Priminister's Question time...
1. Has there ever been a religion....
Well If we're talking in terms of certified religions, not the wierd cults or sects, then I suppose the nearest I can think of is Maybe Buddhism and Hinduism. The process of re-incarnation doesn't necessarily involve an "after"life since you're constantly being reborn in to this one, however If a hindu lives a perfect life they eventually Do believe their Atman (soul) becomes part of Brahman (god) and the same with a buddhist eventually they achieve Nirvana and become part of the transcendent (but not god) So as far as I know, thats as close as you get.
2. Would christianity still ....
Doubtless that the Roman empire did alot to spread chrisitnaity. However it was spreading before that, Paul (apostle) did loads to bring it to the further western world before he even got to Rome, and it was permeating through the Jewish culture of the time also. Maybe if it wasn't for the empire it wouldn't have got so far so fast but they were not at all the sole reason for its survival, indeed in the early years it was they who were doing most to destroy it! So i would say it helped, but without it now we'd probably just not have catholicism (whether thats good or bad, well...)
3. p=np
Is this your own version of a string theory?
4. The band.
Well officially I have no band. However, we who like to get together and jam once in a while and play the occasional "gig" At chuch events and in the local park, consist of: The beautiful and talented Rachel Fisher, normally on Keys and backing vocal, however she does sometimes sing lead, play flute, play clarinette (not so often) and now sax too. Then there's Stuart Hood, affecionately known as Stu/Stuie. he plays bass, writes songs and once tried to sing lead, he didn't try again. Then there's Dan Shirley. Our Drummer, he once walked into a library and asked to buy some drumsticks, the librarian responded "you do know this is a library?" so Dan whispered back "oh sorry, can I buy some drumsticks?" Then over the years we havehad various backing vocalists, why or where they come from I don't know, they just seem to turn up when they wish and unfortunately (no offence) sing out of tune, out of time and have little or no expression, and balme it on me when it goes wrong!!! And finally, there's me. Rhythm and lead guitar, electric and acoustic. i also for some reason unbeknownst to me get put on lead vocals : / they always make fun of hte amount of effects pedals I own, there is some truth in the fact that I use them to disguise terrible playing, but they shouldn't laugh, i'm usually the organiser of stuff too, and the one who has turned up to every practice (nobody else has) and when needed fills in for the bass, or drummer. However that leaves no guitar but hey. So thats a brief overview ofthe band. Unfortunately we have no name. any suggestions??
4. yes I do know someone who can teach you mandarin chinese, her name is sally, however she at the moment is living in china and unable to give lessons.
5. ... Belly laugh
Well firstly you need to develop a proper belly, a beer belly, therefoe you need to drink more ale!!! alternatively buy one of these: http://www.firebox.com/index.html?dir=firebox&action=product&pid=1388&src_t=cat&src_id=party
Then once you have developed a proper paunch, i think it comes naturally.

kudos to you my ex-sensai
any idea when sally will return?
not for a good few years i don't think. Sorry!
Matt is inciting alcoholism :(
no no no. You must always drink responsibly ~ahem~ not looking at anyone in particular. But if you are going to drink it may as well be a decent pint!
this is probably a dumb question which you've already answered many times, but it's vv hot and am having a day where im not thinking straight and just want to crawl into a hole and die, but are you and your'band' still playing in the summer?
well we haven't been officially booked. We do have a preliminary lineup but for a weird time on a funny date and most of the band can't make it, just me. That'll be in the college chapel but i don't expect many would attend unless it'll be at a more reasonalbe time
p=np if n=1 :P
