Are Gods only for people who need crutches? Doesn't everybody need a crutch occasionally?

Would your Eutopian idea really work?

I like the thought, though...

P.S. Would Beer Chang be allowed in your Eutopia?

Yes parahandy..beer would exist....can't live on an island without beer.....as would murderers, rapists, crack heads , druggies....No society can be exempt from the criminal classes but god would not exist...it is a dream,never to be fullfilled...but I think there are many people around the world who would happily join me on this island if we could make it come true.....sadly..it is only a dream...and religion..in all its forms..good and bad..will be with us forever..

... and so, hopefully, will beer!

Can't argue with you. Good luck with the island, although it's already beginning to sound a little bit doubtful, with or without God...

Just think of all those free benefits that you get from God - I guess they wouldn't be available on your Island.

Most of us here on this Island that features such places as England and Wales are expecting a megga handout from God tonight - 7" of snow - no work tomorrow

Now you wouldn't get freebies like that on Atheists' Island, would you?

And, looking at the news today, it would seem that He Has Delivered!

Would we get this on 'our island'? Not sure. We could, instead, end up with no snow, no rain, perfect sunshine every day, drought, famine, cholera and the plague...

But, Mai Pen Rai, who cares?

P.S. Big Boy, and all others on Mud Island - hope you're OK...

The big man (or lady?) failed miserably! Just to prove it, I'm writing this from my desk at work. Only an inch of snow delivered last night - barely enough to make the car skid on the way to work.

Oh Dear!

So He/She/It didn't deliver as promised?

Does this mean that the proponents of the other island may have a point?!

Have a safe slide home tonight...

No sliding tonight, its now pouring with rain, and the snow is disappearing very quickly.

Shucks! The remains of wet slush are horrible! Sympathies... With any luck you will get more tonight and tomorrow will be better. Of course, we wouldn't have this problem on Athiest's Isle - just lots of others!

Sorry to hear that big man didn't deliver the snow....but he must be busy...he did give you bird flu in Norfolk...he can't do everything.......the beer is still cold here if you want to join me..?....

Big Jimmy, you've been saying your prayers then!

Thought that the bird 'flu was in Suffolk, albeit in a farm owned by Narfolk boi Matthews ('bootiful'). Also thought that it was a home-grown Thai variation on a theme...

Perhaps He was a bit too busy at the time...

(Wouldn't have that sort of stuff on 'our island', but cold beer - yes!)
