Isn't this website a lot
like a 12 yr old mocking and persecuting a little brother for believing
in Santa Claus rather than just letting the child live their life? Not a
very mature or responsible use of your energy.
That assumes I have something better to do.
I respect people's right to believe what they will but also want to
express my thoughts.
Since you know that there is no god, can you answer my other questions?
Are there any extra-terrestrials (ETs), and what systems and planets are
they located on? Or is our planet the only planet with life?
I have not seen any evidence to suggest there are
ETs but it seems kikely given the vast number of planets that could
support life.
Are they atheists as well? Are there any creatures on other planets that
believe in god as well?
What do you think? The Bible dismisses the
creation of billions of stars and planets with a few words.
If there are ETs have they really been here, and if so, why are they so
coy?
Did we come from monkeys or ETs?
I don't know that we came from either.
If we came from monkeys, how long did it take exactly to evolve from
monkeys to man? What was the exact progression before the monkeys? How
many years exactly did it take to go from whatever state we began at-
was it just like a spark that started it all? I just don't understand.
Can you help me understand? I just can't make the jump from believing
nothing to believing that nothing can turn into something. If there was
a so-called "big-bang," then what caused the big bang? No matter what
people are saying (evolution vs. intelligent design, say), there has to
be some point where something started, but how did that thing start?
It's mind boggling to me. Isn't it to you too?
While I would like to know I can't but fortunately
I don't need to know.
I don't know that evolution is true but the basic idea does seem to fit
the evidence.
Sometimes I think maybe when I die I will just become someone else who
lived on earth- maybe even someone I knew, and I will live their life
next. Then I will come back as someone else until I have lived so many
times that I have been everyone- even you. So I could say hi to myself
by saying hi to you. Then when I am done living every life there is or
ever has been, I will be god and know everything, and then I will make
my own universe with an earth just like ours and - oh wait, that would
mean that I am god and that I created everything. wow, cool. And there
is no need for vengence because everything that has ever been done TO me
was also done BY me.
But that sounds a little far fetched, right?
It does but if such a belief helps you go for it.
But you must know...
What does happen when we die- will my consciousness just cease and it
will be like I went to sleep but will never awaken?
Everything that makes you is contained in a
machine we call the brain. When all brain activity stops there will be
no you. I can't get my head around the idea of not existing but that
doesn't make me want to turn to religion.
Why do I have this need to keep living if there is nothing to gain by
being alive? If there is nothing after I die, then what should I be
living for? Pleasure? Money? What should I make for my goal for the rest
of my life?
There is no single set reason for living. You must
make your own. For some it is to make money while for those who lack
money the\ir goal is to spend what little money they have.
Help me to understand all things as you do. How did you arrive at your
present state of knowledge and understanding and wisdom?
I have not been taken in by the foolishness of
Christianity.
It's very interesting that your other interests are Radio Devices and
Scanners and Computers.
And one more question- who is the prince of the power of the air? I
thought I heard who it was once- do you know who it is?
Its a fictional character that is used by
Christianity in an attempt to excuse God's poor behaviour.
Well, cheers. I may have other questions later. I hope you can help me
answer them all as well.
Probably not the way you would like me to answer,
but feel free to add to my guest book any time.
BTW, other websites that have guestbooks just let people post to them
without having the need to make little replies to everything that is in
the content. It is possible that one can simply "agree to disagree."
Point taken.
But then I would never see the answers to my questions, would I?
No. |
