2018-01-11 at 2:34 AM UTC in Do rainbows exist objectively?
Originally posted by Open Your Mind Yeah ok, I guess you're right. Still, there is a difference between measuring and describing the activity in a persons brain, and actually having that persons conscious experience.
A hard-line physicalist would disagree, but I do happen to agree with that. But if I understand where this is going then we come back to the point of saying "look a rainbow!" does not have the same meaning as "I am having the experience of viewing a rainbow" as the former seems to pick out something in the world and the latter attempts to communicate an internal state. -

When the curtain comes down and the hero and the villain step out hand in hand, the audience applauds both, because they know that the hero role and the villain role are only masks.
There's just a relative manifestation of consciousness appearing, and then given a bunch of ideas like a name, a religion, a nationality, and he clustered those together into something that is supposed to be a personality, but when closely examined we discover that none of that stuff is actually real.
What's going on right now is people are asking themselves "Who am I?" and they become depressed because they keep trying to hold up this image to the world, show the world how successful they are and how much better they are, and that's what depression is, when someone is trying to be the Wizard of Oz instead of the sweaty guy behind the curtain. Oz is just a character. People are trying to "be someone" for the world.
So behind the scene, under the surface, that is to say "in reality" we are all the actor. You are not the you that you think you are.
damn plagiarist

How so? Trolling and lying has been a pretty open part of my character on these boards. But when I'm sincere, I'm sincere.However, I would like to say that Obbe doesn't really exist. Obbe has never existed. Obbe is just an act, a role that is being played.
You just plagiarized from Jim Carrey, word for word. -

Originally posted by Open Your Mind I still don't understand why a hooker is getting dropped off at your house. Do you live with her pimp, or is your house a trap house, or what? I need the whole story.
I know her from high school. She occasionally buys meth off of me(still does) and one night she was with a john and asked if I could pick her up in the middle of (my hometown) I told her just to have him drop her off here and we been kickin' it ever since. -

Why would there be any atheists at all if God was all-controlling? He CLEARLY wants you to believe in him.
Then we have fun bits like this, about the devil wranglin' control from God
"Correcting his opponents with gentleness, God may perhaps grand them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth, and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil after being captured by him to do his will" -Timothy 2:25
I honestly don't know what I'm doing I'm just quoting shit from a site. But you read this far ey?
That’s just another example of how the Christian bible is full of logical fallacies and inconsistencies. I only quoted one passage to illustrate my point, but the point still stands regardless of the context of which particular religion we’re talking about.
And that point was that if there is a god that is both all-powerful and all-knowing then, yes, it is also all-controlling.
If god created the universe in such a way that he knows everything that will happen in the future then that means every thought you’ve ever had, every decision made, and everything you’ve ever done, was designed by god before you were born. How can that possibly be called free will?
Think about it, free will means you have the power of choice. And a choice can be defined as how you as an individual decide to react in a given situation. You can agree that an individual with a different personality than you, or with different motivations, or with more or less information than you, may react differently in a given situation than you would right? That’s what free will means.
But what makes an individual? An all-powerful god designed your DNA, the environment you were raised in, all the people you’ve ever interacted with, all your experiences - in essence, all the information that shapes who you are as an individual, basically your entire concept of “self”. In other words, individuality is meaningless because God decided who you are as an individual, not you.
If you disagree with anything I’ve said so far then you are saying that either god did not personally design and create everything in existence (not all-powerful), or that god can be surprised at a choice someone makes (not all-knowing). -
2018-01-02 at 9:31 AM UTC in Fags shouldn't raise children
Originally posted by D4NG0 Oh please. Regardless of whether you believe in God or not, there's nothing wrong with the Christian way of life. Likening it to a cult is ridiculous.
Do you believe in the mystical powers of a charismatic figure? Yes.
Is there a body of people who mediate your relationship with this figure which tries to extract money from you? Yes.
Do you routinely attend some sort of ceremony to educate you on what views you should hold and what you should do? Yup.
Sounds like a cult to meHomosexuals are deviant
Going to have to make an argument for why deviants a priori unfit parents before this becomes relevant.even by evolutionary standards.
"deviant" doesn't mean anything in evolutionary biology and that's a naturalistic fallacy.Allowing them to have children normalizes perverse behavior
You only think it's perverse because you're in a cult. It's your cult is perverse.
But you know that right? Like you know I don't think homosexuality is morally wrong, so why are you trying to make the argument "homosexuals adopting children is wrong because their sexual choices are morally wrong"? Like are you trying to make an argument or are you just trying to articulate your opinion for some reason? If it's the prior, you're going to have to start from some premise we agree on, which "fags are evils" is not. -
2018-01-02 at 4:34 AM UTC in Fags shouldn't raise childrenI don't hate Christians. I just think being raised by homosexuals (people who have a certain aesthetic preference) is less damaging to a child than being told a bag of lies are absolute truth and that they'll be punished with literally unending suffering if they don't conform to a ambiguous, arbitrary, and undemocratic moral code with zero justification.
I don't think people should be stopped from joining cults. I think parents should be stopped from enrolling their children in cults. -
2018-01-01 at 2:17 PM UTC in I denied God today.
Originally posted by 哈哈你看不懂中文 You can believe in God's plan and still believe in free will. Why would you think you can't?
My argument is based on two assumptions about the deity.
1. The deity is all-powerful
2. The deity is all-knowing
If you believe in a god that fits these 2 criteria then you have no free will. If there is a being that created everything in existence and knows everything that will happen in the future, then that being is the architect of every “choice” you ever made and will make. The being created you and set you on a path that cannot be deviated from (aka “god’s plan”). Starting when you are born up until you die, you do not have any choice in what happens because the decisions have already been made by god before you even existed.
Here’s one example, in the Christian bible it is stated:
“Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me. Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, my counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure: Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it. (Isaiah 46:9-11)” -

