Religion is ok as long as it doesn't turn into an argument. I just want to keep the place fun.

Thats good, lots of interesting times chatting about comparitive religions.

Are there any religions apart from Sikhism that would survive unchanged on the discovery of intelligent life on another planet?

It's more if they found any here would any Religion survive.  :icon_angel:

Probably most would survive. Religions - contrary to the belief of some - are extremely stubborn and adabtable. Unchanged? I don't think any religions have survived unchanged since... yesterday. Even if some fundamentalists imagine it.

And my main education is in comparative religion and social anthropology. So sometimes I have some trouble keeping away from the subject  ;)

Anyhoo i would sell my soul dearly.. along the lines of steve martins wishes.

     Steve Martin: If I had one wish that I could wish this holiday season, it would be that all the children to join hands and sing together in the spirit of harmony and peace. If I had two wishes I could make this holiday season, the first would be for all the children of the world to join hands and sing in the spirit of harmony and peace. And the second would be for 30 million dollars a month to be given to me, tax-free in a Swiss bank account. You know, if I had three wishes I could make this holiday season, the first, of course, would be for all the children of the world to get together and sing, the second would be for the 30 million dollars every month to me, and the third would be for encompassing power over every living being in the entire universe. And if I had four wishes that I could make this holiday season, the first would be the crud* about the kids definitely, the second would be for the 30 million, the third would be for all the power, and the fourth would be to set aside one month each year to have an extended 31-day orgasm, to be brought out slowly by Rosanna Arquette and that model Paulina-somebody, I can't think of her name. Of course my lovely wife can come too and she's behind me one hundred percent here, I guarantee it. Wait a minute, maybe the sex thing should be the first wish, so if I made that the first wish, because it could all go boom tomorrow, then what do you got, y'know? No, no, the kids, the kids singing would be great, that would be nice. But wait a minute, who am I kidding? They're not going to be able to get all those kids together. I mean, the logistics of the thing is impossible, more trouble than it's worth! So -- we reorganize! Here we go. First, the sex thing. We go with that. Second, the money. No, we got with the power second, then the money. And then the kids. Oh wait, oh jeez, I forgot about revenge against my enemies! Okay, I need revenge against all my enemies, they should die like pigs in hell! That would be my fourth wish. And, of course, my fifth wish would be for all the children of the world to join hands and sing together in the spirit of harmony and peace. Thank you everybody and Merry Christmas.

I think hindus allready for the most part believe in it. Some of the minor deities are supposed to live on othe planets, some on the moon. And Black muslims (nation of islam) believe that ALL white people are invaders from another planet  :icon_razz:

Since this topic is getting to deep for me (I studied Anthro/History in Univ so my head still aches from religious garbage)...I will return it to simpler times.

A Harem.


if I had two souls-I think a Harem and an Aston Martin Vanquish.
  Maybe I could take someone elses soul to use for some of these-cuz I always would LOVE a King Tiger to rebuild.

Oh and an A1 Skyraider

Lotto Win

New Computer

Vente Iced Vanilla Latte

(The harem stays consistant with all the above)


.......  I might appear cheap-but im actually athiest :)

Well, dialing back the philosophical intensity as well...

I'm pretty happy with my lot.  I like my job, we just bought a cool house and my wife and I are family-planning...  there's lots of things we need to do, housewise, etc, so...

Taking the question more figuratively than literally, I'd be happy if we had an unlimited remodelling budget, if we had an awesome in-home gym, had more camping gear, if I could dial back my workdays to 3 days per week and if Amanda could go part-time so that we can enjoy more time together and start taking trips and having real vacations.  I'd like more time for fitness and for hobbying and gaming.

But I'm keeping my soul.  And my integrity.  Those aren't for sale.

My soul is up for grabs. You want it? Just give me your adress and I'll send it over :icon_razz:
Integrity? Well I don't know the meaning of the word. I'll tell anyone anything about myself sparing no details and do virtually anything without blinking. The only thing that stops me is that I doubt anybody would be very interested...

BUT, I'll only do the above for free, never for money or material gain. Doing it for money would be selling out. Doing it without money is just being wide open and with no defenses and totally and radically naive - which it is my goal in life to be.
