Every time I saw it I wondered what your avy was until this evening when I saw it on yahoo's main page.

No.I understand what you are saying, but humor me for a moment further, while in the womb, did we actually know what was in store for us out here?I don't care what beliefs let people cope with, honestly.
Its not better than not-believing in anything.
Frankly, if you're going to believe something that isn't TRUE, REAL, or VALID I don't want you in charge of anything important.
I'm getting to the point where I really can't understand that in 2012, why its acceptable for people to think that its reasonable to think its ok to believe things TO BE TRUE, merely because you want them to be true.
That is the pinnacle of dishonesty.
See this is what I'm talking about.
You COULD be right, but if you're going to assert that THERE IS A NEXT LIFE, the you must substantiate this claim.
YOU MUST.
Otherwise, its equally plausible that you're actually a TV in a bowl of ice cream speaking in the language of plastic.
Doesn't make sense? Well thats too bad. You just have to believe.
They're not doing that though.Ok ok, so what if they don't assert it then? What if they just casually mention it on the internet, in a thread, on a message board, about sneakers? Can you let em slide with that?This is the only thing I disagree with you on, is what I highlighted.
I don't want to be adamant about what exists and what doesn't exist.
I want to be adamant about the value of evidence and proof over wild assertions and speculation.
If you're going to assert something, you are responsible for substantiating that claim. Period.
Anyone can craft a theory while sitting on the toilet or lounging on the couch when they're high.
But yes, of course, the value of evidence and proof far outweighs wild assertions and speculation, no doubt about it. One would have to be literally insane to believe otherwise. Yet every now and then some of these wild assertions end up evidenced so perhaps it would serve you well to humble yourself on occasion.
Perhaps your brains remedial reasoning capabilities along with your primitive technologies are not sufficient enough to grasp the empirical evidence that lays in waiting for intelligent observation. Was the earth round before or after it was proven?
Just like in the womb, we may not be ready to comprehend what happens on the next plane, and nothing that we do while here, can prepare us for the inevitable transition.No.
If you don't know something, then you say "I don't know"
Look. There COULD be a god.
It COULD be true that Christians got it right.
It COULD be true that Jesus is really coming back
It COULD be true that mary was a virgin.
It COULD also be true that Spiderman is real.
BUT...until you can prove it, then you can't then assert it as true.
Thats what the burden of proof is.
IF YOU ASSERT SOMETHING, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR BACKING UP THAT CLAIM.
You assert that there is a next plane. Why do you assert this? You make it sound like you KNOW there is a next plane.Just like in the womb, we may not be ready to comprehend what happens on the next plane, and nothing that we do while here, can prepare us for the inevitable transition.No.

All we can do is to experience as many things as possible, so we can take that wealth with us.
I'm playing devil's advocate here.
HOPE.You assert that there is a next plane. Why do you assert this? You make it sound like you KNOW there is a next plane.
You can't go forward until you establish that you know there is a "next plane"
Babies in the womb would not be reasonable to assert that they know there is a life outside the womb. They have no evidence to assert that such a possibility exists.
If I lived 2000 years ago and theorized the theory of relativity, but couldn't prove it, then too bad. If you can't validate it, then there is no reason to adopt the claim.

