I don't know, but I finally had to click on that ad to see what it was. I like this t-shirt: https://secure.woodysgrooming.com/product-print.wood?product=32

I don't think that simply believing in ghosts (not the "Holy Ghost") makes a person religious - unless they worship these ghosts or think that they created the universe or something. But I suppose religion can be defined in many different ways. And if it doesn't necessarily require belief in a god to be religious, then I suppose that atheists can be religious too.
-
Some atheists might have that mentality, but that is not what defines them as atheists. Their disbelief in God is the only thing that defines them as atheists; the reasons why they don't believe in God can vary widely.
-
I'd say you also have a religious bent anyway. I think atheist still wouldn't apply. What do ghosts, fairies, and the Easter Bunny have to do with being religious? Well, obviously "Easter" is a religious thing, but to believe nothing about it except that a giant bunny hides eggs once a year - that doesn't seem to have anything to do with religion.

I saw that on amazon.com - it was suggested to me as something I might like (probably because of the Richard Cheese CD's that I've bought). I listened to the samples, and it sounded pretty good. There was a bluegrass tribute to Black Sabbath too, and some others...

No. If you believe in an unconventional god then you are not an atheist. If you believe in ghosts and fairies and the Easter Bunny, but you don't believe in a god, then you are an atheist. (You're probably a drug addict too, or a psycho, but that's irrelevant.)
-
Right. The term "atheist" only refers to not believing in a god or gods; it has nothing to do with any other beliefs. And you can believe in the supernatural without believing in any type of god.
-
Atheism is the disbelief in the existence of a god or gods. Spirituality does not necessarily have anything to do with gods. Therefore, it is possible for an atheist to be spiritual. Now excuse me while I go search for some chicken bones to throw at rehmwa.

Not now dear, I have a headache.

Ok. You can't help it if you don't recognize talent when you see it. ( Just kidding... )

Paul! I'm disappointed in you... She is _spectacular_ in that movie! I love Judy Garland, but I think that Liza is great too.
-
Oh, and "Cabaret" (Liza Minnelli) is also one of my favorite musicals. (I think it would be considered a musical???) That movie has some great music/dance numbers in it.

Singin' in the Rain Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (the one with the Bee Gees) is a close second.

According to this webiste (which I found with a quick Yahoo search ), it sounds like they don't wear bras: http://www.csulb.edu/~rtoossi/PhysicsBook/book/Chap06-NewtonsLaw/Newton_2ndLaw/weight.htm (at the bottom of the page) And it's on the Internet, so it must be true...

It doesn't sound like Randy has a phobia of dogs; it sounds like he has a very rational concern about having a large dog at his house and around a small child. As a pet owner, the mother-in-law needs to take responsibility for her pet and make arrangements for it to be taken care of when she travels. It is irrational for her to think that her dog should be welcome at other people's homes.

Agreed. It's a depressing thought, but it's true..... I don't think of it as a depressing thought. I think that feelings of self-importance tend to lead to depression, anxiety, and general unhappiness. To me, being unimportant isn't a bad thing - it means that all of my problems are not really important either.

My cats did that to me once... It's always nice to start the day by waking up with your face bleeding.

Different strokes...

Lucky you.

No; needles are fun.

Kinda hard to be wrong with that one. I got the same thing, and I think it's correct... No one ever believes me when I tell them I'm from Texas. Even though I lived there until I was 29, I don't think I ever had a Texas accent.

What do you think about people sueing McDonalds?
Shotgun replied to stayhigh's topic in Speakers Corner
So you think that we should sue most of the companies that make breakfast cereals too? Personally, I think that parents should decide what their children eat, regardless of what marketing is aimed at kids. The more we move away from personal responsibility, the more we will have the government telling us what we can and cannot consume, and I don't think that's a good thing. -
What do you think about people sueing McDonalds?
Shotgun replied to stayhigh's topic in Speakers Corner
It's as silly as smokers suing tobacco companies, alcoholics suing distilleries, coke heads suing their dealers, etc., etc.... And besides, eating at McDonald's doesn't make anyone fat, but eating too many calories might... And plenty of people eat too many calories without ever eating at McDonald's. -
My post and explaination had nothing to do with being shallow. It had to do with being polite to the person who said "how are you doing." I think that asking "how are you doing?" without meaning it is a shallow thing to do. Yes, it's socially acceptable, but that doesn't make it any less shallow (IMHO).
-
Not really. "How are you doing" is a socially acceptable greeting that typically requires a quick response to continue in what the conversation was initially started for. "Socially acceptable" and "shallow" are not mutually exclusive.
