    If you were going to create a holiday, what would it be?

    It exists in Brazil. It is October 12. Children generally receive gifts from their parents on this day.

    Optimism vs. Pessimism

    We do not belong to any "body". We are just ourselves.

    Optimism vs. Pessimism

    But we are not one body. We are all individuals.

    Missouri executes a man for the 1998 killing of a woman despite her family’s calls to spare his life

    Retributive justice is best served when there is proportionality between the crime and the punishment, and the death penalty is a better match for murder than the alternative (jail time). If you don't care about retributive justice, that's simply your personal opinion. There is nothing to...

    Optimism vs. Pessimism

    It is, however, our instincts that have been driving us towards the next mass extinction. But still, I don't see the point in mixing up the future of humanity with our personal future.

    Missouri executes a man for the 1998 killing of a woman despite her family’s calls to spare his life

    That's a personal opinion. Surely it is also the case I could wrongfully spend 40 years (max jail time in Brazil) in prison. Does this mean no one should be sentenced for 40 years? How about 30, 20, 10... ? Where do you draw the line and say it is alright if an innocent is wrongfully...

    How important is “romantic” love in romantic relationships?

    Not much. That goes away quite quickly. Companionship.

    Optimism vs. Pessimism

    Then why mention technology and technology alone?

    Optimism vs. Pessimism

    You mean the pinnacle of humanity is the sum of technological developments? I don't see it this way.

    Optimism vs. Pessimism

    I am more of a pessimist. I think the opposite of what @Quintessence said. To use her words in a way that would fit my perspective (Therefore swapping around pessism with optimism): I find optimism illogical (if not factually erroneous) except in specific unusual circumstances where that...

    Hezbollah Chief Nasrallah Killed in IDF Strike

    Is that how you spell genocide?

    How popular is suicide?

    There are, roughly speaking, two groups of reasons as to why people suicide. One of them is the group of solvable problems and the other is the truly unsolvable problems. The former often only requires some money to be solved, while the latter can't be fixed by any ammount of money in the...

    Hezbollah Chief Nasrallah Killed in IDF Strike

    You mean Netanyahu must be hunted down too? He is responsible for many many more civilian deaths than Hezbollah and Hamas together, through the entire history.

    Evidence That the Absence of a God is Not Possible

    Anything that you don't cling out to due to despair (or similar feelings). Not at all. I am not equating rich people with atheism, nor theism with suffering. After all, I am not rich, but I am an atheist. What I am saying is that crappy life conditions (which are more likely to happen if you...

    Evidence That the Absence of a God is Not Possible

    You mean the Microsoft software?

    Evidence That the Absence of a God is Not Possible

    Not when they are coping mechanisms. And that's the sad part. It is like getting high to cope with life. I am not even talking about rich people per se, but rather rich countries. The average Joe in Norway is far more likely to be an atheist than the average Joe here in Brazil.

    Evidence That the Absence of a God is Not Possible

    I have no idea what you are talking about.

    Evidence That the Absence of a God is Not Possible

    I think that is actually one of the saddest part concerning human existence. Too many of us live through too many crappy experiences, and we end up feeling the need to tell ourselves stories that will keep ourselves motivated, no matter if there is actual substance to those stories, and then we...

    Evidence That the Absence of a God is Not Possible

    You are only pushing the issue further back. The physical cannot create itself from nothingness, but... nor can anything else. For starters, it doesn't even make sense to say that something created itself.
