"Organized Religion is like Organized Crime; it preys on peoples' weakness, generates huge profits for its operators, and is almost impossible to eradicate."

(Coincidently, that was the quote at the bottom of the page when I opened this thread.)

UG -- but, if was unmusical, would people be able to dance to it?

The first classical composition which called for a cymbal and a bass drum to be struck simultaneously was said to be:

"not fit for monkeys to dance to"

Well, in the late Seventies, they danced to disco. I'd been hearing of disco. Then I heard some disco -- I think the song's title was "Fly Robin Fly."

Oh dear. Or more exactly, "Bloody 'ell!" Idiotic. To this day, I'm antipathetic to unbroken, mechanical-sounding 4/4, 120 beats/minute.

From that day to this, I do not hang out with disco listeners, as I dislike to be surrounded by idiots. I prefer idiots aligned along a relatively small number of relative bearings -- the firing solution is simpler.

So did Muslima finally blow him/herself up?

That's right, they're not.
Just childish crap in place of a substantial contribution.

May I ask a serious question?

Thank you

Muslims: I do not have a copy of the Koran handy. Please look up and post Chapter 9 Verse 11. Please.

I really want to see if this says what I heard it does.

Yeah but it makes a great email to read, nod, mutter and forward. Isn't that more important than the truth to break up your day?

What did you think it said. There a number of good sites where you can reverse look up phrases, words, etc.
