Hare Krishna

[The Grand Nudger]

You have an obligation to get old and die. Whoever, or whatever, is in charge and makes the rules, it's not you. So you can rebel as hard as you want - but ultimately we're all forced to submit to powers higher than ourselves.

I have no such obligation. You're confusing the working of a machine with obligation and duty. I have no choice but to grow old and die, but it isn't some obligation I toil under. You're assuming some one/what is in charge, why you make this assumption eludes me. Even if some one/what were in charge why, praytell, would I have any obligation towards wtf that was? Again, I have no obligation, nor is my death submission to any higher power, it's just the end of my life. For whatever reason you've invested large amounts of fantasy into this, I haven't.

I think it's awesome that you've never had a bad day, and that you get everything you want. I sincerely hope that keeps working out for you.

LOL< from "The misery of this life" to "a bad day"...oh how these claims shrink when exposed to questioning. Who's talking about bad days? Oh, I see, you just like saying things that sound pretty (to you). Yet another peddler of platitudes.

Sorry, I just have to point out that calling God a "fantasy" is, again, unfortunately not a scientific statement. It is a statement about your faith and your feelings. Not science. Just want to be clear on that.

Stop right there Mr Scientific. You're the one that introduced doubt about what science could explain. Who cares if it's a "scientific statement" after that? Surely not you, right? God remains fantasy regardless of whether or not I have faith, or my feelings on the matter. Just so we're clear.

Once again, I've never - not once - said I would prove the existence of God to you. Or anyone on this forum. That doesn't mean the existence of God hasn't been proven to me.

I suppose that's convenient for you, that you'd like to tell us all about god, but would also like to remove any obligation to support your fantasies from the word go. Do you imagine that whatever "proved god" to you would be sufficient for me? If this "provenening" occurs, do you imagine that I would become some sort of adherent by default (spoiler: I would not). I know that my neighbor exists, for example...but my home is strangely lacking altars to his Neighborliness.
