Give it a try.
You've grown old.
You die and you're dust melting back into the earth.
The world, planets, stars all eventually join you - rotting away in the cold and dark infinite nothingness of ashes.
Now, why again were you alive ??
No reason at all ?
Its macho to just accept the void of absurdity maybe ?
We just all look back an ...[text shortened]... WHAT JESUS SAYS AND THE BIBLE. [/i]
I want to give at least equal time for God to speak.

Is it similarly strange to you that it should be taken as some sort symbolic link to homosexuality ?
It's no less silly than me creating new religion and claiming 'thunder' is a sign of my new power in the universe. (Even though thunder clearly precedes such a claim). Indeed, you are rendered into the ludicrous position of postulating that there were atmospheric changes and that moisture in the air only occurred post flood.
