quote:Actually, the dinner went a lot better than I thought it would: Stalin spent the whole meal hiding under the table quivering in terror, Jack the Ripper tackled the turkey and obsessively carved it into little strips, Caligula was shouting at the chairs ordering them to prostrate themselves before him, while Genghis Khan got drunk and started shooting arrows into the chandelier. We all lived through it, with only minor injuries. I guess it was a good thing that each was so absorbed in his own personal world of madness that nobody took much notice of what anyone else was doing. Most of those injuries were either accidentally self-inflicted knife wounds or just stray arrows. -------------------- The A.E. van Vogt Information Site My Tribute to the Greatest Writer of the Science Fiction Golden Age Posts: 907 | Registered: Monday, July 15 2002 07:00 |

So only those who consider God a fictional person can invite him? Seems unfair to the faithful! —Alorael, who isn't sure that fiction has ever really been people. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

Can I invite Casper the friendly ghost? He's both fictional and ethereal. [ Thursday, August 11, 2005 14:26: Message edited by: Zaiu ] -------------------- Nena Posts: 2032 | Registered: Wednesday, January 26 2005 08:00 |

You'd ruin his angst and he wouldn't thank you for it in the long run, although he might be pathetically grateful in the short term. —Alorael, who feels the need to point out that Casper is dead as well as fictional and ethereal. He fits into all categories of removal from current reality! Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

quote:Really? God got the trains to run on time? Wow. That must've been talked about in 2 Chronicles, a book that I've always found rather confusing.

It's clearly apocryphal, because nobody has ever made the trains run on time. —Alorael, who can only hope that the public transit system in heaven is better. According the Bible, though, the only transportation is probably walking. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

Well just because we're in heaven doesn't mean we don't mind aching feet! Heaven better have trams, or it'll be far from an "eternal paradise." Pssh... I bet Hell has escalators, at least. -------------------- The critics agree! Demonslayer is "a five star hit!" raves TIMES Weekly! "I've never heard such thoughtful comments.

If what is said about God is true, then He is very similar to Stalin. I like that comparison. -------------------- "Like most of life's problems, this one can be solved with bending" Posts: 287 | Registered: Tuesday, August 19 2003 07:00 |

You know, I once wondered why Satan is called the prince of darkness. Then it came to me, that since God created Satan (and darkness as well) and is in all ways superior to him, then of course He must be the king! And since Stalin killed a lot more people than Hitler... -------------------- Somebody PLEASE turn the heat on. Posts: 617 | Registered: Tuesday, April 13 2004 07:00 |
