%26quot;you are just a walking piece of matter pretending to be someone.%26quot;
but then, i%26#039;ve been dealing with it all my life. Sometimes I%26#039;ll stare at something for too long, or think about myself too deeply, and I%26#039;ll start to feel like the person that is me...isn%26#039;t me. It%26#039;s really hard to describe. Totally weird, but liberating.
Reply:In high school, I was disgusted by the immaturity I witnessed from my peers, behavior driven by nothing but their own selfish desires. I remember looking around the school and thinking that if you watch someone talk, or sit quietly by themselves, and take away any audible language, we look like primates. That%26#039;s when I realized we%26#039;re just glorified monkeys. It%26#039;s sad really. Monkeys look so ridiculous wearing clothes, and typing on computers and shopping at the mall. We%26#039;re created this huge, superficial environment to prove we%26#039;re more than that, but it%26#039;s not true. It just makes us look like ridiculous fools, and some of us are.

I%26#039;m quite sure we are more than our bodies. Consciousness transcends the material body.

Would you agree this is what happens when we die?
We no longer exist. The world, and all existence, no matter where, continues to exist, but we have no sensations to percieve it, and no consciousness to be aware of anything. Our body repays it%26#039;s energy it borrowed from the universe; it is no longer %26#039;our%26#039; body. In a sense, life is, without a doubt, the end of everything, for you. When you die, everything dies, because the %26#039;you%26#039; is the ultimate perciever. There could be universes elsewhere existing, but to you, yourself, they don%26#039;t exist, or matter. However, I see the possibility of an after-life, not through religion, but through evolution. We came about at some stage, so why wouldn%26#039;t we come about again in a few million or billion years through evolution of some form of bacteria?
Would you agree this is what happens when we die?
your wrong what happens when we die is that our body has just become to weak to sustain life and that mean that we die and on our las breath our soul leaves to heaven and our body cannot function without a soul so thats it our body stops producing new cells and our body just decomposes naturaly but our soul goes to heaven or hell or purgatory
Would you agree this is what happens when we die?
I believe everyone percieves life as they wish. There could possibly be a life after death, but then there really would be no dying. I think, in all honesty, there are things unexplainable in the world(meaning the paranormal). I believe there are ghosts, spirits. Our life, our composotion, is an energy. I believe is a renewable resource, and thus cannot be destroyed. I think our energy lives on forever, no matter what form, concious or not. In the end, I do not think about whether I will live after this life, I think about what I will accomplish in this life, and I will leave at that, so I%26#039;m not disappointed if there is a life after death.
Reply:Energy can not be created nor destroyed- we just lose our temporary vessel, to possibly go into another.

Reply:I completely understand your point but i would disagree that everything dies because only yourself can be the %26#039;ultimate perceiver%26#039;. This is because i believe that regardless of whether or not what we perceive is truly %26#039;reality%26#039; we can only base our experiences on our perceptions and so i can only trust my perceptions that i live in the world that I do and it isn%26#039;t just a dream or something. This would mean the line ends, for me, at biological death but the world continues. After that, the world keeps on going because that is what i have perceived and therefore all i can base my opinions on if you see what i mean. Just because we lose consciousness of something doesn%26#039;t mean it ceases to be true. Obviously that point could be seen as potentially self deprecating but you get me.
Also, to those who are religious that are answering this question (and i mean no offense) im aware, at least, that Christianity preaches respect for others and i think its disrespectful to tell people your views as the ultimate truth. Regardless of whether these things are that you believe, its unfair to preach a higher knowledge and understanding and tell people that they are %26quot;wrong%26quot; and that you %26quot;know%26quot;. I find it a bit offensive. Obviously its possibly ironic me saying that but its just my opinion, I%26#039;m not trying to preach.

