<p>What do you mean by “prove”? Nobody’s seen gravity or molecules, and we’re all merely assuming they exist based on empirical evidence.</p>
<p>I watched a segment of the O’Reilly Factor where Bill interviewed Richard Dawkins, and what I got from watching that was the sheer arrogance of the likes of Bill O’Reilly who, since they’re not nearly intelligent or curious enough to comprehend the scientific explanations for how life can be created without supernatural forces (i.e. the BS behind Irreducible Complexity), they think they have the right to arbitrarily assume that it’s a Christian, pro-life, anti-homosexual, and Eurocentric God who created everything. Not only that, but also enforce upon others that their arbitrary and baseless belief on the aforementioned Christian, pro-life, anti-homosexual, and Eurocentric God is the path of the righteous. All this because they’re intellectual lacking and/or lazy.</p>
<p>A great part of the O’Reilly-Dawkins interview is when O’Reilly turtles and proclaims that his religious beliefs are truth to him. Dawkins then skewers him by saying how can something possibly be true to only Bill and not to others? That, by definition, is not the truth. Looks like Bill O’Reilly is the biggest moral relativist in the world.</p>
<p>Yes, it must be nice sitting up there on your mountaintop, looking down at the rest of us brainwashed peons running about at the bottom. How great it must be to know that you alone have an enlightened view of the world, to know that just because you believe something different, you are correct and so knowledgeable.</p>
<p>Seriously, get a grip on reality and realize you’re no better than anyone else for thinking you are unique in that you have a different viewpoint. A little bit of arrogance can be good. A lot of it just makes you an ass.</p>
<p>lol
I never said I am the only one or I am enlightened. I know how important is everyone and I respect people. I was just expressing my viewpoints, and according to law of free will you have a choice to/not-to believe in it. You can either stay in a matrix and believe whatever you want or you can do your homework and see for yourself how deep the rabbit hole goes.
choice is yours!</p>
<p>To answer one of the early questions that appears to have been lost in this thread: the purpose of life is to **** and have kids so that way your genetic line can acheieve a state of pseudoimmortality.</p>
<p>Also, I think it’s a little absurd to still believe that if something has yet to be answered, it must have been god. Go back far enough and we didn’t know how to make fire, or where rain came from, what stars were, etc. There is a long list of natural phenomena that at one point we did not know the answer to. Often in those times, people turned to religion, so I understand why people do it now, but given our history, I’m going to assume that many of the questions that currently remain unanswered by science will eventually be answered.</p>
<p>Really interesting stuff in that ^ If you don’t believe in illuimati and NWO and all that, you can just skip over that. </p>
<p>But the idea that we are all pure energy is a pretty interesting concept, which in one way or another would mean that our souls are immortal and that we are forever creating our own realities in this 3rd dimension. </p>
<p>We are born into this society, taught to act a certain way, bound by religion, and it’s hard to truly be a free thinker when we’ve been brainwashed this way, whether it’s for good or bad. Yes, we really have been brainwashed, but maybe not in the way you think. Imagine how different the world could be if we were governed by different morals, or none at all.</p>
<p>Can you imagine if there was nothing ever; no universe ever existed, life was never created, no planets, no NOTHING for eternity, no God heaven no NOTHING if you get what I’m talking about and think deep enough you get kinda scared you just can’t picture it its inconceivable.</p>
<p>Well yeah baller, it is inconceivable. That’s completely out of our schema. I don’t see what your point is, because the universe DOES exist and we DO exist.</p>
<p>Your argument contadicts it’s self. If you assume that the universe must have been created by god because everything must come from something that is already there. Then who created god? </p>
<p>It appears to me that there cannot be an intelligent being controlling everything. If there was, how do you explain G.W. Bush?</p>
<p>“Do lil bit of research and practice meditation and astral projection. Stop pouring out your brainwashed, big brother controlled viewpoints! sorry.”</p>
<p>You can practice meditation and astral projection on your own, Porkey. If it leads to personal enlightenment - good for you. Just don’t presume it to be the universal truth, whatever that may be.</p>
<p>“because the universe DOES exist and we DO exist.”</p>
<p>Descartes would disagree
Can you really know for certain that anything at all (except for your mind) exists, and isn’t simply an elaborate construct of your imagination?</p>
“I know how important is everyone and I respect people.”
“Stop pouring out your brainwashed, big brother controlled viewpoints!”</p>
<p>I think someone needs to look up the definition of “respect.”

<p>I said sorry after that sentence if you read it again. and yes I know the definition of “respect” =)</p>

<p>I mentioned about astral projection because by practicing it you can experience your spirit (astral body) without your physical body/world. But projecting too frequently in astral world is not good for your karma as you chose physical body for certain purpose and experience. Please don’t be arrogant because one day you’ll experience your astral body too because death (of body) is inevitable. Then you’ll know what is universal truth or false. :p</p>
<p>“Please don’t be arrogant because one day you’ll experience your astral body too because death (of body) is inevitable”</p>
<p>…or not. Have you considered the possibility that there is no such thing as an astral body, or a soul? That the only thing that exists is your body?</p>
