I find that Teh-Ziod is NOT attractive for the reasons
she/he does not correct format sentences, therefore for intelligent matured members of society that may interact with her/him, may find her/him UNattractive for the reason that she/he does not comprehend with their level to successfully have a conversation therefore it will be socially an awkward interaction which may be wanted to be avoided

second i do not find it physically possible for a PERSON to be a ice cream truck.

I wouldn't use the term believe, more like hope.

I believe that maybe this is all a dream, and one day...I'll wake up (dying).

Hate to tell you, but this isn't your dream, nobody is that lucky. Life really does suck this much.

That's right. My plumage is brighter than yours.

It's impossible to say, seeing as how nobody has lived to tell. But my belief is that, if there is, it certainly won't be "you" who goes on to live that life. I don't believe that there is a "you" inside you right now. Look deep down. Meditate on it. There is no center. You have no soul. You have no fixed essence. You are an ever-changing, amorphous bag of bones and organs and beliefs, one of which is the belief that something about you is continuous.

With that said, because there is no real, eternal, essential "you" (in other words, no soul), I believe the question is flawed when you ask, "Do you believe that you will live again after death"--though I know you didn't phrase it that way. There is no "you" or "I" right now, except for our attachments to the existence of them, so they certainly can't persist into the beyond.

I had a very similar thing, only I threw a 14 story building out of a pool and hit a kid on a paper aeroplane.


The Flood is just this awesome :D

It's pretty unsettling that around 50% of the Flood do believe in it.

So far 47% of people here are idiots. When you die, you die. If life went on for eternity, it would make life meaningless. Might as well kill yourself now since you'll still somehow be alive afterwards.

You can't honestly expect to make a comment like that and not generate a flamewar.

It is not wise to search for trouble, when trouble is always searching for you.

Stop arguing over imaginary -blam!-. May as well argue over Santa Claus. There will never be proof that there is/was a god - and before people start saying "HERP DERP PROVE THERE WASN'T ONE ROFLOLOL" well, you are the people who made it up in the first place so we know there isn't one
What created the big bang then? A coalition of genetically modified TR-909s with extra distortion?

My blatant attack on your views isn't meant to be offensive, it just can only be interpreted as such.

Never say you're bored. Never say you're satisfied with the world. Never stop doubting or questioning things. Always wonder. Always think. But always take time to drop your guard, you don't have to be smart all the time.

No, and I'd rather not have some form of eternal afterlife.

I understand that it is your opinion and I'm not flaming you but why? It is probably one of the greatest things to hope for. A reason to continue on. I'm not a religious person, but daily I find myself asking why. Why continue on adhering to some form of morality? Why continue on if the same fate of nonexistence will await me 60 something years from now? I truly envy the religious sometimes. I wish there was something good for me at the end of it all.

This is ridiculous. You calling them idiots for having faith is hypocritical because you're so faithful yourself in the idea that life does not continue after death. To use an analogy, atheism is as much a position of faith as theism.

The idea that life would then become meaningless if it were eternal is also ridiculous. It presupposes that a finite life is not already meaningless and absurd. Either a finite life is meaningless and absurd, or it has some inherent, given, obvious meaning that is most likely delivered by a some deity--in which case, why would it be so idiotic to believe that life could last forever? If you keep it ahead of yourself that life, whether finite or infinite, is inherently meaningless, it makes it well worth living. You just have to bear in mind that your enterprise is absurd. See Albert Camus: suicide in the face of such absurdity is not the answer. And I wouldn't call him an idiot.

  • 12.31.2012 11:43 PM PDT

Mreh.

I don't see how it's scary or it deals with the meaning of life(Life: Noun, The condition that distinguishes animals and plants from inorganic matter, including the capacity for growth, reproduction, functional...).

OT:I don't believe in life after death, makes this life more valuable.

Yeah. It's an interesting thought, and even if I'm wrong, not like it matters then.

Yes, I can't wrap my head around why people wouldn't. That's just me


Not trying to impose any beliefs on you but people dont believe in the afterlife because there is simply no proof for it. Well no real, tangible and obvious proof.

Its not a complete no but more like a probably not. Because theres no proof for it. But again there's no proof against it existing either so the best thing to say is we dont know.

  • 01.01.2013 12:10 AM PDT

hmm

No.
