This is a bit of bastard version of the 2nd law of thermodynamics, but if "energy" cannot be destroyed and there is the potential for this "energy" to be recycled (aka into new collective of "energy" making upon a recognizable collage of "energies" know as "things"), well... it would not mean that there is recycled "energy" of previous "energy collages" formerly known as human, but rather that the potential of this occuring is not to be eliminated.

Shit! Did I just post a possible empirical evidence for reincarnation? Confusedhock:

Well... I did limit it to the "energy", as for all the consciousness stuff and experiences, I cannot grant credence for this notion.

Meow!

btw...

Some of A being some of B and some of B being some of C does not in anyway imply that some of A must be some of C, but the potential is not to be eliminated, just as it cannot be confirmed. It's not sound or even valid... but this does not exclude it being possible. (Someone tell "Spock" to give it a rest!)




Moral is as moral does and as moral wishes it all too be. - MoS

The absence of all empirical evidence for the necessity of intuitive X existing is evidence against the necessary empirical existence of intuitive X - MoS (variation of 180proof)

Athesim is not a system of belief, but rather a single answer to a single question. It is the designation applied by theists to those who do not share their assumption that a god/deity exists. - MoS

I am not one to attribute godlike qualities to things that I am unable to understand. I may never be in the position to understand certain things, but I am not about to create an anthropomorphic deity out of my short-commings. I wish not to errect a monument to my own personal ignorace and demand that others worship this proxy of ego. - MoS

"Sisters, you know only the north; I have traveled in the south lands. There are churches there, believe me, that cut their children too, as the people of Bolvangar did--not in the same way, but just as horribly. They cut their sexual organs, yes, both boys and girls; they cut them with knives so that they shan't feel. That is what the Church does, and every church is the same: control, destroy, obliterate every good feeling. So if a war comes, and the Church is on one side of it, we must be on the other, no matter what strange allies we find ourselves bound to."

A linguistic möbius....

The ability to have your head so far up your own ass that you have the ability to speak out of your mouth again.

The entire "argument" resembles a roof being held together by holes.

Oooookay...so far, so good?

absolutely! atheists clearly lack the moral compass that would keep a normal, good christian from caving to their desires by implanting chips in their brains.

i'm willing to bet that in the event of a happy chip marketing scheme, a good portion of consumers would be christians, especially in the united states. our CULTURE revolves around instant gratification/being consumer whores and most of this country is christian. every god damned american would be interested in that shit regardless of religious affiliation

That's just what this country needs, a bunch of Christian cyborgs.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
