A passenger on a British train caused a panic when he started reading verses aloud from his bible. Things really got going when he got to the verse "Death is not the end." (http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-london-41466140)
Color me amused. And happy that no one was hurt.

"Death is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. It is, perhaps, the end of the beginning."

I bet the Bible reader was butt-hurt, though.

This is what happens, when your culture is so de-christianized, that they can't tell the Bible from the Quran. Not that I would mind a professional chanting of the Quran.
Well, it's not an abnormal response to react to a religious fanatic with fear. Especially in a confined space where there are no exits. Although, rather than create such a commotion, it may have been a better choice to throw him off the train, so that everyone else could make their appointments.

I would jump off a train if a Democrat was on it, but better to just throw the Democrat off it.
Where was Hercule Poirot when you needed him?
Was this bible like one of the books from harry potter, a flesh eating version?

The Monster Book of Monsters had a mission in life. To eat trainers.

Eating a Belgian waffle perhaps. But I find that suspiciously coincidental, don't you?
When there are apparently crazy people acting out on public places, it is natural to be suspicious of their intent. And screaming biblical passages in public places these days is a reason to be concerned about intent. Religious nuts are usually the cause of insane mayhem...

Rather, it seems that HE thought they would after they were dead. Which is a real difference between Atheists and theists. THEY think we exist after death.

As a heretic, I don't consider humanity to be really alive. We are in purgatory, with a big Ducolax up our butts. Don't think reality is binary, unless you are in IT ;-)

You aren't rational either, just a pretender. I am self aware, most people believe their own marketing. I don't bother everyone, just you ... but Rick & Morty are my true loves now. Don't be too jealous.

I just put you on "ignore" as a test and it worked. Did you go to "Modify Profile" and choose the "friend/ignore" option?

The problem for me is that ignore only does half the job. There are still responses, often quoting the original text.

On this forum you're supposed to sacrifice a duck instead of a chicken. You may have missed that in the EULA.

I missed the memo. I'll try to get a duck to kill soon. Do I bite the neck directly like a cat or is a sharp knife acceptable?

Pull the head off, take your clothes off, spread the blood over your body, and then go to your local Halloween supply store and stand outside like a statue.
It'll make a great Youtube.

Use the potato to make vodka.

I see you are a man of fine tastes sir. Would you like it by the shot or a snifter? And, if you wish the whole bottle, I am advised that the prime delmonico steak is "on the house".
With everything on the potatoe. And I assure you, we make the finest crispy onion rings this side of Kansas. And THEY are worried...
And may I add, the potato was grown organically in the finest fields of Ireland.

I hesitate to ask but would you like a potato err, "mashed"?. I've heard it allows the butter to flow in better.It seems all the rage lately.

I very much regret that the chef must close down the kitchen for the night good sir. And I must retire as well. My friend has made a most delicious calzone and I have not eaten in 36 hours,,, May your head rest well this day...
Rest in peace.
