Are you into mathematics? Do you have any cake?
|
But you divided it up zero times, well, to give God his due you first didn't divide it up once, and then didn't divide it any again, and so on.
I have a cake (2) I share it(divide it) with absolutely nobody(0). What am I left with? My cake. (2)
2/0 = 2. RE: Are you into mathematics? Do you have any cake?

Well, at least you attempted to define your variables now...but since when is 2 a good value for a single cake..or sharing a good description of division? I mean, hell, if we're going to be that loose, I could tell you that no matter how many times you "share" your cake you still have one cake, since the question seems to be how many cakes you have, and not how many pieces you cut it into.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
No you have one cake(1) and you divide it amongst one person(1).
1/1=1
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

I have a cake(1) and I cut it in half(1/2) now i have half of cake.
I have a cake(1) and I cut it into absolutely nothing (1/0) now i have a cake.

If you had 1 cake and gave it to no one to eat, it would never get eaten. So you don't complete the division. Unlike when you divide it between say 4 people at which point it disappears when each has had a fourth. I always preferred the example of "I have 20 bucks, if I have you line up and give it away $5 at a time, how many would get paid? Why don't you all get $5? Because it gets used up after the first four takers. Likewise if I hand it out $2 at a time, ten get paid and then it's gone, the division is complete. But if I hand out just $0 at a time, how many get paid before the $20 is used up? |
