Sort of a complicated question, I'll try to ask. How was I born me and not another?

You have alot to say about critical thought.  Perhaps you should try to use some regarding the subject of this thread?  Imagining that you could have been a rock, or that babies come from hamburgers, or that if you hadn't been born you'd have remained dead are all just as magical as any wish granting fairy.

You completely misunderstand what I'm saying. The "babies come from hamburgers" thing, actually came from this video I was watching about sci fi machines. Machines which can transform ordinary matter into other forms of matter. They were saying that the body already has it's own transmogrifier, which is how our bodies use food to fuel our bodies, and we use that same fuel to make our offspring. So sorry, it's you who misunderstands the question.

And you also misunderstand the question again. I'm not saying I'm going to "become a rock". Stop twisting what I say backwards. I meant, we come from star dust, that star dust can form anything. It could form a rock, it could form a human being. Carl Sagan is the one who said that we call come from star dust. So I'm sorry that I didn't fucking word it in a way that was understandable enough for you, but do you understand what I'm saying now?? After I said it like 10 times?

And yes, before we're born, we're just as dead as when we die. So, therefor, I could have not been born, therefor I would have remained just as dead as if I would have been born and then died. Get it yet????????????

Not my fucking fault you can't understand.

I hope some day religion is completely wiped off of the face of this earth. I think magical thinking is a byproduct of the infancy of human logic, and I hope that in this age of science, technology, and free information, that eventually we will move past it. I feel, all the time living on this planet, that I'm alienated from a lot of other people. One of the reasons for this is that I feel people don't think critically, so I am always liable to the people around me being magical thinkers. I am not one of those, and from the time I was just a young teenager, I remember being extremely upset about all the religion that surrounds me. It's been a point of extreme disappointment in my life, seeing how religion poisons absolutely everything around me. I see that religion is 100% worthless, people don't need god to be moral, people don't need to waste money building opulent structures to worship things that don't exist. And we don't need all the violence, and ignorance that comes from dogmatic thinking, and doctrines which fundamentally go against the scientific method.

I hate religion, so please DO NOT... EVER accuse me of being a religious person, because that is everything I'm not and it's everything I fight against in my miserable life. It's what I hope will one day be rid of in this world.

Quoting myself so anyone who doesn't look at the last page sees it here, for anyone who thinks I'm some "religious troll in disguise".
