If we aren't conditioned to think our worth is based on being eternal, then people won't find it that hard to accept. You see, you are conditioned to accept the values that only religion can fulfill, it's a vicious circle.
definitely an interesting viewpoint.
that for atheists, usefulness is an instantaneous value?
I understand, but since there is no god or hell, this is a nonsensical argument.
PRECISELY THE POINT I WAS GOING AFTER WHEN I CHOSE GEOFFP.
you understand, does he?
do the rest of the einstiens who think he won this debate.. heh, who think he actually won this debate before it even started, when it's supposed to be the inverse, do
they understand?
:facepalm:
Yeah, that must be it. We’re all stupid but you. :rolleyes
well actually no, i'm sure there are many who agree with what i said but didn't have much to add so they just left.
however, those who think i don't have a point, and can't see that science produces nothing but better ways to die. are as i said either stupid, or playing stupid because they can.
Yes it was insensitive of me not to learn whatever language you were using. Unfortunately I only know English. :rolleyes
English was enough for you to read a thread before demanding stuff already mentioned in the thread.
if i was a mod and got caught with this screw up, i'll try to get low.
Uh huh, James doesn’t want to tread on my toes and lets me over-ride him. That’s very believable. :rolleyes
not over-ride him.
stop doing his shit for him.
james is supposedly responsible for cleaning this forum out of crap, there's a lot of crap, so he got some free helpers. now, if one of his helpers wronged one of the members, james can stand up for the member and risk losing the mod, and so have a shit load back on his hands, or he can squash the member under his boot for the sake of the crap the mod relives him from.
also, while kicking one mod isn't that dangerous, kicking many may if not will get him overthrown, since members come and go and mods usually just stay. so it's a bit smart to make enemies of the temporary and friends of the long lasting.
Oh, that’s right, Geoff lacked sooooo much confidence in countering your arguments. He was positively scared. <I can't use any more rolling eyes smilies which is a shame because there can't be too much rolling of eyes for your silly teenage angst.>
all you and him can do is be sarcastic and make fun of my writing composition, while my intellectual challenge for him still stands. it is very apparent he was eager to get out of the debate, we have barely gone beyond two posts and i was only one day late, yet he fled the scene not looking back. spidergoat on the other hand stood his ground and allowed me much more than one day repeatedly. if i was confident i'm gonna win in a debate, i'd like to SHOW the other side he lost, not grab a lame excuse to seal up the debate with a shallow official win.
heh, and then refuse to continue the debate in another place, now here, is where you put a rolleyes smilie
I love how the bitter personal attacks from scifes have started up.
that, is the only thing you have to say about the presented issues?
