it makes so much sense. "Hey fucko" is only one letter removed from effectronica's "hey bucko", even (Did effectronica get 30 day probated again or something? I haven't seen it posting lately). Brainiac Five posted:Well, it's too bad that all these things are predetermined, then. Else I might be liable for being a strident hysterical bitch. You don't get determinism. If life is a lottery and you draw numbers, it doesn't matter to you whether the winning numbers were determined before or after everyone has drawn.

Who What Now posted:No one here has been ruder than yourself. Well its hard to keep a straight face when being called a child. Being told I must be using it as a crutch. That I must be like the Nazis. It was wrong for me to observe that you are being rude. Liberal_L33t posted:because they were more intelligent & vastly morally superior (by modern standards, i.e. the only standards that matter) to the unimaginative peasants who were the majority then. and they threatened the petty tyrants who wanted to use Rome's corrupt pyramid scheme of a religious system to line their own pockets and perpetuate a religious life of ritual and patriarchy instead of individualism and transgressive mysticism. The rest we cannot be certain being that they never had popularity so most of their texts are lost to history. Mostly not from persecution. But because most texts that people have no reason to consider important would be reused. On why the Niceans didn't turn Rome into a liberal democracy. They didn't because such concept didn't exist. Also if you bring up Athens. Athens killed people for introducing new Gods. So it certainly wasn't this beacon of tolerance, and the Romans as their persecution of Christians and general supsiciousness of Mystery religions showed were themselves not the beacons of tolerance that Edward Gibbon would like us all to believe. Finally I would like us to not turn into either religious or secular crusaders in eternal war with the Muslims. Also I'll fallow the teachings of the actual creator and not instead tell people that if they don't see as I do they are dirt. Likewise as I made clear all can be saved. Even in Hell. How is that not acceptable? Unless people just don't liek to admit to being wrong. But then we could all do well to be not so prideful. Also being that the New Covenant supercedes Leviticus why does this matter? I mean considering your advocacy of eternal war on Islam I find it hard for you to condemn anyone for genocide. Finally as the old saying goes. You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make it drink.

The first lifetime they didn't and in fact they were subject to persecution from another sect of Christians, the Arians, and the strange platonist monotheistic paganism that Julian pushed . Now I personally think they shouldn't have done so.But I doubt the movement of Arianus would have done so well with out Imperial support. Similarly I doubt the Iconoclasts would have gone anywhere without imperial support. blowfish posted:Hmmm. A person overly identifying with their unfounded belief in something. Unprecedented.

If there is some evolutionary advantage to cognition that can have 'numinous' fugues, a sense of external oversight and judgement - doesn't that suggest anywhere the chemical reaction of life gets complex enough, similar minds could emerge.

Or besides the computer option people imagine having the money for medical means of extended life. But what are the ethics of that? It is possible that global healthcare disparities will be such that the rich and the poor will become separate species - kind of like good, old HG Wells. I would imagine the people who just get bandaids and flu shots will stay homo sapiens - while people with access to lifespan and fertility treatments, IVF, and emerging genetics techniques will be able to make GATTACA progeny who will diverge.

If you assume that everyone who's an atheist believes that "mild" child molestation is better than growing up religious, then everyone can agree that you're an rear end in a top hat. But if you assume that everyone who's religious believes in some genocidal maniac and follows this being, you're simply telling truth to power, because the raw words of the Bible are more authoritative than anything else, if you're an atheist.
