Yes, imagine that....and then Allah gives you 72 virgins as a bonus. Of course, he doesn't tell you if they all look like Rosie O'Donnell or Nicole Kidman.


Nor did he tell you they are also all male.

You know... I was just thinking the same thing the other day. There's got to be a reason why God gives 72 of them. And if you think about it - if all 72 look like truck drivers.....

God has a pretty good sense of hunor.

Scruffy wrote: No, you are wrong. Atheism is the absence of belief in a deity. No claims or denials are made - an atheist is just a person who does not happen to be a theist. There is no "dis-belief" or "belief," there is just the absence of believing in something in which you (PrintSmith) believe.

One can choose to believe whatever they wish Scruffy, but they don't get to define words for themselves.

We can settle this very easily with a True or False question.

True or False. An atheist does not believe in the existence of a divine Creator.

He is a fine looking man! But, nope, sorry, can't be him. My father-in-law often told my hubby that he was born twins, but the other one died laughing at him.
