Some others not only want to go in paradise and live forever but they expect to have 40 virgins for them when they get there! But I don't expect from you to ever say a bad word about them ;) I hope you are happy that you ruined Deniz topic! :(


Thanks for your concern Sotos, but Bananiot did not ruin anything. Lately I too have turned my back on religion but it will not stop my well wishes for my fellow humans.

I wish I could say Kalo Paska to Oracle too. Oracle are you reading this!!!!!!!!!!!!


... oooh .... good time for another Resurrection.

Deniz, Halil,

Thank you kindly for your seasonal greetings: Καλο Πασχα to all in CF.

The Keo is cooling nicely in the Fridge.

Sotos, the other day your friend wished me I would choke on my (Saturday) coffee and you kept quite. You did not display (nor did Daniella) any compassion back then. Of course I didn't do him the favour. Now he wishes "kalo pasxa" and I would have been legitimate to have wished him to make the trip to his creator soon, but I didn't.

So you want them to have a life which will last for ever, but not a pleasant one... how Sad...why not just let them have their dream?

Daniela, I think a more critical view of Easter (and all other "facts") we take for granted will not do any harm to anyone.

In our part of the world Easter is a symbol for the beginning of Spring but it can also be the other way round, for people that still like to think for themselves. Spring brings on Easter! Spring also brings on the hope of rebirth, a new beginning (look at nature) but also it brings on the futility of hope. Kiki Dimoula, Greek poet is the master of futility. In one of her poems she says: "The churches are bursting at the seams with people. There is no room for me. It does not really matter. I will hear about "tetelestai" (it is finished - John) from another source. A more reliable source".

The end is unthinkable in the midst of Spring. We all look for a miracle, to be reborn, like nature. Humans have always longed for the message of rebirth. It is a central dogma from time eternal, from Osiris and Adonis, Demetra (goddess of harvest) and Persephone (daughter of Demetra).

Daniela, I hope you can understand the above but if you do not you can still think of me as "disgusting". No problem.

What are you on underdog? They can have their dream as long as it is not at my expense. I cannot even teach kids about evolution in this country and you care about the dream of old women who perhaps remembered god only after satan let go of them?

Halil surprised me there..

Ban, at least have some respect for the people that do believe.
nobody threw it in your face.
I don't go spewing hate speech on the forum during Ramadan, the least you could do is remain silent.