This alone drives humanity. It's what forces us to coexist, in order to survive.
See the thing is that if you can't prove your idea or back it up enough to prove it, then you aren't doing that thing a favor.If you developed the theory of relativity 2000 years ago and couldn't prove it to anyone who would it be too bad for? You or the people who refused to consider your theory? Imagine what you could have accomplished with that knowledge, regardless of who you were able to prove it to. I'd imagine your belief in such a wild assertion would benefit you to a great degree.If I lived 2000 years ago and theorized the theory of relativity, but couldn't prove it, then too bad. If you can't validate it, then there is no reason to adopt the claim.
Example, I hope they find solutions to the issues in the Middle East.Hope?
Nah. Try again.
I don't hope for things to be true. I'm better than that. I'm in pursuit of things that actually are.
This is why people clown you and toy with you.Evolution isn't an insinuation. Its a fact. Its the foundation of modern medicine and biology. Period.
Its observed in biology, ecology, anthropology, physiology, and genetics.
That's how I know how little you understand what science actually is.
I'm asking where a soul is because you clearly say it exists.
So where is it?
Science "changing" doesn't mean a soul doesn't exist. However, you claim to have found it. Please show where it is and collect your Nobel Prize.
You survived.
And?
Would you rather have died?
You neglected the fact that YOU WERE IN THE ICU. That's MODERN MEDICINE.
How come you weren't praying to get better?
I'm PRETTY sure that hospital had something to do with it.
Actually, if its true, it wouldn't matter if I believe in it. It would be true and there would be no debate about it.
Nope.
That makes no sense.
So god exists because you want god to exist.
So I guess spiderman isn't going to reveal himself to those who don't believe in him in the first place.
What?
Belief is not subject to the will.
Something that is provable, testable, and falsifiable.
The people in the ICU whose space you wasted while you were tripping out.
Yeah, next time, don't go to the ER like you did. Just go pray about it.
I guess doctors and scientists don't have feelings or live life to the fullest.
Because the mind is all there is to life right.
Actually, studies on prayer show it to be ineffective.
Feelings do have "proof" as they are linked by both brain activity patterns and systems of behavior that are typified and repeatedly observed, even among different cultures.
Good. That means that you're just going to make stuff up that you can't prove and believe it only because you want to believe in it.
I hope you're praying to the right god.
Right. I have to believe god exists for god to exist.
Do you see how little sense that makes?
A UFO is an unidentified flying object. Thats anything from a stealth jet to ANYTHING that flies and you can't identify.
From a rock in being thrown from the corner of your sight, OR a bird flying past in a blur.
What is an angel?
Come on, you're just dismissing my claims but agreeing with them, instead calling it a person. That's not fair.Thats a person.
Actually...you're just a skin bag of floating chemistry on calcium scaffolding trying to figure out how to get your next nut.
When theres a bunch of you around, you have to find a way to make money so you can bust more nuts and eat a little better.
What does this have to do with the question I keep asking you?
What is a soul and where is it?
If you're talking about something that doesn't have a definition, then you're not talking about anything.
SO???
How does this equate to what you say a "soul" is?
You claim a soul exists.
What is a soul and where is it?
Sums it up perfect. There is no way in hell sillyputty has ever had contact with a woman, experienced love, or lives a happy fulfilling life. The proof is in his posts. People have to realize how ridiculous it is that he has so much posts in such a short time, how he looks for topics to pick on and can continue a debate for hours up to days by writing a thesis equipped with corny gifs and pictures he looks up online, NOBODY WHO HAS A LIFE OR FRIENDS WOULD BE ABLE TO, OR WOULD WANT TO DEDICATE TIME TO DO ALL OF THAT. So you can't get mad at him really, his life is punishment enough..Let him get his shine by speaking up online, because in person he clearly doesn't have a voice nor anybody to talk to..You can't take him and his psuedointelligence seriousWhy do you all continue to pay this guy sillyputty any attention?
Is damn near 4,000 posts in less than 3 months not indication enough that he has no life outside of the internet?
What more do you need to see how utterly useless and painfully pathetic of a person he is?
Why do you all even bother to be agitated by his maniacal ramblings on a website dedicated to sneakers?
Have we not all seen the picture of the socially awkward docile lamb trying his best to masquerade on Niketalk as an intellectual lion?
His whole life is "copy and paste"...
...why are you even acknowledging such foolishness?
Hope does not force humanity to coexist so that we survive. Nor does it drive humanity. You need to brush up on your history and philosophy and then your history of philosophy.HOPE.You assert that there is a next plane. Why do you assert this? You make it sound like you KNOW there is a next plane.

like frank ocean said,
"you gotta believe in something"
