Dear crazy:

I did disprove your mathematical "proof" by showing that a simple substitution of theism (belief in a deity or some sort) in the place of a-theism (anti-belief in a deity) produces the same result, meaning the "proof" is flawed.

And actually, time is NOT moving. It is simply our perception of it. Quantum theory says that time is rather like a sliced loaf of bread, infinitely long. This exact "now" is one slice. My perception happens to only travel in one direction on the loaf, but that doesn't mean the other slices don't exist. All time exists at the *same* time so by quantum theory, we actually live forever because those "nows" keep happening. This in turn could be an interesting example of explanations for deja vu where you actually affect something. For example, back in highschool a friend bought a letter opener and goblet and brought the un-opened box to school. She opened it at lunch time and right on the top of the packaging peanuts was the letter opener and next to it was the goblet. There was still a good 5 or 6 inches of packaging peanuts in the box. I got a strong sense of deja vu, turned to her and said "Where's the second letter opener?" and she insisted she had bought only one. She went to go chuck the box out and I convinced her to humor me and once she dug all the packaging out, there along the side, flush to the bottom, was a second little letter opener. The feeling of Deja Vu probably lasted a good 5 minutes and could be explained as my perception jumping forward a few "slices" and then back, which means my perception traveled back again so I have now disproven your thing about time as well.

You read this entire thread? Maybe some threads are like eating potato chips, you know it's not good for you but you can't stop yourself.

I had that feeling when I first saw this thread yesterday... I just couldn't help myself coming back and posting in it....
 
After 16 pages we've proved nothing except possibly god lives in Florida (or so he thinks) and time consists of water, flour, sugar and yeast.:roflmao:

If you're referencing the Rick-roll, then no, I didn't miss it.

I tell you what sucks besides death...You can't do a decent Rick-roll anymore, thanks to the new place it's hosted that makes you watch an ad first. That's why I had to go with a re-mix to still have some semblance of surprise.

And I've always considered you to be a friend. I've recently had to re-evaluate my place in the universe. Your r-r attempt has left me shaken... ;)

Grow up, believers. Death sucks.

Yay, now I can use some more fuzzy math logic. ;)

According to Dean, death sucks. Therefore death = sucks
I think we can all agree that death is essentially a part of life, what lives is going to die. Therefore life = death.
If death = sucks and life = death, then life = sucks too. After all, it sucks to be born just so you can die.

If that somehow doesn't equate right for you. Then we can also assume that life = sucks for those on this planet that live in hostile environments, like uh, those affiliated with al-qaeda who live a life of hatred and violence amidst a hostile land. Life for them more than likely sucks (at least how us Westerners would view it). But, if they die, hopefully becoming a martyr, then they get to reside in heaven with 72 virgins which they think will bring them peace and happiness. Therefore in their eyes death ≠ suck. Why else would so many be willing to blow themselves up for the sake of martydom?

The truth is, we all will eventually know if death is a doorway or a wall. Regardless, I just want to make the most of my time here until that day comes. :)

And for CrazyDave, for all of your folly in trying to equate the existance of (a) god, you have forgotten one most important thing. If (a) god wanted it's existence known to everybody, we most assuredly would have that knowledge. The fact is, if there is a supreme entity, they want to keep their existence unknown until whatever time suits them. That's why when the motherships appear in 2012, I'll be ready to embrace our new reptilian overlords. ;)
 
No omniscient, omnipotent, OMNIBENEVOLENT god should make us squirm in doubt about our futures... Unless we've got him all wrong. Think.
 
Dean-0 did you see the thread where Nanci started talking about kinky sex? Change my whole value system.