The theory of evolution states that there is always a better or superior life that evolves from the previous one. Have you done research on what could that superior life be?I thank the evolutionist that they atleast agree that all that gradually evolved were living. So you better think of something living and nice and sweet. We the humans are sweetest at the moment the best so to say with all that bitter and pungent side.
Next my final shot at your answer is: spare poor Darwin from this will you please, as the theory of evolution did not originate from Darwin but those who wanted to prove that there was no God In short by the Aethists and their kind.And that too after his death. Poor soul must be clenching his fist and rolling inside his covers , shouting...... revenge\!!!!!
Or he must be saying something like how I cried out----- justice delayed is justice denied!!!!! And then when I meet up with Mr. D I%26#039;d say don%26#039;t worry you are not alone in this I cried that way too, but no use, so better sleep and forget being revengeful that way we can crack jokes and lead the rest of our time laughing atleast.
Reply:speaking completely objectively..I understand and can verily relate to your position...but based on my own personal experience.. the nascent stage of philosophical studying (the first few years) has a nasty habit of oppressing open-mindedness with popularist academic views meanwhile imparting its signature variety of bias skepticisms dedicated to brainwashing all the incoming classmen to invest all thier beliefs and meaning towards life into a single, inflexible system of thought. Take it from someone who experienced it first hand and eventually, after a more well-rounded repetiore of courses wed to an intense period of personal soul searching, i developed the guts and sensibility to let ideas of the supernatural and divinity back into possibility
here are some of the reasons I cuouldnt help but find worthy of strong consideration that were responsible for my personal transformation:
near-death/after-life experiences- even the most skeptical, atheistic individuals had a complete change of heart after a close brush with death...claiming to have endured all sorts of supernatural phenomena during an extensive and complete drought of brainactivity. this I believe carries the most weight towards redeeming the possibility of post-material continuance and the existence of a soul.
spiritual sightings: too many people have sworn up and down to having seen entities that, by their very abilities and composition, defy all scientific laws of existence. A local example here in San Diego is the whaley house.

In the debate of whether or not ghosts are legit, there%26#039;s just too many people screaming %26quot;I swear%26quot; to discredit.
last and foremost: the big bang, a theory that endeavors to define universal creation, the supposed basis for all things scientific and material violates its own principles. Bottom line, some intelligent being had to create all this...its tough enough to get a toothpick let alone a human brain to pop out of thin air.
hope this answers your question :)....take some world religion classes...broaden your perception from different angles of spirituality and how they converge and interact with the real world..and lastly, always remember the biggest questions call for a mind nice and stretched, to fully wrap around.

This sense of touch may be carried with us as long as we live, even if only far below the level of conscious awareness.

Y do so many ppl think it would b better 2 sav the earth by destroying man? Y aren%26#039;t those ppl volunteering 2 die 1st? Also... y do so many believe in evolution? Even Charles Darwin later disagreed with it.
This is a green earth question?
Ohhhhhh... that is fun...say hello to Charley...he evidently made a history, according to your remark...now I can believe that he was right at least exceptionally partial...
This is a green earth question?
First off, the Earth is -not- green. It%26#039;s blue.
Secondly, Charles Darwin was put in a position in which he was facing serious legal and professional problems if he didn%26#039;t publicly recant his theory of evolution.
Interestingly enough, any reputable scientist today will find themselves in fairly serious and deep sh|t if they disagree with the current %26#039;pop-science%26#039; belief in %26#039;global warming%26#039;. At least one fairly public figure (the former director of the Oregon State Environmental Department) was dismissed because they publicly stated what -all- of us in the Sciences know; there simply is insufficient real evidence to state with any certainty that the warming trend of the last 50 years is anything outside of a normal environmental cycle.

This is a green earth question?
Ohhhhhh... that is fun...say hello to Charley...he evidently made a history, according to your remark...now I can believe that he was right at least exceptionally partial...
This is a green earth question?
First off, the Earth is -not- green. It%26#039;s blue.
Secondly, Charles Darwin was put in a position in which he was facing serious legal and professional problems if he didn%26#039;t publicly recant his theory of evolution.
Interestingly enough, any reputable scientist today will find themselves in fairly serious and deep sh|t if they disagree with the current %26#039;pop-science%26#039; belief in %26#039;global warming%26#039;. At least one fairly public figure (the former director of the Oregon State Environmental Department) was dismissed because they publicly stated what -all- of us in the Sciences know; there simply is insufficient real evidence to state with any certainty that the warming trend of the last 50 years is anything outside of a normal environmental cycle.

