quote:An embryo is not a conscious person: It is merely a germ of life, as is sperm. Abortion is not granting life, not ending life. It is as much a crime as not reproducing. I've said this many times before, but no-one ever considers my words. Lord of Evil: The idea of condemning someone who does not agree with your philosophy to death is very senseless.

My laconic condolences. quote:Because they know that the death of a family member who barely ever spoke them is not painful. quote:I disagree. I experienced the death of my demented grandmother, who never spoke a coherent sentence to me, but I never felt umbrageous because of her death.

quote:That's paradoxal, as I explained. quote:Something can't be both perfect and boring. It is only extremely hard to imagine it. quote:So those who possess a large amount of wealth have no empathy? Bill Gates shares a considerable amount of his money with the world. How much would you try to reduce the suffering in the world, if you were more conscious of the fact that every moment, literally infinite beings suffer, while your God can cease it instantly? quote]Originally written by 4808 Also for this reason, people are never satisfied with what they have and always want something more, because if you're used to having this level of living "handed to you on a silver platter," to gain that same kind of surprise and achievement, you need more and more. Kind of like a tobacco addiction. [/quote]And there is an endless amount of metaphoric tabacco. Posts: 356 | Registered: Tuesday, April 6 2004 07:00 |

quote:If God is omnipotent, why does he not eliminate the devil? quote:That is irrelevant. The suffering happening to God's creations is purposeless, anyhow. quote:If that was the case, I would not even point out that my argument was ignored. If there was no suffering, compassion would not be necessary. Also, you cannot learn to empathize others. quote:Hope. quote:Psychopats are born without empathy. quote:I sincerely apologize for my arrogance, but I cannot tolerate that you discriminate homosexuals with such nonsensical excuse. As a side note, a member of my family is a homosexual. quote:You might not be aware, but something which is proved to be wrong cannot be valid. quote:If the devil can simulate to be God, as you postulate, than how can you be so certain the author of the Bible was spiritually inspired? He could also have been inspired by the devil, or simply by himself. The latter statement, obviously, is the most logical one. quote:This is not even an argument. I will retain my viewpoint that faith can impossibly be rationally explained. Faith is an intuitive perspective, unconsciously used as a source of naive hope.

We might be doing soon. If the atmosphere of Mars was more densely polluted, the days there would be less warm, and the nights there would be less cold. Also, analyzations have indicated that there is ice under the surface of the planet. Posts: 356 | Registered: Tuesday, April 6 2004 07:00 |

quote:I did not say that. I said that your God created sinners intentionally and consciously, according to your religion. I also do not believe in heaven or hell, so that is completely irrelevant. Believing that God is both omnipotent and merciful, in my opinion, is a paradoxal religious view. quote:What you feel is simply faith, not the will of God. quote:A worthy effort to riposte my words. quote:Nearly. If there is a God, which I see as impossible, then He either decides to remain silent or constantly lies. It's striking how much of His own laws God breaks. quote:How much do God's children suffer before they finally die? quote:If you are so stubborn and ignoring, I will stop arguing about this. quote:You have no proof that this "peculiar sensation" is not just a simple psychological phenomenon. If God exists, your claim is not necessarily correct. quote:Then why is a ceremonial burial so melancholic? quote:If you ask me to regard the subject as a religious person, my answer is yes. However, the fact that God creates murderers does not mean that they do not need to be imprisoned for our safety. quote:Do homosexuals disadvantage you in any way, short-sighted idiot? Discrimination is illegal. You should be cautious. quote:Again, your using an argument which we proved to be invalid. quote:And again, the Bible is used as the "proof" for this statement. quote:God does not simply allow suffering to happen: He is the cause of it. quote:Oops. I accidentally committed genocide. quote:This is paradoxal. quote:If God didn't want people to be sadistic, cruel and sinful, as it says in the Bible, he wouldn't create them.

quote:In other words: You have no sensical explanation. quote:The inquisitors did not know the will of their God. You do not either. quote:Your God is and remains silent. He does not speak to you, and did not speak to the writers of the Bible. quote:Which proves that He is a tyrant. As I said, your God is said to be responsible for every event in the universe. Of course, you possibly do not strictly believe every aspect of your religion. If that is the case, your God is simply negligent. quote:You're correct. I admit that that was a foolish argument. quote:No, but a father who murders his innocent child is certainly cruel. quote:You said: "God may not always intervene", meaning that He cannot. quote:You are repeating the same argument. quote:Your God does not interact with you, in any way. You are simply speaking to yourself. quote:Terri Schiavo died decennia ago. Compassion for the suffering would not be necessary, if there was no misery. quote:No, but only because I do not believe in God.

quote:Do you have any explanation for this conviction? quote:The inquisitors believed to know the cruel will of God: Genocide, torment and suffering. quote:You cannot fathom death. Claiming to know wether or not there is a postmortem realm with complete indubitableness is very haughty. The suffering of the dead has probably ceased, indeed. We do not need to empathize them, but those who are currently suffering on this world. quote:This contradicts that God is omnipotent, which is very paradoxal. quote: quote:The inquisitors did not share your opinion. quote:You illustrate God as a very conservative and egocentric Shaper, creating, tormenting and absorbing its creations. quote:The suffering happening to us proves that either God is not omnipotent or is very cruel and sadistic. quote:This statement also contradicts that God is omnipotent. quote:Why must we learn? If he is so powerful, he can simply write the information in our minds. quote:It would simply no longer be necessary. quote:If this is supposed to be an argument, it is very poor. quote:The tales in the Bible are meant to be interpreted as metaphors.

quote:I agree. The stories of Geneforge 1, 2 and 3 are too similar. quote:In my opinion, the graphics of the environment, indeed, greatly improved. The desert no longer looks like a toxic wasteland, and the new tilesets have a very good style. quote:The dialogue choices irritated me as well. I could not even discuss with Litalia about her moral issues. I didn't have the option to attempt to convince her how senseless and unnecessary the war was. The Shapers certainly astoundingly mistreat their creations, but Litalia intends to sacrifice many hundreds of millions of lives to achieve her goals, and uses Skill Canisters, which poison and corrupt the mind.

Please forgive me if I sounded arrogant. Arrogance is my most irritating social defection, but it is far more frustrating to me than to anyone else. Energy can be converted into other forms of energy, but can never be destroyed. If matter combusts (as a side note, the process of combustion is chemical energy), it is converted into warmth-energy and light-energy. Posts: 356 | Registered: Tuesday, April 6 2004 07:00 |

quote:I strongly doubt that intense pollution will be our end. Soon, the main energy source will be nuclear fusion, which does not cause any pollution. The theory of nuclear fusion is correct and simple, and it won't take too many years until we can finally control this power source. The proof that nuclear fusion is a very sufficient power source is that the hydrogen of the stars depletes after many billions of years. quote:Pollution, I believe, is not the main cause of the global warming. Notwithstanding, the global warming may still be dangerous, of course. However, the results will improbably be apocalyptic. I would also like to note that the increase of the sea level is not directly the result of the global warming: It is mainly the result of the thicker atmosphere, which prevents photons from reaching the surface of the oceans and evaporating the water. I wonder why the destiny of humanity in far future should concern us. quote:Not necessary. If a gargantuan meteor threatens us, we can attempt to annihilate it. quote:Perhaps it is somewhat simplistic to claim this with so much certainty? You ignored the fact that energy can't be annihilated or created. Bad-Ass Mother Custer, you seem very confident that humanity is superior and genius. But do you realize that the extremely small number of people who have the intelligence to invent something revolutionary require decennia of study and experience to do so?
