Adrian - we have just scratched the service - my American partner like the word "You Wanka!" "Your a real brick" is another favorite. There are also many slang terms like "you son of gun" and that comes form the Royal Navy as did "cold enough to freeze the balls on a brass monkey"

Its Bollocks! meaning rubbish, nonsense, drivel. or, I don'ty give a #&%$

Bugger off! is much more use

The power that we deny, the power that frees us, the power that overcomes, the power that religion doesn't want you to know, the power that is yours and it costs nothing - in actual fact you will receive rewards beyond your comprehension. And, the power is SELF. All can be found within and yet we search the globe for some mystic belief some morsel to hang our lot. True freedom is yours for the asking - but like all rewards there is a cost, not of money, but of your time. Start to day, start looking withing and see the the calm, the peace, the warmth, the love. Try it...

Have any of you seen George Carlin's Anti-religious rant? it's on u-tube - the reason this comes to mind is because there is a part when he refers to prays be answered. If you wish your prays answered look to your self and in most cases, unlike some invisible man in the sky, they will be answered.

The point of existence is simple, it really has no mystery, it is to find yourself and enjoy. No one has the secret of life after death; no one has come back from the other side and told us of this place in the sky. Now, I kind of like the idea that karma has a place in all this and that you are your own executioner. I'm an atheist because I can't believe in a god that would allow so much pain and anguish, so much horror and destruction, so much hate and anger. Read Bertrand Russell's "Why I'm not a Christian" and you will see the other reasons. I will not go into all the arguments that we are all too familiar with but try and cut a path through uncharted territory. A good starting point would be "And in the Beginning" Regardless what you call it (God) I presume it to have a form of intelligence, this intelligence must have a starting point, it cannot just appear without a learning process. If there was nothing before the beginning then where did God reside? If God did exist before the beginning then there was something and there was no nothingness. If we believe in this argument then we can start by assuming that in the beginning there was no god and that god (any god will do) must have become all powerful over a great period of time. This thought process could have you believe that this process was over millions of years and so long was the process that what ever did exist became spiritual and had no need for a body. This state along with millions of other spiritual beings became inquisitive and wanted the experience it sown beginnings. So, we came along and you can now imagine that we are still very close to the cave that brought us into this world.
See Zeitgeist it's another look into the religious beliefs of Christians. Buddhism I believe comes closet to my theory of the evolution of the spiritual mind.
