You remember me posting the videos of Hitler parodies? That video seriously is in need of that.
Do you believe dinosaur bones were put into the Earth by Satan?

Agreed!

Where is the sign for "show me your tits or GTFO"?
I wish there was one. There were a few women rampers who were pretty good looking.
In the military, the flightline would get very hot due to all the concrete so it was common for ground crew personnel to unbutton their coveralls revealing a t-shirt underneath. This chauvinistic male helicopter pilots could use the rotor wash to gently blow apart the coveralls and press the tshirt neatly around the body of the female marshaller.
Sometimes hot and sweaty is a good thing.
Stop it.
At a guess, the rotor wash was over 70kt. The marshaller would be wearing goggles and hearing protection for safety.
Imagine a hot, sweaty well built young woman in a tshirt, arms outstretched and facing a 70kt wind. It's kinda like that scene on the bow in Titanic but with pokies.

Hello Cypress,
I looked at this thread title on the 'latest posts' page this AM and thought it looked familiar. But I was wondering why it didn't show my post of yesterday. D'oh! That's when I remembered I had written one, never finished it, and then left the computer to go do real life, never got back to the partially written post, and later on just shut down for the night and it was trashed. Oh well.
IIRC it went something like this:
Science is constantly making new discoveries. Science is constantly filling in more of the mysteries of our world.
Religion is stuck in the past. There are no new discoveries in religion. It is the same old stories from long ago.
This puts religion at a huge disadvantage. Science wins.
I see it as only a matter of time until most humans realize this.
Oh sure, there will be plenty of clinging to religion, and that will probably never completely go away. I simply see it getting smaller and smaller.
9 old churches for sale ripe for renovation
"Charming chapels with conversion potential
If modern houses just don't do it for you, why not consider something with a little more soul? Steeped in history and offering no end of charming features, these abandoned churches are packed with conversion potential. From a Victorian Methodist church in England to a beautiful 19th-century chapel in New Hampshire, these abandoned buildings won't require divine intervention to transform into heavenly homes."

Because there were the right conditions.
Thanks for coming contributing your thoughts on this subject.
I myself an recalcitrant to makes any categorical judgement on the ultimate fate of religion.
For one thing, I do not think there is any universal definition of what religion is, or means.
Religion as generally defined, is a modern western construct which does not have parallels in many other languages or world cultures.
While we generally think of religion as involving a supernatural deity and a church, mosque, or synagogue, I actually like this definition by the noted theologian Max Stackhouse--
Religion: "a comprehensive worldview or 'metaphysical moral vision' that is accepted as binding because it is held to be in itself basically true and just even if all dimensions of it cannot be either fully confirmed or refuted".
Sybil is a little "different". Have you skimmed through his fake forum?
If you make handprints in drying concrete, your prints will be roughly the same age as the concrete, at least on geologic time scales.
Maybe you can explain why this concept is so difficult for conservatives to grasp.
Too much glue-sniffing as kids?
Agreed that Westerners, especially Americans, view "religion" as having a deity at its focus, but I use the more general definition that religion is "a particular system of faith and worship." Ergo, atheism is a religion for some although more loosely described as a cult:
a relatively small group of people having religious beliefs or practices regarded by others as strange or sinister.

Hello Cypress,
A good observation.
I don't see churches going away completely any time soon.
People don't always go to a church because they need to reaffirm their beliefs.
They often go just for the social interaction and a sense of belonging to something greater than themselves.
I bet there are a LOT of agnostics in churches who are simply afraid to talk about their true feelings.
Gotta be a lot of frustration there.
We don't see any frustrated people here on this forum, do we?
