Some thoughts....
The lack of evidence suggests no life after death. However, being (apparently uniquely) self-aware, and therefore "death-aware", is there any downside for humans in believing that there is an afterlife of some sort? Difficult to see any rational basis for not believing in one. On this basis, any religious construct to formalise this and give it all a bit more "body" is probably helpful.
As to whether there is an actively interventionist God doing miracles, visiting plagues and hurricanes, and getting Kevin Pietersen dropped in his first over, I think it's entirely personal. If you think believing in a third party helps deal with life's vicissitudes, then go ahead.
Personally I don't buy into this because you disappear up your own fundament worrying about a vicious and arbitrary deity, who stomps about, "testing people's faith" by giving them stomach cancer, running over their kids or making them commute on the North Kent Line.
The trouble with religion comes when it gets confused with race, social issues and politics and you start killing people because you don't like them or feel threatened by them or you want their piece of the pie (or just some pie). Religion then becomes as good a reason as any to dress up baser motives. More cynically, it's also easier for governments/kings/dictators to get people to fight wars for an abstract idea (religion, patriotism, "freedom") than persuading them to get killed to keep the fat bastards at the top eating all the pies (pace Blackadder).
In short, it seems mad not to believe in some form of afterlife and religion gives the belief colour and structure. But take it or leave it with the "Meddling God" Just don't get it confused with "I'm going to blow this bus up cos it's the will of Allah".

AHHHHHH!! I hate this thread - which happens after every death - it's like speculating on flies crawling up a window! And we're hardly ever right - who voted for Wiesenthal last time eh? No-one - that's who! Cos everyone always votes for Ronny Bloody Biggs
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
I'll go and have a lie down....

Yep - with a wooden box....

Absolutely - BTW I love your new "title"....

Re Haughey's medical condition, I've always thought he was a walking, talking pain-in-the-arse...

It's all to do with build up of gas as they decay, I know the feeling
I think it's about them exploding inside crematoria....apparently the Germans discovered the problem during the little-reported liquidation of the Polynesian Ghetto in Budapest in November 1943
According to recent research by the Tuno'vuatu Holocaust Centre in Fiji, approximately two Polynesians (one clutching a bag of coconuts) were rounded up in wide sweeps of the city in what later passed into infamy as the "The Night of the Palm Leaves". The victims were herded into a small Volkswagen and driven off never to be heard of again.
The only clue to their fate lies in a copy of an invoice uncovered in 1996 in the archives of Raus, Schnell & Achtung Gmbh, a supplier of bespoke interior brickwork, plumbing and ornamental garden features in the Munich area. The firm saw a marked increase in profits in the middle years of the war apparently due to an upsurge in Government work in the locality following the construction of a number of "refugee facilities".
The "invoice" is a barely discernible handwriitten note:
"Hptn K, To clearing obstruction and re-rendering d'mgd area ins'd of No3 "Pottery Kiln" (!) [sic]. RM 350. NB D'mg caused by explsn in the "kiln" and blckg to drain by pieces of fibrous shell. Suggest review gdlines for opr'tion with mnfctur"
The authenticity and significance of the so-called "Munich Death-invoice" has, of course, been widely questioned since its discovery. In particular, Huamasuatu, the militant protest group which has accused Fiji of repression of the Tongan minority in the region, describes it as further evidence of the "Big Lie". The group claims that in fact only one Polynesian was the victim of Nazi oppression when he was "given a funny look" by an Waffen SS tank commander outside Warsaw in the spring of 1944. They also point to the difficulty of obtaining fresh coconuts in occupied Hungary in 1943.
Tony Blair has condemned the group's comments and given their leader a knighthood.

I saw Olivia de Havilland in Charge of the Light Brigade over the weekend and she looked pretty well I thought...

