		<description>Dear Ms. Sherine,

I really admire what you have done. I took the liberty of having a couple of T-shirts made up with your slogan embroidered on it, which I intend to wear at our Darwin&#039;s day lunch tomorrow (we are a week or two late) Hope you dont mind as here in Canada we can&#039;t get your version of the T-shirt (the one you are wearing in the photo) I changed the colours a bit as some guys don&#039;t like pink.

If I get spaghetti or ketsup thrown at me- it will easily wash off! There are lots of Bob- like creatures here.</description>

		<description>I just had an idea to start a band that does atheist covers of the songs of !Delerious (what a twattish name, oh well it was the 90&#039;s), maybe i could call it Deluded!</description>

		<description>Bob splurged: &lt;blockquote&gt;However, there is a Hell for those who refuse the Gospel.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I think old fundie Bob is onto a winner here: as long as we don&#039;t share his delusion, he&#039;s going to continue to be a pain in the arse spouting his threatening fairy tales.

P.S.  I have to admit to having a bit of a godless crush on the very lovely Ms Sherine.  Full disclosure, and all that. ;-)</description>

		<description>Quote = Bob
February 20th, 2009 at 10:33 am

&quot;Ryan: The good news is that you donâ€™t have to end up in Hell. If you truly repent of your unbelief and accept Christ then God will be merciful to you. However, there is a Hell for those who refuse the Gospel&quot;.

Bob, as a &quot;Salad Bar Christian&quot; you should be more careful about what you promise folk. 
Not all who believe will end up in Heaven. In fact, many who thought they were Saved are now writhing in the Fiery Pits of Hell.
Doing &quot;many wonderful works&quot; won&#039;t help you either.

Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Matthew 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
Matthew 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

I hate it when false Christians start preaching to Hell-bound Heathens, promising them Salvation.
There is also a Hell waiting for those that preach a false Gospel.</description>
