Wut Happens When We Die

[destroyerofevil]

Hi, how r all of u ppl doing? i'm new here.

[destroyerofevil]

i really don't know and guess that we'll never find out. But my prediction is that one day the world ends and a new one starts in its place. And since we're dead, we need to look after our great great...grandchildren.

...It is interesting, though, that the more one reads the arguments for one particular or belief over another how they all seem to blur into one (or is that just me?)

Unless you are really engaged in the debate, most topics really do seem mind numbing. But if it is something that one finds interesting then not at all. I for example simply love lesbian porn, but to a guy who doesn't... ok bad example. Strike that. I for example love science, any science, any new bits of knowledge, scoop 'em right up. But there are many people who don't have an appreciation of science, couldn't care less, these people are called Americans. Now to them, knowledge of the world around them is pretty much irrelevent, as long as there's some sitcom on TV about a dufus dad, his smart wife, and their rapscalian kids, they are perfectly happy. Now give these people a six pack and a loaded firearm and they're absolutely tickled, but the lastest data on say the combined mass of the solar system, or an experimental gene therapy and it's snore city.

So is it 'just you'?, hmph, probably not...

Well, I agree that the world will eventually end, maybe not tomorrow, but I'll bet you a dollar that within 5 billion years, yup, the earth will be gone. As for a new one starting in it's place, sorry son, but your little dream world ain't gonna happen.

So long and thanks for all the fish,

I take your point. This is particularly true if you are trapped a long journey with someone who has a fascination for the codification of 1950s train timetables.

The point I was making, albeit obtusely, was that once someone gets on their evangelical high horse the actual substance of the religion does not appear to matter significantly. The general "noise" sounds the same i.e. my beliefs are superior to yours because....

Some might consider this statement to be a bit ignorant and offensive.

Fortunately, Americans are known to take the high road in dealing with such matters.

TeeHee, I know, I was just being a jerk. I know no population has a monopoly on ignorance. Although, people are stupid, persons aren&#39;t.

Of course. Duly noted. Yes, once "belief" and "faith" enters into an equation all logic and rational thought gets left by the side of the road.

what&#39;s going on here?

"~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You said it&#39;s wrong, It&#39;s your responsibility to prove it. Before it being proved, there is no right or wrong. I found this:
…………………….
Now that was good. Good point. I haven’t proven you wrong so I shouldn’t say it’s wrong, but I will say, not bloody likely. And I will say, you must stop using unproven theories of faith as evidence or as levels in a Socratic argument …although Socrates couldn’t stop so I don’t suppose you will either.
But I am glad you are talking and questioning, you are doing far better than most of the people on the planet and are at this point much further ahead from a critical thinking standpoint than most. "

haha when I looked over this topic I found I missed this and a lot of other things you {said} coz they are too long man thanks for the compliment though If I saw this I wouldn&#39;t say something against you lol.

seems a meaningless question, i suppose it will be answered in due course
