    Happiness

    No, I was asking the somewhat rhetorical question, does happiness equate to me going around with a smile and laughing all the time? I don't think it does, if I describe someone as a "happy person", I don't mean you'll never find them with their head in their hands sobbing. It is a vague term...

    A Challenge for those who believe in a loving God

    Meh, the debate about whether caterpillars feel pain aside, I think it was a bit ghoulish of the deity to make it so that one species has to eat another in order to survive. Couldn't he have just made plants super nutritious and tasty? If I was designing a planet full of living beings I don't...

    Happiness

    I pretty much agree with all of that, there is a time to be joyous and a time to grieve in life, with an awful lot of something in between for most of it. I feel at peace with myself, I feel contented with the hand life has dealt me, if I'm not walking about with a smile on my face does that...

    How reasonable is monotheism, even hypothetically?

    Interesting take Bob, god is temporal, god learns as he goes? Definitely not popular orthodox Christianity, 21st century theists go on about god being "beyond space and time" whatever that means. You sound a bit heretical!;)

    How reasonable is monotheism, even hypothetically?

    When I was a Christian I believed there was merit in monotheism in and of itself, there is merit in "oneness" because it unifies and it simplifies, something I've learned Muslims value very highly as well since joining RF. There can essentially only be one truth about reality, whatever you...

    How reasonable is monotheism, even hypothetically?

    It would be handy if "God" could be proved to be true or false with mathematics though, think of all the arguments it would save! ;) I agree that the divine is not something for science to "prove" or "disprove" as well, I don't suppose you could tell the Discovery Institute that could you? :D

    Jehovah's Witnesses and the meaning of words

    Meh, but with my version of immortality you are forever young, so the biological clock doesn't count. Stop trying to mess with my fantasy! :D A service? You need to be more assertive with your consumer rights! Glad to hear you made it through cancer mate, so much for the argument from design. As...

    Why am I still a bigot?

    Here we go again, why does sex absorb religious people so much? I read the first two pages of the thread and then got bored, BS overload. Who cares how people have sex as long as it is between consenting adults? It really is a load of nonsense, that's my two penny's worth! Grow up religious...

    Which Pill Would You Take?

    Now you are making this thread seem almost pointless Brickster, if I get to take the blue pill every time I reach 45 years of age I'm immortal! It's a no brainer!

    Which Pill Would You Take?

    Oh now hold on, that makes sense though I don't have a complete knowledge of the stock market. Can I take all the horse racing results from 49.5 years ago with me? If so, hurrah for the blue pill! The blue pill forever!

    Which Pill Would You Take?

    I'm with @sunrise123 , I get to be five years younger and rich, hurrah for the red pill! At the age of ten I was full of boyish hopes and beliefs, I'd be robbed of those naive but happy beliefs if you inserted a middle aged brain into me then. Besides, being prematurely wise and mature is no...

    Jehovah's Witnesses and the meaning of words

    Don't go getting all religious on me! Eternal life is one thing, eternal life worshipping a deity is eternal tedium! Ever spent a couple of hours in church on a Sunday? Seriously, religion appeals to many for this reason solely, it offers something beyond the grave. I would rather deal with cold...

    Jehovah's Witnesses and the meaning of words

    Interesting question, but I've no idea how "death" would be defeated from our point of view, I'm guessing at it. I think it would amount to changing the chemistry in our bodies. It would (I think) involve ingesting something or getting injected with something. It would be definitely "mankind's...

    Hey there Walter Trull, I haven't read Richard Conn Henry's book but there are plenty of Tech Heads on the forum who no doubt have and will be happy to debate you on it! Welcome to RF!

    Jehovah's Witnesses and the meaning of words

    I can't really see much difference in a pointless finite life and a pointless infinite life, you just invent a new "distance" a new "map" to traverse and go after it. If your grandkids get the option of immortality I really want to take this life back to the vendor! Oh yes, that is the other...

    Are transgender/transsexual people accepted in your religion?

    I see, a little naughtiness is allowed then! Seriously, I am very ignorant when it comes to the Eastern Religions, your input is appreciated.

    Are transgender/transsexual people accepted in your religion?

    I see, so not physically engaging in anything taboo, rather considering it without cultural bias? Sure, I think that is a healthy exercise in getting to know yourself and understand reality better.

    Jehovah's Witnesses and the meaning of words

    I take it you mean measurement of time is man made? Time is real however we measure it correct? I agree that it is sad that some people find life boring, I find life so intrinsically engaging. I remain as curious and interested about life, about reality and about other minds, as I was when I was...

    Are transgender/transsexual people accepted in your religion?

    What does that mean in practice? To the uninitiated like me it sounds like an excuse to do something naughty!

    Insult The Poster Before You!

    Would rather use a brick to unblock a drain than a plunger (probably).
