AI Thread Summary
Cuba's parliament, under Fidel Castro, paused to honor Hurricane Katrina victims with a minute of silence before resuming discussions that condemned the U.S. occupation of Iraq. The conversation then shifted to a lighthearted and chaotic exchange among forum members, with playful banter about the importance of their presence in the forum. The dialogue included humorous claims of divine status and the creation of a fictional church, with members joking about their roles as gods and the need for divine rules. The tone remained irreverent, with discussions veering into absurdities about angels and their symbolic meanings, ultimately reflecting a blend of political commentary and comedic interaction.

Cuba's parliament, led by President Fidel Castro, set aside politics momentarily on Thursday and stood for one minute in silent homage to the victims of Hurricane Katrina -- before quickly returning to normal business and condemning the U.S. occupation of Iraq.

Hmmm, I think I know how to solve this. We'll split it. You can be the god of Right-wing angels, I'll be the god of left-wing leaning angels. :biggrin: How 'bout that?

Are you sure? Whenever they depict angels they're usually floating down slowly, barely moving their wings.

I thought 'divine' was the proper adjective.

Maybe they have nano jet engines embedded in them

Well what the heck is the purpose of having wings if you don't need them?

I don't know, what's the purpose of a halo?
 
  • #32
Whats the purpose of glowing white

A halo has some kind of symbolic meaning. I don't think the wings on angels were meant to be symbolic but more or less to full fill a functional need.

I think it's symbolic of divine power...
 
  • #35
So glowing white can be symbolic, floating rings can be symbolic... Why arn't wings symbolic too?

Because that is just stupid...duh!

You're thinking this thread belongs in GD, so why am I wasting time posting in it? At least anyway that's what I'm thinking. :rolleyes:

So which one of you gets to be the "good" god? You should start campaigning now, before it's too late. Incidentally, I'm the best divine campaign manager there is. Remember Jesus? Well...

And you need to create some divine rules for your mindless worshippers to follow.

You're hired... wait, who did Muhammad, and Buddha, and all those other religious leaders. Tell you what, you're hired and I'll build you a team as soon as I find them. There seems to be such a shortage of divine campaigners recently, maybe I could mix some scientific ones in.
And you need to create some divine rules for your mindless worshippers to follow.
Hmm, what do you recommend? I mean the 10 commandments worked for Jesus, but that's a bit out of fashion now, especially "Be good to your parents" or wahtever it is.
