It seems to me that there will be a point in out development or our evolution where you put your guns aside.
Nonsmokers--this is for you and you only. Ready? Nonsmokers die every day. Sleep tight.
What are you reading for?
I was in Australia....Lotta leg room down under. Apartments: dollar a month. 2000-acre den....think of the parties.
If ur going to have a war on drugs, have them against ALL drugs, including alcohol, the number one offender.
I have something to tell you non-smokers that I know for a fact that you don't know, and I feel it's my duty to pass on information at all times. Ready?. . . . Non-smokers die every day . . . Enjoy your evening. See, I know that you entertain this eternal life fantasy because you've chosen not to smoke, but let me be the 1st to POP that bubble and bring you hurling back to reality . . . You're dead too.
...love rather than fear...this radical philosophy is coming from me, an avowed misanthrope...surely there is hope for us all.

Oh my God. Lift me up out of this illusion, Lord. Heal my perception that I might know only reality and only you.

How do I know the Bible isn't the word of God? Well if it was the word of God it would be clear and easy to understand...considering God was the creator of LANGUAGE!
I don't like anything in the mainstream and they don't like me.
