The Bulletin Board of a Believer

RE: Believer ``...No God would do this but the Satan demon that roams in the hearts of men and plagues all that is noble and gracious in men ...``.

Dear Believer, now the following is a true story beyond belief: a concert featuring the Bee Gees, K.C. and the Sunshine Band and other disco stars of the `70s to mark the 20th anniversary of the seminal movie ``Saturday Night Fever`` was canceled Saturday when rainwater leaked into the Brooklyn nightclub where the movie had been shot. Now, is there anybody out there who still doesn`t believe in God?

P.S. Bad Girl who lives in Nu Yok City confirmed it via psychic telepathy :)-

RE: Believer ``... I feel there is a God and that there will be Justice. Scripture tells me that the weak shall inherit the Earth. I feel it must be so, for anything less will negate the Ultimate justice of God. I know that my fear of God is justified ...``.

You betcha, Believer. The following is a true story ... EVEN if you get a little lost, BELIEVER, read to the end, in order for you to become a True Believer ...

A thermodynamics professor at MIT (Omair`s alma mater) had written a take-home exam for his graduate students. It had only one and only one question: Is hell exothermic or endothermic? Support your answer with a proof.

(For those of us who were not fortunate enough to attend MIT, exothermic is when something releases heat and endothermic is when something generates heat).

Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle`s Law or some variant. One student, however, wrote the following:

First, let`s postulate that if souls exist, they must have some mass. If they do, then a mole of souls can also have a mass. So, at what rate are souls moving into hell and at what rate are souls leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for souls entering hell, let`s look at the different religions that exist in the world today.

Some of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to hell. Since there are more than one of these religions and people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all people and all souls go to hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in hell to increase exponentially.

Now, let`s look at the rate of change in volume in hell. Boyle`s Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in hell to stay the same, the ratio of the mass of souls and volume needs to stay constant.

#1 - So, if hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter hell, then the temperature and pressure in hell will increase until all hell breaks loose.

#2 - Of course, if hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until hell freezes over.

So which is it? If we accept the postulate given to me by one White House intern named Monica Lewinsky and take into account the improbable fact that I still have not succeeded in having a romantic relationship with her, then #2 cannot be true, and hell is exothermic.

Believer, you won`t believe this but THAT student got an A :)-

there is no such thing as absolute truth. including this one