That's the second person who thinks I'm a woman. Am going to go to the bog to check. Bugger, which one?
No, it's OK am still a bloke.
She's going to a have laugh coming round here to a office of 2,500 trying to find who's posting on DL. Maybe she's going to send Charlie round to kill everyone. Incidentally I see she mentions "future release" so presumably the mad cow acknowledges that today isn't quite the moment to unleash a deranged psycho on society. Maybe when he's in a wooden box....
Is a "Sedgefield Wankergit" something to do with Blair?

You mad, mad woman.
And by the way, I may not have been Mother Bloody Theresa over the last 5 years but I don't recall torturing anyone or beating them to a pulp either. Maybe some of the other guys here...especially those who've done time on the Royal Fora...

I guess there is little chance of finding Nazi criminals in your lounge then.Even less chance of finding them in his lounge now...maybe they can come out of the airing cupboard now...

Bingo! Pass the bagels!

Yes I know but "Supermodel does drugs" is very much in "Cat has Arse" territory....

You'd rather shag someone dead than me and I'm not supposed to be offended???...Bloody Hell - I know I've put on a bit of weight lately, but still....
Sounds like the "Who Would You Rather Shag if You Had To" game - eg Freddie Flintoff or Maggie Thatcher? Or, Jonny Wilkinson or Tessa Jowell ...

What parent wouldn't be delighted, if their daughter brought home such a fine young man.I think the obvious conclusion from this photo is that - if they are both doing tons of charlie daily - then some people can handle it and some can't. I can think of large numbers of complete munters who wouldn't touch a fag but look a damn sight rougher than KM does...

Aye, but I'd contend BRITAIN'S Charles Bronson is just about famous enough. Notorious criminals are world wide cult heroes - witness the attention still lavished on Ed Gein who may have killed as few as two (there's doubt about whether he offed his own brother). Charles Bronson (UK) is also a best selling autobiographical author.I agree he's famous enough but he's not likely to die soon - lifers usually live to a ripe old age and I woudn't expect him to go til his 80's or later. In the meantime, going on about him just provides a platform for this weird group of loons who want him walking the streets. What is wrong with some people??
Stop the damn thread!

I don't really know much about Mr Doherty other than he seems to have certain "issues" and is jumping La Moss.
I suppose it raises an importnat question for the DL - if it continues long into the future - what are we going to do with all the current crop of "celebs" famous for being famous - ie the Jordans, etc. - when they come to shuffle off the mortal coil.
Admittedly, this shouldn't be a widespread problem for another 30-40 years or so. However, as a matter of principle do you have to have "done" something (or had something "done" to you??) to be on the DL or will getting in the paper a lot for having big tits or getting drunk a lot be sufficient?

I think you may be right. How in God's name can he have rights to video footage of him taking a prson officer hostage?
I think this would be a good thread to wrap up fairly quickly - he's not likely to die and I don't see why we should be giving him a platform. He's not glamorous - seriously disturbed, probably - extremely dangerous, obviously - needs to be locked up for ever, undoubtedly.

A mate of mine suggested I do a marathon. Told him to F**k off, but he said it was for spastics and blind kids. I thought - F**k it, I might win this...

I've always said running was bad for you....

And as I believe I have said many times elsewhere, MacCartney is W**ker and if I had the chance I'd make his f*****g stupid eyebrows go even higher by sticking his missus' false leg up his arse.
And the idea of J-Lo having a punch up with her and knocking her leg off is hysterical.
I expect it started because she was pulling her leg....

In this part of the world, the latest disincentive for reckless driving is to leave the wrecked vehicle as close as possible to the scene of a fatal accident.Great disincentive, but a little upsetting for passing relatives I should imagine. Having said that, saves having to find somewhere to hang the football (or rugby) shirts and flowers I suppose.
Sounds a bloody good idea - what part of the world is that?

To be read in pointlessly high pitched Highland accent...
Oh Gladys, Gladys, come tae me
In yer amazin' see-though nightie.
When the moonlight flits
Across yer tits,
Oh Jesus Christ Almighty

Thank you Mr J - how in God's name can we have generated 25+ pages on this bloke?
