Its a real pity that when you die Chico you won't have a chance to realise that there was no God. Now that's real irony -- people believe in after life, but they die and don't even get to know it was all BS.Comment

Originally posted by DimPrawnI you buy a car for its looks then you should be looking at the Alfa Romeo range, not BMW.
However, if you want a car that keeps some value, doesn't end up broken down every week and that can actually offer a fantastic blend of performance, comfort and economy, go back to the BMW dealership.
Not exactly true, the build quality of the Z4 is poor (built in the USA). While the X5 has some problems with lose trim and poor paint finnish!The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

AtW what is really ironic is that most of your country folk do not share your thoughts and for the record Russia is 8th in the list of countries experiencing a rapid growth in Christian.Originally posted by AtWIts a real pity that when you die Chico you won't have a chance to realise that there was no God.

That truly is ironicA third of all Russians still consider themselves nonreligious or atheist, and 7 percent are Muslims (mainly concentrated on the border with central Asia). Slightly more than half--84 million, or 57 percent--profess Christianity. Most of these are part of the Russian Orthodox Church, though some 1.5 million each belong to the Protestant and Catholic traditions, both of which are growing at a rate far exceeding the Orthodox Church. Charismatics number nearly 4 million.
Believers in Russia experienced one of the most severe and sustained periods of religious persecution in recent history. Martyrs numbered in the millions. The possibility of persecution is still real because the government and the tradition-bound Orthodox Church look with suspicion on the unorganized influx of emerging new ministries. In the midst of this turmoil, however, a window for significant church growth has opened.
The Russian church is growing at about 0.1 percent per year. With the population in decline this is significant. By 2050, the church in Russia will likely have about the same numbers it does today, or perhaps less. However, a higher percentage of the population will be Christian, rising from about 57 percent to possibly 75 percent. The makeup of the church will likely also shift, with Protestants and Catholics gaining significant shares of the total Christian population.Sola gratia
