    Live like you were dying

    The use of "dying" always gets in my head. Most people would interpret it as "going to die soon" while I see it as "living". In my head, I've been dying since the sperm and the egg came together. Personally, I don't think I'd be too effected by it. I'd be happy to have the prior notice so I...

    Evolution & Creation: What if God made Evolution?

    It seems your sensing an emotion that isn't there. I would call the creator of evolution evil, but that's as far as I care to go. I wouldn't hate such a being, though I can't say I would feel respect or gratitude towards it either. If I were to have the power to create life, I wouldn't. There...

    Evolution & Creation: What if God made Evolution?

    No, it is simply a process. However, a creator of any such cruel process would very much be evil, imo. I consider it a function, but I can see how it might be considered a goal. I don't think I disagree with you here.

    Why do you NOT believe the Bible?

    I'll list just a few. 1. Any moral teachings found in the bible don't require the bible to present them as so. 2. All the spiritual and supernatural stuff in the bible is 10 solid steps away from what I consider logical and rational. 3. I doubt a book written about a true god would be so boring...

    Atheists don't like the idea of a laissez-faire God....

    Am I supposed to respond to your deistic beliefs, or the concept of deism itself? I assure you that I will be able to sufficiently do so for either.

    Evolution & Creation: What if God made Evolution?

    There isn't a goal, or at least it can't be demonstrated that there is one. Even if there were, our species has advanced to the point where we make our own goals and evolve ourselves via technology.

    Evolution & Creation: What if God made Evolution?

    I'm a byproduct of the process, yes. If all it were to be is a process, that's not something you can apply a blame to. However, if there was a someone or something that put the process in place... I didn't ask to be here, and I don't think the massive amount of life that was exterminated in the...

    Just curious...why don't

    It's the same debate either way, so what's the point? If we're going to debate morals, there might be something to talk about. But, as far as god(s) go/es, I'm absolutely disinterested.

    Evolution & Creation: What if God made Evolution?

    Right, and from my POV, things getting mauled to death and eaten by other things to further their survival would be a sadistic thing to create. How many species are dead now due to evolution? How many diseases were created? How many bodily defects? I feel I should accuse you of wearing rose...

    Evolution & Creation: What if God made Evolution?

    I would call it beyond sadistic to have purposefully created the process of evolution as we've observed it. For a religious person to claim their god did such a thing is of no benefit to that gods character.

    What superpower would you like to get if you had a chance? Why?

    I'm not sure where you're having trouble understanding me, but I guess that's fine.

    What superpower would you like to get if you had a chance? Why?

    I suppose "embedded" would be a better word. It's not necessarily a bad thing a lot of the time, but it is when the opinion owns you and not the other way around.

    How it makes sense to say that life is meaningless

    For most people alive, their life is almost entirely pointless and holds no weight or sway. Life is just a coming and going, and years down the road you'll just be a forgotten grave or, at best, a name left behind in some saved data bank. So, there's my answer then there's the appropriate...

    Can we really experience anything objectively?

    The concept of objective reality is similar to the concept of infinity. We can understand what these concepts mean, but are physically unable to comprehend them, nor will we likely ever be able to. As far as reality in relation to humans goes, most people try to make their own map as best they...

    Evolution & Creation: What if God made Evolution?

    Alright, if this god is all knowing and all powerful, it planted the seeds for evolution knowing exactly what was going to happen. This action transcends sadism, it is the most evil thing I've ever heard of, but that's besides the point. Whether it did something like this or not is irrelevant...

    Evolution & Creation: What if God made Evolution?

    Is this god you speak of omnipotent and omniscient?

    What superpower would you like to get if you had a chance? Why?

    To purge 90% of my childhood from my head, and to get rid of fundamentalists and hardcore bigots. Expounding on the second part, I don't mind people having their opinions and beliefs, I just am disgusted by those who integrate them into their personality. (e.g. the westboro BC members who can...

    What superpower would you like to get if you had a chance? Why?

    The ability to manipulate and erase any memories, my own and others, without limit or side effects.

    Is money enslaving us?

    I would say "sort of". It's definitely a viable method to control people. Of course! At the start, people just helped one another for survival of the species. Then, as society gained more depth, it moved up to trade and so forth. There's a possibility of getting rid of the need for money all...