Having too much faith in god is right or not.?
it%26#039;s nuts. I was a hardcore Hindu, having taken couple political science courses at Yale, I no longer believe in religion.
Having too much faith in god is right or not.?
there is no such a thing as too much Faith...Faith or is or isn%26#039;t...anything else it is your beliefs which has nothing to do with Divine quality called Faith...
Having too much faith in god is right or not.?
It%26#039;s not right if it means you expect Him to sort out your problems. As with everything though, it is right if it makes you happy (and doesn%26#039;t hurt anyone else!) (this rule also goes the other way round).

Reply:Friend,
the Faith shall not be a blind one,one should read the scriptures (Hindus especially ---Ramayana,Mahabharata,Mahabhaagavata, Bhagavadh Geeta ,Brahma suutras, and others their own scriptures of their faith) and understand the real meaning they convey.
The Hindus, hard core ones , after being for some time in the west think that they know all and deny the very religion to which they belong.I am sure after due time they sure will repent and come back and embrace their mother religion.any one shall not leave their religion.if the religions are false , they will not continue for millenniums and people will not renounce everything for the realisation of the Ultimate Brahman.
The Faith shall transform into devotion and Bhakti and it should take one into the realm of Brahman (God).for this the mind shall be like that of a child unpolluted, without any garbage what we call intellect and logic.when logic and intellect disappear the mind becomes pure and the Light shines.

Reply:Having too much faith in god is not wrong when it is supported by results.
Reply:I think it%26#039;s important to believe in something greater than us. Because to believe that is to believe that we have a higher purpose in this world. That does not necessarily mean that you have to be religious - all it means is that you have to be spiritual. After all, that%26#039;s what faith is all about. A lot of people think that in order to have true faith you have to express that faith through prayer and invest time in showing devotion to a deity. But that is NOT true. I personally do not believe that God is there to judge his creation, because we are after all HIS creation. I think he made us to experience himself. And I believe that we come close to our full potential as spiritual beings when we realize that we can turn to God for anything.
Now, to answer your question with all that in mind: yes, I do believe we can have too much faith. That happens when we leave everything in God%26#039;s hands and expect that He%26#039;ll work it all out for us. We should never lose sight of the fact that God is there to experience himself through us. And if we are not taking any action to attain our goals, then we are not experiencing anything; we are just waiting for a miracle to happen. And if we are not experiencing anything, then God isn%26#039;t experiencing anything through us.
Reply:having faith is never bad. although %26quot;too much faith%26quot; can cause problems, ie you%26#039;d never do anything by yourself because you %26#039;have faith%26#039; that God will make it all right.

Reply:Faith is a matter of individual choice; But there can be no second thoughts for anyone in GOD. To co-relate this, we can take cue from the animal kingdom and relate this.
If we have observed Monkey%26#039;s the baby monkey usually hold her mother very tightly, while the mother monkey will never make any attempt to hold it. Its the baby monkey who will hold tightly. Also, if we have observed cats, the smaller ones, kittens are carried by its mother and in this case the baby doesn%26#039;t have to hold its mother. Its the mother who takes the responsibility of holding her kittens, tightly.
If we take a minute and try to co-relate your above question; We should be like baby monkeys, have faith in GOD completely, don%26#039;t ever doubt this. While you exhibit this trait, then GOD will be like the Cat, he will hold us tightly and guide us, under all circumstances.

What is the point of all this. Everything around you RIGHT NOW. Life and all life. Is there a point?
There has to be a reason for our existence as much as the existence of all other matter in the Universe. It doesnt ean we are most important and have a very significant key or part in it but we exist and therefor have some purpose. Even if our entire purpose is to exist and to continue our race. Doestn seem much as an individual but as a whole it is a different matter.

