2 It's like they say, if you believe in nothing, you will believe in anything. The Euro-Libs are ripe for the picking.

3 I believe in nothing. Except for survival, liberty, and prosperity, in that order, and I'm doing okay.

4 "Nihilists! F*ck me. I mean, say what you like about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, at least it's an ethos. " Donny: Are they [nihilists] gonna hurt us, Walter? Walter Sobchak: No, Donny. These men are cowards.

5 The question on everyone's lips however, is would she get 72 male virgins? Or would she just get gangbanged by Yasser Arafat and Sheik Yassin...

6 I am a blog pimp, hear me roar. Wino beat me to the punchline!

7 Now Dan, you have posed a question I would like answered by a Muslim scholar, or whoever the hell out there knows. If a woman dies and she is not a virgin, then what happens to her? She can't be one of the 72 virgins(or raisins, you do the translation). What is the fate of this poor woman? Next question, given that the number of men and women are roughly equal, where do they get all those virgins? Just asking.

8 Joe, it's the same magic that lets virgins get pregnant, allows people to walk on water, turn water into wine, feed multitudes with a few loaves and fishes, raise the dead, and rise from the dead. Archaic religions were born in an era when myth and superstition were stronger than logic and reason, and somehow these primitive beliefs have managed to survive into the modern era almost unchanged, much to the detriment of civilization and contrary to the advancement of humanity. It is no surprise that as Greek thought began to spread in the Western world, the old religions became less and less important, and were gradually replaced with Christianity, which in its original form, was fairly devoid of magic and myth, and relied almost exclusively on the teachings of Jesus, (who in the early days, before the Council of Nicea, was generally considered to be a man rather than a god), rather than his alleged magic tricks, but then as time progressed and the recidivists got themselves in charge, he was elevated to god status to allow the fledgling church, under the Emperor Constantine, to consolidate power. We all know what happened after Christianity went from being a philosophy based in compassion and love, to a full-blown cult, with the might of an empire behind it, and nobody can deny it. As an atheist I have no problem whatsoever with the teachings of Jesus, (a.k.a. Yeshua bin Yusef, his real name), generally speaking, and consider him to be a great teacher, on par with Buddha, (a.k.a. Siddharta Gautama), and Lao Tzu, (a.k.a. Li Erh), feel that if people would only try to practice their teachings and forget about their alleged magic tricks, religion wouldn't be so easily rejected by so many people, like me, for example. I'm a more ethical, moral person than most religious people I know, because I don't try to justify my bad deeds, (many and various, according to some with no small knowledge of me, especially in my intemperate youth), by some abstract interpretation of of an ancient rant by some goat-herder living in a cave, and taken out of context. Likewise, I don't need a scriptural reason to do good deeds, (fewer than should be, but hey, I'm only human), and so I reject religion as meaningless ritual and dangerous dogma, because I understand that morals and ethics, as well demonstrated by centuries of atrocities committed by pious religious men and women, are not necessarily interminably connected to religious belief.

9 Rust belt? Belgium has a rust belt? What do they do there, manufacture rust?

10 Pixa, No, they manufacture belts for people named Rusty. I bet the illustrious Dr. Rusty Shackleford gets all his rust belts from Belgium. Well, that's my theory. Your alternate theory might be right, also. I think I'll think about it some more. Tell you what, I'll get back to you on this one.

11 Agent Smith says that Belgians eat horses. Agent Jones adds that horses are not to be eaten.
