on a scale of one to ten, rate your significance/ importance of existence then, answer this question: if i was to walk up to you and place a gun to your head telling you that i'm going to scatter your brains about when i pull the trigger, would you be able to give me three reasons as to why i should not? i expect the three reason to be in relation with what your contributions are as a living being based on your significance/ importance of existence. |

i would pull the trigger for both of you so far. i would not care about your attachment to life. i would reply " i dont care. you will die anyways. what should keep me from speeding up the process? why do you deserve or belong to be here?" |

No one has that sort of right sorry Hevquip; while even I can look at people and marvel at their pathetic lives, I still have no right to do anysuch thing, If I had to give a rating for myself itd be about 7/10 and my reasons would be 1. I am in the pursuit to better understanding of myself and the situation of existence 2. No one is of real value when it all comes down to it, and 3. Id say survival of the fittest and bludgeon you to death sooner than run away. |

i dont much like your opinion mariah. i do not believe in the god, nor do i like the church. i believ that religion exists because people are afraid of their mortality. they invent concepts to trick themselves into thinking that they will have something to look forward to because they do not want to acknowledge the fact that they are frail little people who only get one chance at living. i do not think that it is the churchs place to tell us what is right or wrong and try to enforce it because i think that they are too biased and closed minded. i do not believe in god because i do not think someone should judge us on how we live the way he does or why one individual wields as much power and significance as he does. the god and devil concepts are for the weak. all things good are the result of gods doing, all things bad are the result of the devils doing. where is the responsibiltiy in that? why is one not given control of their own life? i believe heaven and hell are concepts the church made up so people would go to mass. without heaven and hell, no one would go because they wouldn't be tricked into thinking that there is something waiting for them in the end. people can make it through life without god. |

yes, although my purpose was not to decide who should live or die, but to make one ponder the signifacance/importance/utility of existence. the gun would act like a catalyst to extract an answer from someone who usually does not think of such things often. |

yeah...i realized that there was that correlation, but i didn't borrow it from the movie. i'm not really going for the 'live you life to the fullest' message though, i'm more interested if one can come up with and understand their reason for existing and what affect it has on the world. if ones existence would be wiped out tomorrow, would they be able to give a good reason as to why it should not? that's what i'm looking for. |

You have some interesting scary ideas brewing. You feel that there is no reason for human existance (I might expand this to include no reason for the existence of LIFE period, but we're all humans here, unless you are an ostriche that has learned to communicate in english.) There doesn't really have to be meaning, exactly. Define meaning. Actions simply take place and are stimuli for more actions. Life, however we define it, is only a manifestation of energy, the actions that have been taking place, all catalyzed by the first action according to theory, the big bang. I suppose nearly all the energy that fuels earth life is from the sun. The first action that created the sun. It's a form of "life" itself, and it only existests because energy cannot be destroyed but can only change form. You fear death, for good reason I suppose, I'm not necessarily one to say. We are both going to die, no matter what. If you pulled the trigger, you'd die no more than a hundred years later too (given plenty of play room, in case you are 1 year old and live for 100 years.) People would like to think they are significant in some way. I'm not one to say. I am merely a person too, and must confront death and my own significance like everyone else. |

I read "sex and the orgins of death". When single cells existed, death didn't really exist. A parent cell simply divided resulting in to almost completely identical copies. When sexual reproduction started though, the whole purpose was to combine the traits from 2 individuals in order to have a more varied gene pool to be a more adaptive life form. It was now necessary for the old phenotypes/genotypes to die, to make way for newly mutated ones. Life wouldn't adapt if they hung around forever. |

I would have made a coin appear from behind your ear, even though it was really obviously in my hand before i pretended to find it there, however, i think you would be suitably impressed and would spare my life.

I don't believe in such a simple theory of religion as you proposed earlier either hevquip. But it seems to me that you are doing exactly what spawned the multitude of religions that exist today by questioning the reason for our existence. YOUR WASTING YOUR TIME with such shallow played out discussions. If you're going to attempt a debate on something interesting why not try something tangible and real that actually affects the human race. We are here now this is all we've got at the moment - everyone is as important as each other. We may as well try to make the most of it. |
