In hell, you get poked with pitchforks and burn in flames. In jail, you get three square meals a day, and if you want anything extra, you can become someone's b****.

I'd take jail over hell any day.


You're so vain, you probably think this post is about you.

Quoted from Mairi
My life would certainly be more hassle-free without religion...


Try having to deal with your own mortality as well as that of everyone you care about!  My life was much easier when I was religious.

Well, at least with religion you get some standards to go by, it's true. But there are so many. I don't do many things, even though I would like to. Also, I get judged and harassed sometimes because of my religion.

It was his choice to be how he was. It may be something he related to deeply. Asking why he was like that is like asking why they liked music. It's more something you gravitate towards than say "Hey I'm gonna be religious" But thats just my opinion from my experience.

God is in every atom and therefore everything, everything is eternal and eternity is infinite.

Some belive God is an old bloke sat on a cloud.

Believe what you want to belive, just don't murder or rape or be a kiddie fiddler.

And that is all I want to say.

Well, What can I say. I think George was a mystic person, not a religius person at all. He wanted to discover what God is and how can He manifest in our minds and body. For me, it is was easier for George to do it trhough the eastern believes, because he found harmony with that way of live in India. But he also never wanted to be considered a Saint. He was a human being with great emotions, very good in some momentes, but terrible in others. And I learned to love him just because of this.  Unfortunaly I only discovered Mr. Harrison as a human being after his death.
Nowadays I have been researching about him. Great man in his last years!

George Harrison's widow says that he was preaching to himself

George Harrison's widow Olivia says that some critics and fans misunderstood George's spiritual lyrics as being so serious that they bordered on preachy. Olivia told us that George often used his songs as his own form of spiritual guidance: "He also wrote these things to remind himself. People sometimes accused him of preaching (laughs). But y'know, he was really preaching to himself. He wasn't trying to say, 'You be like this because I'm already like this.' No, he was always trying to remind himself. And that's the reason he liked India so much, because he said that, 'Everywhere you went, there was a reminder.'"

Nothing wrong with being preachy. It can touch people predisposed to it. And the others can just enjoy the song without thinking of the lyrics. George's spirituality gave a fine dimension to Beatles' music. John the progressive, Paul the ambitious, George the spiritual, and Ringo the fun(ny).

Apparently there's a spiritual gene scientists have discovered.
