven and Hell". And I'm not talking about God.
  23. Dude, everyone likes Kevin Smith movies. Even Eagan, and he's an idiot.
  24. This was only good in the beginning. It went downhill quickly after I joined...