Reply:Yes there is a point, humans were created to live forever and enjoy life. Look at Adam and Eve. They were placed in a paradise, but after they disobeyed God they lost their perfect home. Thus putting a stain of sin on all their children. There definitely is a point and an issue. The issue of sovereignty.Adam and Eve chose not to obey God and to decide what was right and wrong in her own eyes, they listened to Satan.This is why we suffer today, and that is why Christ came and sacrificed his perfect life..to gain back what Adam had lost. Just read the bible, it%26#039;s all there.

Reply:the point is whatever you believe it to be... i think the purpose of Life, is simply to be lived... but the purpose of someone%26#039;s life, i come to think it falls under a form of the same words..
Reply:No, there is no point, no intent, no purpose. More importantly, why do you imply that there should be?
Life is not human action, and only human actions have purposes. Intent is a human feature, perceived correctly only in human endeavor. The whole meaning of life thing is just a misappropriation.
This should not seem disheartening, however, as life needs no point. After all, without a clear point, why aren%26#039;t we all dead? I%26#039;ve often found, in talking to people, that the fact life ends, seems to entice them into making the misappropriation, because, similarly, human actions have ends. Compared to most stuff that happens (and ends), life seems mysterious, because unlike life, all other things that end, have obvious purposes. Of course, the fact alone that life ends doesn%26#039;t make it deliberate. Intent (will) makes something deliberate.
It%26#039;s quite easy to adjust a fairer definition of life, rid of needlessly attributed qualities. You just need to stop expecting about it, things it never had.

Reply:The point is in fact the purpose in the mind of the one who critically observes things and asks questions. There a new development upon the horizon, as when one could see all that is there to see and ask what else could be in place of all that is, then everything will change in its meaningfulness in the mind. And this is the purpose of everything in your life and in the life of everyone: to find order and meanings of love and beauty in the apparent randomness of everything around.
Reply:The problem you have with this question is the deep seated religious grounding rammed into all of us from childhood to when we make our own decisions. Why does life have to have a point? is it because you want meaning.... who gives it meaning...... who created it...... these are all leading questions used by religions to coax you to the conclusion of a Deity or more and get you believing.
Life has no universal meaning other than the one you attribute to it yourself. This is why some people hate stepping on snails and other don%26#039;t think twice about stabbing you for annoying them.
don%26#039;t torment yourself enjoy what you have grow or don%26#039;t it%26#039;s your choice.. it%26#039;s your life...
Reply:Well if you believe in God , I can tell you the meaning of life , and even if you don%26#039;t , its still the meaning of life.
This life is, that few know , actually a testing ground , in which all men are tested , it was not originally made that way , but when both man and angel fell , thats what is all became .
Originally and still now life is about family , God made a family , angels (adult friends and family ) man , Gods children . That is what life is about . The entire bible and all laws are about treating others right , and not trespassing agaist them .
Law were made so that what is right and true shall prevail in the intrest of family and higher powers . And that these high powers do not abuse those of lower rank and power injustly because they have the power to do so .
That is the meaning of life , to love and to treat others as you would like to be treated if the position was reversed .
And this world is a testing ground , so that when the new heaven and earth is created , those that have been tested in this world and did that which is right will be rewarded with power and those that did not will not have any power so that in the new perfect heaven and earth perfect order will prevail forever .
And seeing that , the only thing that a man can take with him to the next world is his , knowledge and his inteligence and charater , and morals , why should man spend so much time trying to gain material things , he can%26#039;t take not even a shoe lace with him . Not his watch nor the diamond ring that was funded by blood and terror in other countrys to pay for weapons to kill , not houses or lands or bank accounts .
So what should a man be investing in seeing he can%26#039;t take anything material with him ?
He should take truth , and fairness , and honesty and love , and kindness , and understanding and any good thing he can add to his soul .
The meaning of life is clearly seen in what a man can take with him or should take with him after he leaves this world .
What else could life be possible about ? The end of life gives a very clear truth .
What is the point of all this. Everything around you RIGHT NOW. Life and all life. Is there a point?
There has to be a reason for our existence as much as the existence of all other matter in the Universe.

