I don't know if you've read my message, but this was one of the examples I gave of why not only do I not hold Christian beliefs to be true, i do not wish them to be either.
Eternal life seems absolutely a ghastly a concept as I could think of, no matter how resplendent Heaven purports to be as a reward and incentive for good behaviour in my mortal existence.
For things never to end is far far more terrifying to me than there being nothing after death (which in fact I won't worry about as I will have no consciousness)
I think it was my objection to Mr Usmanov that started this Segway into religion
Mr Wenger this afternoon has taken the opportunity to object to Mr Usmanov, not answering any of his specific criticisms but feeling that Mr Usmanov should be taking his criticisms to him face to face rather than going to the papers.
Rightly or wrongly Mr Usmanov has been ostracised by the club and is not even offered a place on the board
I deplore Usmanov, I think in an equitable world he'd be in prison for his crimes, however he is a major investor and he has a right to make his opinions public especially as he knows its the only way his views will be seen/heard.
I question his motivations I think it's a clear attempt to ingratiate himself with frustrated fans, and if he owned the club he'd become the very thing we claim to hate.
But I am appreciative of anyone who is prepared to call out the manager on his failures
Usmanov has committed no crime that our freedom loving democracies have thought fit to persecute him for. If Tony Blair and GW are free to move around spouting BS having laid waste to thousands of lives, I will give him the benefit of the doubt.
Wenger as usual; spouts crap in response to valid criticism. He will not meet fans face to face himself but wants Usmanov to invite him to a meeting he will most likely decline. The man is long in the tooth and way past his sell by date. Who made him the custodian of Arsenal values?. Was coming 4th perpetually ever etched into the marble walls?

Cripps, Charlie and Mr Singh perhaps - but thousands of lives? Slight exaggeration there.Usmanov has committed no crime that our freedom loving democracies have thought fit to persecute him for.

This reminds me of the discussion I had in the pub with a guy who was going on about the New World Order being established by the Illuminati, my only response was that the Illuminati was formed in 1776 so they've taken a long while to get their act together.
