I'd rather have 6 arms. Perhaps if I had superior interllect, I could generically engineer myself some!

Don't mean to be a fussy pot, Loomis, but I think it would be a good idea to edit that a bit to say that some Christians are thick and ordinary...Loomis wrote: I stand by my original comment that this whole thing smacks of Christianity.

I don't think any of those choices really suit me well.
A - Too materialistic and worldly for my outlook on life
B - I'm not really a people person, and though I do want a family, I don't need them to be perfect. They should be eccentric and poorly-adjusted just like me.
C - My current level of intelligence is fine with me (not on a Shakespearian or Einsteinian level, however). There are some things you don't want answers to. I think it would be depressing to have ultimate knowledge.
D - I'm also fine with my looks and charisma.
So, in conclusion, I would just like to live a stress-free, content life. Specifically, to be able to pursue my artistic goals and be around people I love.

Cool! I pick that one.Lady wrote:Hmm. . . now I know what would make a great option (E): Satisfaction and Contentment
I don't have a problem with your non-pc comment, but being Christian myself, I think it's funny that we can all be lumped together as thick and ordinary, yet still be strongly divided in what we believe.Loomis wrote:I've said far worse about Christians on this site, so I'm not backing down now, Fussy Pot
And that is my basic problem with Christianity.

Assume that you can go through this life time with only one of the above (realizing that most people never achieve any of the above). Basically ask yourself which has the biggest priority for you.
