  1. Oh yeah. Instead we should just let you say what ever you want and sing kumbaya around a fire eh? And if we dare challenge something, then were immediately anti science freaks bent on destroying the world in the sadistic way of un education. And should we actually prove a lie you were saying, then its just something that some nutjob was saying and got lucky. All the time if we do just stand around a fire singing, then we're ignoring you because we "know" we're wrong. We do one thing wrong and you hold us up to a standard 10x higher then the normal person, and if we don't meet that standard? Then we're liars and thrives, and enjoy nothing better then to attack you. So what would you have us do? "Fight back"? Just ignore you? Nothing we do will ever be good enough. Your only goal is trying to tell people they're wrong about religion. So I have questions for you.

     

    What's your purpose in life? Is it to do what I mentioned? Is it perhaps to better the world? What's your thoughts on things above your understanding? Are they simply not real? Miracles that are impossible to dismiss, what do you say about them? If you find religion so painfully obviously wrong, why do you bother to tell people about it? What is it that you'll never be content until you've done so? Were you there 2 million years ago, that you can so accurately without a shadow of a dout, tell me exactly what was happening? Are there no holes in your theory of evolution? Is it a perfect theory that you wouldn't ever imagine that there could be imperfections in it?

     

    Were you the brilliant mind who advances science? Or are you the mind that uses it to simply prove your smarter and better then everyone else?

     

    There's holes in science, and there's holes in religion. You'll just have to accept that.

    I gave you my counter argument. Your basing me being wrong on the findings of someone I proved in accurate. 6000 years is false, accept that. There's proof if you would just open your eyes. Look at my post and any fool can see that I presented an argument that you choose to ignore.

    I apologize for offending you, I was referring to the more extreme religious ones, not just people who are religious. I made a bad assumption that we were all talking about the extreme ones.

  2. I believe it is unethical because innocents get caught in the middle, and even though I would want the chair just to stop living a miserable existence in prison, there are people who would not want it.

     

    Maybe they need to rethink this whole putting prisoner to death system to be more voluntary, to be seen as more humane. If your in for a life sentence then it would only save resources if people were given the opportunity to volunteer for assisted suicide. However, there would have to be restrictions so everyone doesn't do it like a minimum amount of years in or age like you have to be 50 to volunteer. However, this would no longer be a penalty or punishment.

     

    In conclusion, I think it should be restructured to be more voluntary as in its current state it is completely unethical.

  3. "BREAKING - Turkeys top judicial body HSYK lays off 2,745 judges after extraordinary meeting"

    (That's 40% from all 7000)

     

    What judges had to do with the coup???

    Looks like with 40% of the judges laid off, more injustice will be done, at least I imagine as they would have to rush through cases to get them done. Which in the end, probably gives Erdogan an advantage in silencing others.

  4. A manifestation of our ego. Our desires, wants. We create this God in our heads who is this perfect and powerful person, something which humans crave to some extent. We imagine a perfect paradise with no problems or flaws, which we are flawed and face troubles throughout life. Basically, a blanket for our flaws and insecurities.

     

    Don't get me wrong, its possible there is a god, but if there was we obviously have had no contact as there is no proof we have. I hope there is a god, as it would suck to just stop existing. But I believe I only prove my own point in the end.

     

    Honestly, I try to stay away from religion and just live life.

  5.  

    Let me know what you think? Do you think that human life really matters in the big picture? What do you think the purpose of life is? Is there really a purpose?

     

    Human life only matters through our influences in the environment around us. We influence life on Earth with our contributions to climate change, whether this is through lack of regulation or the fact we are dealing with overpopulation (etc.) [Climate change is not our only influence in the environment though. Fighting diseases, efforts to keep species from going extinct, etc] In a sense, we only matter to other life, without other life, we would not matter at all, but without other life, we would not exist. We mattered to the West African black rhinoceros, as we affected its very existence to the point of extinction.

     

    The purpose of life is to reproduce and die, according to my environmental science teacher some years ago. On a more philosophical level, we have to create our own purpose in life. An example would be if someone desired their purpose in life to be helping others, so they make it their purpose through efforts to help others.