The issue of sovereignty.Adam and Eve chose not to obey God and to decide what was right and wrong in her own eyes, they listened to Satan.This is why we suffer today, and that is why Christ came and sacrificed his perfect life..to gain back what Adam had lost. Just read the bible, it%26#039;s all there.
Reply:Live not by other expectations...and we%26#039;ll become happy...acceptance for all these things thats all happening beyond our control........go with the flow..and from there....life is all about!!!!
Reply:the point is whatever you believe it to be... i think the purpose of Life, is simply to be lived... but the purpose of someone%26#039;s life, i come to think it falls under a form of the same words..
Reply:No, there is no point, no intent, no purpose. More importantly, why do you imply that there should be?
Life is not human action, and only human actions have purposes. Intent is a human feature, perceived correctly only in human endeavor. The whole meaning of life thing is just a misappropriation.
This should not seem disheartening, however, as life needs no point. After all, without a clear point, why aren%26#039;t we all dead? I%26#039;ve often found, in talking to people, that the fact life ends, seems to entice them into making the misappropriation, because, similarly, human actions have ends. Compared to most stuff that happens (and ends), life seems mysterious, because unlike life, all other things that end, have obvious purposes. Of course, the fact alone that life ends doesn%26#039;t make it deliberate. Intent (will) makes something deliberate.
It%26#039;s quite easy to adjust a fairer definition of life, rid of needlessly attributed qualities. You just need to stop expecting about it, things it never had.

Reply:A tree doesn%26#039;t ask itself what the point of being a tree is, a flower doesn%26#039;t ask itself how to be a flower, it just is, they just are, you%26#039;re thinking too much.
Reply:The point is in fact the purpose in the mind of the one who critically observes things and asks questions. There a new development upon the horizon, as when one could see all that is there to see and ask what else could be in place of all that is, then everything will change in its meaningfulness in the mind. And this is the purpose of everything in your life and in the life of everyone: to find order and meanings of love and beauty in the apparent randomness of everything around.
Reply:The problem you have with this question is the deep seated religious grounding rammed into all of us from childhood to when we make our own decisions. Why does life have to have a point? is it because you want meaning.... who gives it meaning...... who created it...... these are all leading questions used by religions to coax you to the conclusion of a Deity or more and get you believing.
Life has no universal meaning other than the one you attribute to it yourself. This is why some people hate stepping on snails and other don%26#039;t think twice about stabbing you for annoying them.
don%26#039;t torment yourself enjoy what you have grow or don%26#039;t it%26#039;s your choice.. it%26#039;s your life...
Reply:Well if you believe in God , I can tell you the meaning of life , and even if you don%26#039;t , its still the meaning of life.
This life is, that few know , actually a testing ground , in which all men are tested , it was not originally made that way , but when both man and angel fell , thats what is all became .
Originally and still now life is about family , God made a family , angels (adult friends and family ) man , Gods children . That is what life is about . The entire bible and all laws are about treating others right , and not trespassing agaist them .
Law were made so that what is right and true shall prevail in the intrest of family and higher powers . And that these high powers do not abuse those of lower rank and power injustly because they have the power to do so .
That is the meaning of life , to love and to treat others as you would like to be treated if the position was reversed .
And this world is a testing ground , so that when the new heaven and earth is created , those that have been tested in this world and did that which is right will be rewarded with power and those that did not will not have any power so that in the new perfect heaven and earth perfect order will prevail forever .
And seeing that , the only thing that a man can take with him to the next world is his , knowledge and his inteligence and charater , and morals , why should man spend so much time trying to gain material things , he can%26#039;t take not even a shoe lace with him . Not his watch nor the diamond ring that was funded by blood and terror in other countrys to pay for weapons to kill , not houses or lands or bank accounts .
So what should a man be investing in seeing he can%26#039;t take anything material with him ?
He should take truth , and fairness , and honesty and love , and kindness , and understanding and any good thing he can add to his soul .
The meaning of life is clearly seen in what a man can take with him or should take with him after he leaves this world .
What else could life be possible about ? The end of life gives a very clear truth .
