I'm a big bang, evolution advocate, no afterlife atheist who hass a mixture of heavy doses of liberal and libertarian beliefs, with a bit of conservative ones thrown in as well, about life. As to the why we are here... it's because in the whole of the universe the billions upon billions of possibilities led us to where we are today and that it is quite arrogant to believe that in the vastness that is space we are the only ones in it with intelligence. |

Re: Spirituality, Religion, it's all bullshit....
I admit that this thread surprised me – I did not know Sar was a Moslem. (“They was all Moslems, Tom said, and when I asked him what a Moslem was, he said it was a person that wasn't a Presbyterian. So there is plenty of them in Missouri, though I didn't know it before.” Huck Finn (Mark Twain), Tom Sawyer Abroad, Page 1, Paragraph 5)
Belief in an afterlife is not a prerequisite for achieving quality of life. The fact that I do or don't believe in a state of existence subsequent to this one has no bearing on whether this existence is worth enduring. Why are we here? Because we are. It is really that simple. That's a hard one for people to accept. After all, at least in the West, as children we are taught that "because is not an answer." Except that sometimes it is. As usual, the fucking grownups were lying. I dunno about the whole idea of God. Grew up a Christian. Might have read a book or two about other concepts - I'm sure the library records are now in my file in Washington. It's all just man trying to wrap his head around the whole "why are we here" question, and having been programmed that "because is not an answer" by the lying fucking adults, he comes up with something else (even if that something else is "there is no point"). Then ego kicks in, and the holder of idea A has to denigrate the holder of idea B to make himself feel better about his own uncertainty. So I dunno what’s true or what’s not true. I am an Agnostic. If you can't prove your idea to me by putting something in my hand, or showing me something under a microscope or in a telescope, then your idea is no better than his or hers or mine. Smug nonbelievers are no more and no less insufferable than smug believers. What do I believe? In a silly-ass song from the play "Hair" is a line that goes "I believe in God, and I believe that God believes in me." To crudely paraphrase a discussion between Anna and the King of Siam, "seven days or seven million years, the miracle of creation is the same." And to quote a wise man, "Sometimes the light is shining on me, and other times I can barely see. Lately it occurs to me what a long strange trip it's been." Essentially, that has been the gist of my "theology" since 1970. Thus endeth the reading of the Word. Bird is the word. Um-papa uuuh moow moow.

Is a decision an "action" ? If you make a decision (any decision) are there consequences ? If you fail to make a decision (which is by default making a decision) are there consequences ? Yes, the laws of motion can be applied to decisions.

You're statements answer themselves: If you make a decision (any decision) are there consequences? If you fail to make a decision (which is by default making a decision) are there consequences? Decisions and actions have consequence... they aren't equal or opposite though.

We're here because we're supposed to be...if we weren't supposed to be, we wouldn't be. Why are we supposed to be? No fucking clue. One of the most comforting, wonderful ephiphanies I ever had in my life was the realization that I don't have to know. I'm not in charge. Whoever or whatever the Supreme Being is, I know for certain it isn't me. Therefore, the universe will unfold exactly as it should without any understanding or intervention on my part. I can sit back and enjoy the ride. I like the ride. From where I'm sitting I can look out my living room window and watch hawks ride the air currents and hummingbirds feed off the jade plant. Discussing theology with Opranauts is a nice thing to do on a day when the sun is shining and the birds are flying. |

Re: Spirituality, Religion, it's all bullshit....
Quote:
The logical conclusion of the decision "I need coffee from the store" is to somehow put your body/mind/whatever into motion to obtain the coffee from the store, not getting the coffee. If you do not decide that you need coffee then the logical conclusion is that you will not get into motion to obtain the coffee and if in fact there was no coffee in your pantry then you would end up out of coffee. So, in fact each decision is an action and each action produces a reaction. action: decision - I need coffee from the store. reaction: body/mind goes into motion to obtain coffee. action: decision - I will use the car to go to the store to get the coffee. reaction - grab car keys and head for the door. etc etc so on so forth ad infinitum....

