Naturally predicated to belief in a diety? I disagree. Experience shapes perception first. Perception shapes experience thereafter.
Do not use the "Babies believe in God theory", either, because it fails to reconcile what God is in the thesis statement. When you pose a vague oversimplification...
I am playing Arma2 presently. More specifically, the post-apocalyptic DayZ mod.
It's *amazing*. If anyone knows a good server for the 1.7.7.4 version, I'd appreciate some suggestions. Last night I picked up three hitchhikers in my car, made two friends and saved half a dozen people from certain...
This one time, I thought and then it hit me.
How can anyone postulate the existence of an independant self? How....self-centered.
The only resolution for this cognitive dissonance is that there is no self beyond the mind. People need to stop clinging to their metaphysics. It's not science...
CPI in America:
Comparison of USD against the value of USD today.
Calculated over the last 12 years, the US dollar is worth less and has been dropping for much longer while the immediate impact of the staggered GDP has been counterbalanced by the debt of the private sector.
2000
$1.32
2001...
Solution:
Tax levy between the United States and Mexico that is split between the two countries, affords Mexicans a "working visa" and entitlement to work in the United States and pays a small portion to the Mexican authorities for every immigrant that they can prove is pulling in their pay...
The entertainment industry needs to structure such that it allows the commercial exploitation of consumers for production value. Consumers are no longer simply consumers anymore. They're also producers and they produce a SH*T LOAD of material. It is not enough for the industry to sit back...
I have no consciousness. Being conscious does not make you consciousness.
It's a bit of a red herring, because to dismiss the existence of consciousness, people assume you're dismissing being conscious. I'm not. When you're having fun, are you inherently fun? When you're happy, are you...
What a creepy "open letter". Addressing Thunderfoot as Dr. Phil is a deliberate attempt to antagonize and the improper use of the name repeatedly in nearly every paragraph is disturbing.
You ask for evidence for claims, but don't ask the claims themselves. I've watched dozens of the videos in...
Proof? There isn't even evidence, much less proof of god. Miracles always beg the question and can not be trusted as evidence for a non-physical being because they do not act as evidence of a non-physical being.
People always ascribe meaning to things they don't understand. That is instinct. It...
I believe the "solution" to piracy isn't in trying to get rid of it, but in splintering the availability of content to make obtaining content easier and more readily available to many different clients. It's time to stop defining human beings as consumers represented by dollars, but in...
Can we turn Rhysz into an internet meme?
Seems fitting that such a character with this presence online hold immortality in such a poetic legacy.
I was told a meme can not be created. That memes happen...and while it makes sense, that doesn't mean it's not something that can't be helped along...
Start a club for discussion.
You'll collect like minded individuals if you put down the right bait. In the middle of class, not the place to drop the bait, because then you have to deal with the people who don't care. Peer pressure discourages people who do want to engage doing it, so it really...
Change, in Australia?
Didn't this country ban a video game because it was violent(Manhunt), and then tell women with small tits they couldn't be porn stars because men might think they looked like kids?
Oh and in Australia, the "golden shower" porn is against the law to produce.
I'm not a fan...
What is God? What is conciousness? What is exists?
You can't define something using itself as the definition. That is circular logic. To say God is the creator of the universe you have to first establish the Universe was created. You can't simply say it was because you believe it...Oh wait...
I'm not a christian, but the original documents we know of are inconsistent, contradictory and have been proven false on a number of occasions. Throw in the nineth commandment and things get really interesting.
Given the nature of this discussion and the direction it has gone, it's ironic you'd have the audacity to call anyone slippery, Nelipot.
There is a benefit to scepticism and there's very little reason in your assumption that someone relaying their experience means that they're telling you what...
