What is the true purpose of our life here on Earth?

[MEL555]

YES

 

the search is misery

 

the question about NOTHING

is misery

thought/self fears death.

That's a generalization. I actually am looking forward to, and embrace death. It's a natural and mandatory part of life that will end all physical suffering.

 

thought invents religion, purpose.....becomes a business.....

Becomes a business?

 

That word God is too loaded. It really means "the good one"

 

That word satan is too loaded. It really means "the liar"

Where did you get these from? Are those just what they mean to you?

 

JC used these words. Too bad.

JC was not an xtian or orthodox Jew.

Would it kill you to type out Christian? Sheesh...

 

Why is it too bad?

 

Also, an agnostic is just a person who says they dont know...an mean it.

Basically... Yes.

i look at the good one, i dont know what i am looking at.

[REMOVE=culture] [iNSERT=science] [/REMOVE] [/iNSERT]

 

Just practicing my skillz ;). Someday I WILL be l33t ;).

 

In non-"leet" speak,

It was science, not culture that put questions into my mind. Although now I suppose you'll try to argue that science was instilled upon me by our culture, have fun.

 

Operative word in that sentence was "try" ;).

Don't spaz out now, I've still got the site opened in a different window, I'm checking it out.

 

You have still failed to answer nearly all of my questions though. You have merely answered them with more questions. This is not a socratic discussion, I would prefer direct answers.

If there was only repeating then I doubt man would have ever made the wheel, I doubt people would have ever thought of religion, I doubt that if people did create religion they would have ever questioned it...

 

There is no repeating...

 

The rest is just statistics...

[Dark Mind]

I could use some help myself.... so tired.... endless debate....

 

C1ay!!! ;).

One cannot base one's conduct on the idea that everything is determined, because one does not know what has been determined. Instead, one has to adopt the effective theory that one has free will and that one is responsible for one's actions.

--Stephen Hawking, 1990

 

 

genious

;)

 

Also, we are responsable for the human condition.

 

Finger pointing is OUT.

[Dark Mind]

You too?

 

Good night. We'll pick it up tomorrow ;). Try to answer my questions with answers and not further questions ;).

[Dark Mind]

I'm going to need some positive rep to keep me motivated for putting up with this kind of member ;). Maybe we should start a Socratic Method Forum and watch the debates go 'round and 'round ;).

Yeah, he got that a lot ;). My physics teacher actually had the privelege to meet him when he gave a seminar in... Greece? I don't know, somewhere over seas...

He said Mr. Hawking was very arrogant about his brilliance. I think rightfully so, it's the only thing he's got goin' for him ;). My teacher thought otherwise ;). ;)

Finger pointing is OUT.

If that were true I think we'd know the human purpose... those two seem to go hand in hand in my sleep deprived mind right now ;).

 

When was I pointing fingers?

[C1ay]

sounds like a bunch of faith going on here to me. Maybe this conversation belongs in the religion forum.
