If mystics get to be atheists then Penn needs a new term for himself.

^ In an age of abused authority, seeking the higher ground might merit such absurd displays of humility. I have to credit Penn for trying to buck his own status in the search for truth. Youtube, hair down, open invitation for public discussion, you can`t take off your money and status much more than that in the search for an honestly equal intellectual footing. He is seeking truth on its own merit, and I cannot but applaud him.

Hey you spiked bastards, im in the mood for a nice and deep god discussion today for some reason. So jump in if you want, or dont, but it`d be nice. First of all, NO BELIEF ALLOWED. So as far as my brain can tell we live in a cause effect world, which may be a cognitive illusion of some sort but still, one could make the case that there is an uncaused supreme cause, seed of all other causes, which can be uncaused because it exists in eternity (that means without Our made up time restraints). I guess there can also be some kind of circular universe in which we are going forwards in time towards the big bang which created us in the "past". I can only think of these two theories (of course the supreme cause one has NOTHING to do with the omnianything dogma-icky-god with ethical subjective standards and all that shit)If you can think of any reason why anything I said is stupid or you come up with other theories, you would make me a happy man.
Edit: well, a slightly less eloquent answer than I was expecting from tripstix (im jk). I just want to know what some large brained spiked dwellers think.

^^^^ "...and I cannot but applaud him."

You`re right, sometimes you can make the good thing on television, sometimes you have to do it person to person. Gets you real feedback.

The comparison with snakes was weak, because snakes and humans pretend to be something else in order to survive, like pretending to be working when you`re not really doing it. The problem is why mask something that you know is not a god with it being some sort of god, if it`s immatieral and with free will who makes magical stuff, then it`s a god, if it`s material with no will like the "whole universe is god", then it`s the whole universe, but if it has will, where does it came from? A special code that`s held within the arrangement of the universe? Then it`s nothing, it`s just like DNA. If it`s matter and our collective consciousness has been spread all over living things, then why not we all die so that we can`t be one collective consciusness again and fix this shit? Why are we waiting for god to do something? We are god... or even sillier, god soul`s exploded into million pieces and some of it held into matter and organized it to make a whole new living god by making itself into DNA, we are god and we all shall become one.

Yeah, like in Cowboy Bebop, there`s million new ideas out there and sometimes the new ones seems more attractive, even if it`s all science fiction... it`s not, they are just new ideas that sound cool amongst all these "be-good-don`t-be-atheist" things. Some people like to conform, some other make shit up.

Though I have much faith in science, I could never rule out the possibility that there is some form of deity that watches over us. I believe that there is more purpose to life than what most give life credit for. Man is capable of much more than we give ourselves credit for.
Though we have made amazing advances over the years, we still know nothing about the universe or what is out there. It just might be that there is a purpose yet to be revealed to us. A purpose we can`t quite comprehend at this juncture in our tiny insignificant existance....or it could just be a bunch of fucking stars and planets, ect.

Science has continuously proven itself wrong through the entire span of human history. Never should you form an impermeable belief structure. It blinds you from the ever changing "truth".

Maybe Jesus was the son of God. Maybe Allah truly does have a whole lotta virgins. The world may never know...

VIVA LA (R)EVOLUTION!!!

Objectivism is stupid. It says that self sacrifice is bad. Or more acurrately that you should only act in you own best interests. It also says full laissez-faire capitalism is the way to go. As you have seen lately, deregulation towards laissez-faire capitalism does not work too well. The other tenets are reasonable or at least not retarded.

What an annoying rant. He would have been better off talking about the arguments on the abortion issue since he just dismissed the conception argument and cited no reasons.

Hmmm abortion debate, sound familiar psychologyprofessor?

i think the friend of his imitates spiritualism (like the poisonous snake) for the same reasons as the snake `it`s a defense mechanism` from the stigma that comes with being a atheist in social standards when there is soo much spirituality in the world.