Re: Spirituality, Religion, it's all bullshit....
Decisions are not actions, acting on a decision is.
It is every bit as arrogant, and ignorant to say "THERE IS NO AFTERLIFE" as it is to say "THERE IS ONE". Truth is we simply do not know. But we are gonna find out, maybe, maybe not. |

Re: Spirituality, Religion, it's all bullshit....
Quote:
An action is a physical process (I go get coffee). The decision has no impact UNLESS you take action. If a decision was an action, I would have lost 75 pounds and no longer consume tobacco products. I have made the decision that I need to loose weight many times. I have made the decision that I need to quit smoking many times. My failure to take subsequent actions to effect those changes does not negate the decision. The decision that you need coffee has an impact on no one. The action of going to get coffee can impact many people. If, for example, you run over a cop in a crosswalk the impact of your actions (leaving the house, starting the car, blah blah blah) will ripple around you.

Re: Spirituality, Religion, it's all bullshit....
Everyone can believe in whatever they want, educating them to my standpoint isn't much of a concern to me. A wise man once said "It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it."
Anyway, as far as my beliefs go, I think we just regenerate through the dirt that we rot in, but I accept the possibility of a god. However, I highly doubt he/she/it would be so vein as to punish me for all eternity for not singing in praise and believing 100% in him/her/it without much scientific proof.

Au contraire, the decision was the action. To make the decisions all sorts of electrons flowed across synapses to form the thoughts. That is the action. The reaction to the thought process is taking the step that the decision calls for.

Re: Spirituality, Religion, it's all bullshit....
Quote:
I've had a few experiences that lead me to believe that there is something more and that we each go through many incarnations. The reason I believe that our "essence", if you will, travels with you is this. When I was 19, I was in the hospital with a blood clot in my leg. At one point, I had fallen into the deepest sleep I had ever experienced and felt myself floating above my body. (before this occured, I had absolutely no belief in astral projection) I saw the doctor come into my room and have a conversation with my mother. She was telling him that my breathing didn't look right. I remember fighting, trying to wake up. When I finally did, I repeated the entire conversation my mother and the doctor had, told them exactly what they had been doing while talking. They sent me down for a lung scan and found the blood clot had moved to my lungs and I was very close to death. Most people who have been with a loved one when they die say that they can feel the spirit leave the body. Also when I was in my 20's I was a participant in a study at the University of Pennsylvania dealing with hypnosis and past lives. I discovered 2 previous lives. At the time I still wasn't sure how much of it to believe, but around that time my mother had been at a friends house who also happened to have another friend there who is a psychic. She was not there as a "psychic" she was simply there because she was a friend of my mother's friend. Anyway, she was talking to mom and asked to hold her wedding ring. She got very few impressions of my mother, but a ton of impressions about me. She told my mother I was a very old soul and told her about my past lives. She described exactly what I had experienced. I had never met this woman, nor had I told my mother about the hypnosis. So go ahead and call me crazy, but I have my reasons. |

You all have excellent points, but I believe I'm siding with sarettah on this one. Why? I put the reasons in bold. The verb you used. You "made" a decision. An action. You even referred to the actual dieting as "subsequent actions." Not *the* action, another action. There is quite a point to actions being only in the physical world, but I think it's too narrow a definition. |

Equals and opposites are not always easy to discern. If we accept that the exact opposite of a "mental cocksucker" is a "sane pussylicker" then yes your statement would stand as sound. But since the opposite and equal of a "mental cocksucker" could possibly be manifested many ways, while your logic may be sound your statement is not true.

The decision itself is an action as much as anything else we do. While we are alive we are in constant motion, we are incapable of NOT taking action every nanosecond that we live and breath.

Re: Spirituality, Religion, it's all bullshit....
Quote:
I think the distinction between mental and physical is of the utmost importance. Deciding I need to lose weight is a mental process. Medically, I have a doctor who tells me that every time I see him, so the decision is based on scientific fact. I accept the suggestion of the doctor. It is true that I need to lose weight. It is very true that the logical next step is to take subsequent actions to accomplish that. But I'm a human being. What is logical is not always what I will do. Thus, the decision means nothing without action.
