Don't wait too long for a reply Clifton lol

I was just wondering what he might say.

I'm about to have a spiritual bowel movement according to this line of reasoning.

I will look for Jesus in the toilet.

okay, i'll take a stab at spirituality - spirituality is all things positive, all things true and nothing false

So according to this definition, all protons and optimists are spiritual!
Hi btw, glad to be on the forum

Please allow me to welcome you to this most hallowed forum.

Sit a spell, take you shoes off and raise hell with us.

Please be aware that this particular thread hasn't been used for 5 months. My best guess is that you'll be talking to yourself.

We have a mental half-wit who oft masquerades as a troll wittering at the moment about fuck knows what cos the imbecile is incapable of stringing a coherent sentence together - but he's mildly amusing.

5 months? Woops, my bad. Well thanks for the welcome anyway, I'll join the more recent discussions then. Just could not pass up on the opportunity to make fun of this definition though

Some people it doesn't seem bother, but maybe they don't have the capacity to feel. I've seen Hitchens comment on it in one youtube video - facing aloneness staring at the galaxy or something. I though that you'd know to cherish your relationships with your fellow man above all else after feeling and aloneness like that, you would yearn for true relationship, and a true relationship is one of holiness in my opinion, I've felt it and that's what I now believe about relationship if you were to catch me in one of my finer moments.

There are seven billion people on this planet. I'd hardly call that 'alone'. As an introverted, curmudgeonly sort; I'd say we have enough togetherness as it stands.

Yeah, we're one speck in a stupendously vast universe; the interstellar equivalent of the shack located in the backwoods. Yet we're a pretty big speck, with lots to keep us busy. Our lifetimes are ridiculously short, yet long enough to provide us with happiness. Yes, the human race will come to an end. Yet, we're probably going to hold on for at least the next 500 years; that's long enough to create a legacy for our grandchildren's grandchildren.

We could contemplate our existence in the universe, or...we could put the bong away and focus on making a good life at *our* level here on earth. Guess what I choose to do?