Originally posted by Something Squirrel I think that's plenty of reason to never worry, if God loves you enough to create you in his image then you should trust his plan for your life as well.
God isn't responsible for suffering, we are.
The two statements that god has a plan, and that he isn’t responsible for suffering, are mutually exclusive. You fucking moron.
If you believe in an all-powerful, all-knowing god, then you have no free will. You are just a vehicle with god at the wheel 24/7. You are nothing. -

But it's a stupid question brewed up to make you feel better about feeling sad. The reality is that neither happiness nor intelligence are meaningfully quantifiable so there is no objective answer to be had. Just self-satisfaction. -
2017-12-22 at 11:08 PM UTC in I'm pregnant againI couldn’t decide on a specific thing to quote, so I’ll just leave a couple thoughts here.
hydro, you’re being pathetic. Coming here and bragging about how much money you make trying to justify your line of work. Not only that, but you’re using that to say how much better you are than everyone.
Fox Paws mentioned that he thinks doctors and lawyers make between. $100k - $150k. I would think that’s on the low end. I make more than that and I’m not even a doctor or lawyer. The difference is I don’t come here and try to rub it in everyone’s face like you are, which is fitting since you’re used to rubbing things in people’s faces by now. I haven’t reached the peak of my earning potential either. For you, every day is your peak. Every day you are older, dirtier, nastier, and looser than the day before. Eventually you will dry up, and then what? I bet you haven’t been investing for your future, so are just going to find a sugar daddy to cling to? -

Originally posted by Open Your Mind Has your family asked where you have been and why you left? What did you tell them?
Did you recover your stuff the landlord threw out? Why did he throw out your stuff?
Why did those people want to attack you?
I still don't really understand how you went from living in your own place with government assistance to having to leave your place, lose all your stuff and moving back in with family. What happened? Can you write up a summary?
Not really, he asked surprisingly few questions. It really affected them more than I expected, they really did try looking for me and had me on their minds, or at least pops did. I didn't say much because I'm autistic and have great difficulty conversing after a lifetime of silence and isolating myself. I did tell him I was diagnosed as autistic, along with having psychological problems, and he seems to have accepted that as an excuse for...a great of things that are wrong with me and my life.
Nope, lost everything except my laptop and the clothes I was wearing, along with some cards (debit, ID). Trying to get her to compensate me, I lost about 4K worth of stuff, because I'm pretty sure what she did was illegal, especially if she just threw my firearms in the trash (Lost a nice AR-15 and a CZ something). I did tell her I'd report what she did to the police and pushed the illegality of the firearms issue, so we'll see how it goes. I don't really need the money and nearly everything is replaceable, I really didn't use most things I lost, but I still deserve it (legally) because she had no good reason to do so, she could have at least stacked the most valuable things in the garage in bags or boxes, it would have taken no more effort than throwing them out.
I don't know why they attacked me, it would have been dangerous to ask. I did try to talk about what happened, but they may not have been home and I didn't try again after little effort. He may have just been a violent psychopath.
I'm not sure if I mentioned it, but I did go the psych ward and the way they treated me felt incredibly abusive. It was a fucked up experience. I was afraid of getting killed or seriously injured after I called 911 on them 2 days later because I caught the guy that called someone over the first time on the phone again telling someone to tell me not to run this time. I didn't know what they were planning and didn't want to take that chance. Anyway, I had nowhere to go and didn't have a working smartphone, knew no one I could ask for help, so I checked myself into the hospital and told them I was having thoughts of suicide. The abusive experience at the psych ward along with what happened completely freaked me out so when I managed to talk my way into being released and given a taxi ride to the BART (train) I didn't go through with what I had planned with the mental health workers I had spoken to, going to LA to search for my family, which would have been a terrible idea anyway. The police spoke to me at the station and I was taken back under a diagnosis of psychosis, stayed there for around 9-11 days, which was boring as hell, only made things worse, and the dose of risperidone they gave me made me delirious, which is the exact opposite of what it's generally prescribed for, those incompetent fucks.
Oh, after that I was sent to a mental health crisis housing place, which was pretty laidback and alright, but we weren't allowed to leave without staff, later learned landlord was sending messages to the wrong number, didn't get a ride in time, so that's how she ended up throwing everything away. My lease had already ended because she had recently gotten divorced and was planning to move back in. She did message me on my google voice number, which I still had access to and told me let her know when I'd pick up my things, but after that she must have been sending messages to my cell phone number, which I didn't have access to.
The details of everything really aren't that interesting. It was an unfortunate series of events.
