Moral Imperative, my ass!!!!!! With any luck we'll all stay here and die off. I see no sense in spreading the cancer. My only regret would be the death of the babies, animals and all the plant life. All us adult humanoids can go to hell! The lesson learned of Easter Island is not to spread the canc...

Bill, unless I've missed something, I've got to admit that it would seem that you're trying to take credit for something that, at least I'd never want to take credit for. I for one never wanted her to leave, but rather that she provide easier access to her point. I truly miss her, despite being at o...

Sob , a strange response to my posts , when they mostly talk about religions inability to produce proof , that I am an Atheist and therefore do base my beliefs on proof , and the thread title , is about sciences ability to state facts , where does my abilities come into the thread , was this a part...

What creates matter? Is matter a product of consciousness? Does the recreation of consciousness create matter. Is matter condensed consciousness? Big Bangs! Or maybe not brains, but MEM-BRANES :roll: I would say it's more like a nicklebag, but only because there's no such thing as a pennybag, of co...

They are not 'perceptions'. What do you think a perception is? What, so you don't like the plural form, yet you us the word "a." Shouldn't you have used: 'What do you think perception is?' In looking at Bills animated gif, I considered the perception of color, or lack thereof, which is du...

Well Bill, In your model I would say that individually, neither the perceptions nor the reality is altered, but would be exactly as they should be, given the drug conduit that was placed in perceptions path. In perception's case, it has an additional element that lends to its reality. And that speci...

First, I respect auks comments wether It is a man or woman. And consider and respond regardless. But indeed there is some difference in how I would come upon It in this forum. Admittedly; In thinking about it, I would be effected. I'm not sure how or why, but I would be. Probably not in the quality...

I first "crossed-over" to seriously doubting the existence of God, one night when I was on acid, back in college. Since then, I've taken the brain, I was told was given to me by my creator, and done my best to come to some sort of conclusion on the subject. SPOILER ALERT: God hasn't been ...

So you've done a survey? Just experience upon this site. Could you please post your findings, categorically, using either numbers or percentages? Here the word "needs" is merely your projection, as how could one possibly know what a stranger may "need." A Fraudian to boot! :lol:...

Wants there to be a god or ,, wants people to accept that the fantasy in his head , is real , often religious people say something like ,"thats for me and god to know" , or words to that effect ,in other words , only sob and god can know the essence and truth to his godlyness , that only ...

Godfree, You know I really love to read your presumptions, they tend to make me laugh really hard. I can feel the endorphins surging. Thanks! In other words. Stick your fingers in your ears and scrweem! Why not actually answer Godfree's questions. The idea of a creator solves no problem and answers...

<snip> But i think most people don't want to be told. <snip>. For the record, regardless of how I came off, I've always 'told' you what it was that I believed, not that you were necessarily wrong. One thing we all have to keep in mind on a daily basis is that none of us necessarily knows absolutely...

Why are some people so caught up in a need to distinguish nationalities? Because it appears to be a trait here that the Yank needs to assign gender to others thoughts? So you've done a survey? Here the word "needs" is merely your projection, as how could one possibly know what a stranger ...

And you were doing so well Lance. The reason why I've always seen you as a better man than Chaz is because you refused to go there. Sure you can be a little cheeky, but can't we all. In using his foul sense of self affirming condescension he's saying more about what he doesn't know, than he's sayin...
