An atheist professor of philosophy speaks to his class  on the problem
science has with God, The Almighty. He asks one of his new Christian students to stand  and.....


Professor: You are a Christian, aren't you, son?


Student :  Yes, sir.


Prof: So you believe in God?


Student : Absolutely, sir.


Prof: Is God good?


Student : Sure.


Prof: Is God all-powerful?


Student : Yes.


Prof: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed  to God to heal him.
Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But God didn't. How is this God good then? Hmm?


(Student is silent.)


Prof: You can't answer, can you? Let's start again,young fella. Is God good?


Student :Yes.


Prof: Is Satan good?


Student : No.


Prof: Where does Satan come from?


Student : From...God...


Prof: That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this  world?


Student : Yes.


Prof: Evil is everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything.  Correct?


Student : Yes.


Prof: So who created evil?


Student does not answer.)


Prof: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness?
All these terrible things exist in the world,don't they?


Student :Yes, sir.


Prof: So, who created them?


Student has no answer.)


Prof: Science says you have 5 senses you use to  identify and observe
the world around you. Tell me, son...Have you ever seen God?


Student:   No, sir.


Prof: Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God,smelt your God? Have
you ever had any sensory perception of God  for that matter?


Student : No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.


Prof: Yet you still believe in Him?


Student : Yes.


Prof: According to empirical, testable, demonstrable
protocol, science, says your GOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?


Student : Nothing. I only have my faith.


Prof: Yes. Faith. And that is the problem science has.


Student : Professor, is there such a thing as heat?


Prof: Of course young man there is.


Student : And is there such a thing as cold?


Prof: Yes.


Student : No sir. You are wrong there. There isn't.


(The lecture theatre becomes very quiet with this turn of events.)


Student : Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega
heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don't have anything
called cold.We can hit 458 degrees
below zero which is  no heat, but we can't go  any further after that.
There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the
absence of heat. We  cannot measure cold.
Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.


(There is pin-drop silence in the lecture theatre.)


Student : What about darkness, Professor? Is there  such a  thing as
darkness?


Prof: Yes. What is night if there isn't darkness?


Student : You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is the  absence of
something.You can have low light, normal light,bright light,


flashing light....But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and
it's
called darkness, isn't it? In reality, darkness isn't. If it were you,
would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't you?


Prof: So what is the point you are making, young man?


Student : Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.


Prof: Flawed? Can you explain how?


Student : Sir, you are working on the premise of  duality. You argue there
is life and then there is  death, a good God and a bad God. You are viewing
the concept of God as  something finite, something we can measure. Sir,
science can't even explain a thought.It uses electricity and magnetism, but
has never seen, much less fully


understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life
is to be ignorant of  the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive
thing.
Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it.
Now tell me, Professor. Do you teach your students that they evolved from a
monkey?


Prof: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of
course, I do.


Student :  Have you ever observed evolution with your  own eyes, sir?
(The Professor shakes his head with a smile, beginning  to realize where
the  argument is going.)


Student : Since no one has ever observed the process  of evolution at work
and cannot even prove that this process is an  on-going endeavour, are you

not
teaching your opinion, sir?
Are you not a scientist but a preacher?
(The class is in uproar.)



Student : Is there anyone in the class who has ever  seen the Professor's
brain?
(The class breaks out into laughter.)


Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's brain,
felt it, touched or smelt it?.....No one appears to
have done so.So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable,
demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain,  sir.


With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?


(The room is silent. The professor stares at the student, his face
unfathomable.)


Prof: I guess you'll have to take them on faith, son.


Student : That is it sir.. The link between man & God is FAITH.
That is all that keeps things moving & alive.

told you i had something funny for you.

Mood: tired

One Day at the Welfare Office.
  
A guy walks into the local welfare office, marches straight
  up to the counter and says, "Hi... You know, I just HATE
  drawing welfare. I'd really rather have a  job."
  
The social worker behind the counter says:
"Your timing is excellent!  We just got a job opening from a very
wealthy old man who wants a chauffeur bodyguard for his nymphomaniac
daughter.  You'll have to drive around in his Mercedes, but he'll supply
all of your clothes.  Because of the long hours, meals will be provided.
You'll be expected to escort her on her overseas holiday trips.  You
will have to satisfy her sexual urges.  You'll have a two-bedroom
apartment above the garage.  The starting salary is $200,000 a year".
 
The guy says, "You're bull shittin' me!"

The social worker says, "Yeah, well, you started it."

what do you think?

Mood: ok

Ever had a friend who you once liked and ended up getting physical with and because of that everything got messed up?

 This friend of mine knew a girl from primary school, he kinda liked her back then but she didnt really notice him so he didnt do anything about it. About six years later he stumbles into her and they get chatting and stuff, so now my boy thinks that this is his chance to make that step he could'nt when he was a kid. He asks her out to his Prom and she accepts(he even told his mom about her and for him thats big), they go out once or twice but he's too scared to make a move and after her patiance wore off another guy made a move and went out with her so now he had no choice but to be her friend.

Time went by and they genuinely became good friends. They went their seperate to different Universities but still keeping intouch and then one day she came back from university and they linked up and thats when they started getting physical (Well I mean he was excited cause he always wanted her). He says they didnt go as far as having sex  but he really wanted to but the opportunity just didnt present itself. So now im sure your thinking so their finaly hooked up whats the problem? Well they sperate once again and on doing so things start to get a lil tricky cause now there is no clear cut defination on what the relationship is. My friend being the dumbass that he is, once again does not tell her how he truelly feels about  her untill its too late. Now the girl thinks she was used and he spends all his time trieng to convince her otherwise untill she just stops speaking to him.

You see the situation,. whats your take on the matter.

My day

by: faraig

Mood: cheery

Well today thus far has bin a pretty normal day, considering i was at my lectures and nothing out of the ordinary happened. Dont you sometimes ever wonder wheather anything spontanious will happen, so that at least you have something cool to talk about? Like one time at my high school in Zimbabwe, Africa. The war veterans came to invade us because we had a farm on our school (this was during the land siezures).

It was a normal day in about july 2000, we woke up at 5:45, had breakfast in the dining hall at 6:30 and started classes at 8:00 all as per normal. Then during my geography class i heard loud cheers coming from the main gate. The gate was about 500m away from my class room, so you can imagine how loud this really was. The noise got louder and louder as they approached the second entrance to the school, by now we had all rushed out the classrooms in a panic striken frenzy. Myself and a couple of other guys went to the gate to see the action. There were about 150 peasent farmers with pitch forks and axes demanding to be given the farm on our school. One of the white guys in my class started shouting obscenities at the veterans and threw a bottle at them (this was one of many farm invasions our province had gone through and the white comminunity was getting fed up). The bottle missed and made a loud smash on the tar, this caused the war veterans to get even more rowdy and now they wanted to break down the gate. One of our teachers fired two shots into the air to control the situation. We (the students) were rushed off by the prefects after the second shot because things were getting hectic. I remember whilst running to my hostel hearing people screaming, others shouting in excitement, others singing liberation struggle songs and just all round chaos.

In just 20min a quiet farm shcool turned into "Sowteto Uprisng"(a South African Youth Revolution), with no control over the possible outcomes. Thats the spontinaity im talking about. I've had quite a few if I may add and would love to go on about more but i have a management lecture in 15min. Till my next log in. Ciao ciao
