On Saturday,
I was one of only two England fans in the bar, and when we scored against USA me and the other guy went to hug each other and butted heads instead, leaving me with a nice bruise on my forehead. The yanks were more than amused.

This summer, I hope to go back to college to start working towards a degree in either history or English Lit.

When we were going through mums stuff,
we found out that her degree was in theology. We had absolutely no idea - as she was a French teacher we just assumed her degree was in French.

It would be difficult to fail a theology exam
After all, logical reasoning wouldn't be part of the remit.

well it is
you just start from a different viewpoint
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Thu 17 Jun 2010, 13:58, Reply)

A viewpoint of ignoring all logical reasoning
and basing your argument on non existent bollocks.

But you're forgetting people who like to live in a bubble world where everything is all shiney and perfect and snug and everything you want is in there....
... I fucking love my bubble world, it even repaires itself after someone pops it.

There is a god and after life in my bubble world, and I fully admit it might not extend to the real world, but in my bubble world, the place where I live, it's there.

But even if you were to start from a position that you assume there is a god
any attempt to fabricate a testable hypothesis to prove your case would fail.

You can't disprove it of course, which is where faith comes in.

I have to say
I don't think either you or al knows what a theology degree is comprised of :)

it's not very much to do with the existence of God and the proving of it at all
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Thu 17 Jun 2010, 14:02, Reply)

No, you're quite correct
I have no idea. I was just taking the word at face value, in that it's a study of faith in one or more deities.

I was just trying to argue on the internet
I don't actually care one way or the other.

al we're going to
rip each other apart :(

Me with my massive cock
and you with that gigantic strap on. It's going to be fun, but painful.
(Bazongaloid, Thu 17 Jun 2010, 14:11, Reply)

ah
but you'll have to waddle to the hospital and explain you've been ripped apart by a Conservative.

I'll just have to say I've been fucked like the rest of the country, by Labour :)
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Thu 17 Jun 2010, 14:14, Reply)

Except as I've pointed out before
I have never voted for Labour.

I guess yours is worse

( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Thu 17 Jun 2010, 14:23, Reply)

you might be
mixing it up with philosophy :) easy mistake to make- a fair few unis run them as a joint course, it's just here there is a seperate theology degree. It's really interesting stuff if you like history, fairly rigorous thinking and have an eye for detail
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Thu 17 Jun 2010, 14:07, Reply)

Rigorous thinking and eye for detail?
That's me out then : (
( girlinthehole, Thu 17 Jun 2010, 14:14, Reply)

Surely not
it's just having a good memory for stuff (or excellent notes) so you can spot inconsistencies, and make deductions from religious texts
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Thu 17 Jun 2010, 14:15, Reply)

Everyone knows I'm the biggest non-believer going but I do find it all very interesting.

You're not that tubby.

I don't see how you can do this and totally dismiss the idea of 'god' in it's entirely.

I hope to do it again tomorrow night

The place I'm staying at in the mountains
don't open for breakfast till 8am - the US game starts at 7am. I've persuaded them to open an hour early just for the game :)

I'm recording it, I'll be at work when it's on
oh man, breakfast sounds good
