  3. Why is the national anthem called God Save the Queen? Why when someone dies, we write RIP. Peace......where? Bobby Robson no longer exists apart from in people's memories if you were to believe what some people write here. Others might say he is 'up there' managing a team to take on the Devil's XI! If there is a heaven then how could it be more amazing than our planet, if we didn't f**k it up so much with greed and power. As Cat Stevens once wrote 'the answer lies within'. Not that I'm advocating the religion he turned to or any religion for that matter.
  4. Have you any ailments that might be cured without conventional medicine? My particular one is a stye in my eye. Any suggestions welcomed. Maybe this could become a sort of ED ER, of the alternative type!
  5. I think this is my favourite sentence in this thread!
  6. What makes you think he needs/wants you to believe in him? I think, if he exists then he would be much more interested in you knowing him/her/it! From memory it was always my mother who seemed to know what I was 'thinking'.
  7. This will be for use in a rented house for the family holiday so no internet access as is available in hotels. No I haven't a clue, please advise.
  8. David I presume the sim card is inserted in the dongle? Is that correct? Thanks Declan
  9. Thanks Guys. Dongle was the word I couldn't remember!
  10. My Mrs wants to use her laptop in Spain later in the month. I know there is a device which can assist this but can't for the life of me remember what it's called or how it works. Can anyone remind me of the name of the device?
  11. Isn't Twitter stupid?
  12. Bookshelves.......handy for keeping books if you want to sit down and read in your chair under the standard lamp with your nest of tables.
  13. Does this mean that any Drawing Room topic can be excluded from there by sabotage? Not that I'm saying you did this Brendan but 'The Chair' obviously considered your input as off topic. Surely the offending message should be zapped rather than moving us all into The Lounge.
  14. I think you are confusing religion with God. Religions talk about God, tell you what God will do if you don't follow his/their laws..............but heck none of them show you God. You have to die first according to them. Meet him in heaven. What a cop out. Nobody has come back and told me what happened after they died. That doesn't mean there isn't a God.
  15. Why does it have to be a question of belief? Religions in my opinion sell God and their beliefs on the basis of 'if you don't follow us you will be punished by God'(apologies to any religion out there which doesn't operate this way). If God were God (as in the concept) he would hardly give us life to make us fearful of doing something he wouldn't like, for the duration of it. Thus the only way of knowing what God wants is to know God. He may not want anything apart from our discovering him. My suspicion is that there may be a 'God' that exists in a realm where our human consciousness rarely touches, if ever. By our nature we are always wishing to be happy. It dosen't always happen though and lots of us can be miserable for one reason or another. However there is a part of us seeking something better all the time. Sometimes we achieve our goal and find that that isn't enough and thus we set a new goal. Perhaps our ultimate goal is to find God but only if we choose to. We may settle for something less than total fulfillment (that being the experience of finding God..........in theory). It will remain a theory until you experience it. If you do you are unlikely to be able to prove it. It's an individual thing by definition. So to answer my own question. There is a God.
  16. 'But let's say my bad deeds were worthy of demotion to insect-life - surely that has to be a life badly lived, and our purpose is to create a society which a) discourages such behaviour b) failing that, punishes such behaviour' We are born alone and we die alone. Why would our purpose be to create any type of society? We may find it useful to have one and find it difficult to avoid but there has got to be more of a purpose than merely that surely?
  17. Brendan, what are you talking about? It's a simple question and nothing to do with needing to believe anything. I'll see you in the Lounge!
  18. Sean, what if you came back as an ant because you didn't use your human life to 'reason why'? Why search for a reason? Because we have been built to need one,maybe!
  19. This is the drawing room so I figured I couldn't be throw out with this topic. Just testing the water really!
  20. You make a lot of points Sean all very interesting. Just leads to more questions though. If there is no point in existence why is there life in the first place? Why are you a human and why is Rex a dog? Do you place any merit on those people who claim to have had near death experiences where it seemed they were going 'somewhere'? Could reincarnation not include coming back as something other than a human? Are we really here just to have as entertaining a life as is possible without there being a reason for it? So far I've just asked questions. I'll offer an opinion at a later date.

Given that my real name is Dawn and I'm from Essex I think you can rule me out of the betting or at least change my odds TLS! PS. What is Irish anti decency anyway?
  22. In 100 years we will all be dead, most likely! What will the point of our existence have been? Is there an afterlife? Is there reincarnation? Is there a God? Discuss!

    Just wondering if anyone has recent experience of this as it will happen to me in 3 months. Do you sign on and be told you can't receive any benefit until every last penny you have is gone? Do you deny having any pennies at all? What do you do if you don't have another job to go to?
