Stephen Fry on The Meaning Of Life

[warmcome]

When I ponder the magnificence of the natural world, of much human endeavour,
I do believe in 'creation'. My small brain cannot compute what that is, and that's fine by me.

Stephen Fry. A stupid persons idea of what an intelligent man is like.

Well , they do say opinions are like assholes.....

[warmcome]

"Rolling!"

[warmcome]

'We have to spend our life on our knees?"

[EIFII]

Well that's just my opinion & of course you are entitled to your delusional state...

It strikes me as arrogant when people on either side of the God-question write as if any reasonable person would agree with them

It strikes me as arrogant when people on either side of the God-question write as if any reasonable person would agree with them

But the burden of proof lies with those who want others to believe in something, that there is zero evidence available to back it up

Was that arrogant...........or a nice way of calling someones bluff?

Just because you believe in something it does not mean it's true, or even exists. Feelings are not facts.

Ah lads, can ye stop ganging up on poor Dob? He may be religious but that's his right and he is one of the good guys here.

Ahh, the meaning of life. The big questions. The important questions.

As I stand out in the freezing cold, late at night, and staring into the immeasurable depths of space, and I see all the uncountable stars, and I know that each star maybe has planets and even intelligent life, and that this is only one galaxy among other innumerable galaxies, and possibly one universe among many universities, I ask myself the profound question all men have asked themselves at some time in their lives.................

DOB is a sound guy.

there was a time when clergy strutted around this domain, arms behind their backs, running the 'show'
relatives told me they would hide behind a hedge as children if they seen them.
things has changed, the church has been rumbled IMO.

i was in that font when i had no choice. many moons back, I was nearly
forced out of the school when I refused to discuss a confirmation.

I smelt BS long before these epic scandals dawned.

I don't think anyone was ganging up on him, just questioning his point of view, you know , like they do on forums like.
