Anyone get off there butt today?

It's gym day and I feel sore the old gang was all there and pumping iron, a
little dancing/singing to the oldies for it was a good workout.

Today was arms day and I can feel it arms are burning.

Old Rummy got in a little jitter bugging with the squat rack and mike sang
Missy, that seems to be one of his favor it songs, wish he would learn the
words.

Really looking forward to Wednesday, leg day. I intend to have a good sore
week and feel good about this week.

OK kids, off your duff and on the benches lets go you're half a day behind
right now.

Hey I spent about 4 hrs at an easter egg hunt/party for my daughter (despite
being an atheist) but still managed an hour bike ride. But that was nice of
you to make toys and dinner for the fam.

I'm just glad they moved back from Arizona so I can watch my nephews

You sound like a really good uncle. I was uncle to my older sibs' kids for
yrs. Now they're all grown. I finally got a real late start at age 46 and
had one of my own kids. You ever thought about having your own?

That's a myth, Burr. Everyone's scared for their lives in a foxhole (or the
equivalent) but if they're honest with themselves and don't buy into what
they have always regarded as fairy tales, they don't find religion as an
easy way out. The only just god I could believe in is one who does't punish
you for remaining true to your principles.

Unlikely to happen.
I'll just enjoy sis's kids. She's 10 years younger.

Congrats tho', it's cool that you finally have a kiddo of your own.

Boy or girl?

And how would you? What if the true God's (which could be some Spotted
Fluffy-Monster) policy is to send to hell everyone who worships the
wrong one, but to spare non-believers? I think that for a god to
punish heritics would make perfect sense. Since there are many
religions, then, obviously, most of them are in the business of
worshiping the wrong god.

Who's stuck scared in the fox hole now?

Continuing this line of argument, when the day comes, an atheist will
claim ignorance, but what would a zealous believer say? Continue to
assert that the Fluffy is a false god? Admit that the real reason he
believed in a wrong god was that he is scared of punishment?

Dunno about you but bottom line for me is that the reality of a god in the
mode of judeo-xian religions resonates no more than a Spotted Fluffy
Monster. I try to live a good life, help others, use common sense, and if
that's not enough to satisfy whatever god might exist, then fuck him.

Burr brought up the fox hole, so there you have it. It would be Burr,

According to Judeo-Christian tradition, you are supposed to be scared of
punishment. That's the right thing to do. Those who aren't scared are
sinners, and they will be punished even harder.

Now, I've no idea how Fluffy sees things here. He could be that vicious
kind of bastard, who rewards only those who don't bother him with
prayers and punishes those who worship the wrong gods or do their rites
wrongly. Gods in Nethack do just that.

Fine, but Judeo-Christian isn't my tradition. I grew up with no
exposure to religion. So, how am I supposed to choose between the
Bible and the Koran?

It's not like Coke vs. Pepsi, mind you, because my soul is at stake.

I had to look it up. I played a computer game once, around 1990 and it
sucked.

In fact, I suspect that my soul got so stilldead-bored, it left the
building. I mean, the body.

There is this concept of gnosis, which means that God can influence you
directly and will help you choose right. Although he may not care for
you much, and not influence you. Or you may shut yourself off from his
influence (which I think is close to official understanding of how it
supposedly goes).

Ignorance is no defense.

You may safely try Nethack. http://www.nethack.org/v343/Guidebook.html
It's irresistibly geekish.

Information is immaterial. What makes you really you has very little to
do with a carrier itself, so this soul concept isn't all stupid.

I have been training for a month now since I had the flu. I am still
significantly weaker. That flu really ate a lot of muscle tissue this time.

My youngest daughter picked me up and took me to the zoo with her and 3 of
my grandkids. It was fun.

Hard to believe this all started from someone asking if anyone went to the
gym

Welcome to MFW.

Burr
PS, I still don't know who has gone to the gym yet.

Look in to immune system boosting supplements.
I personally recommend milk thistle. It's the only thing I've changed in
my supplements and every single co-worker came down with the flu' this
year so I was constantly exposed.

So far, I've managed to avoid it. ;-)

Regular hand washing helps too.

I should probably arrange a zoo trip with the nephews. Dys' is old
enough now to appreciate it. There is a good one in San Antonio.
