Really? Because the available evidence completely contradicts that. In general, the more secular a nation is, the better its society is in pretty much every way. This isn't to say that secularness causes societies to be more civilized, but it DOES mean that your thought process above is completely wrong.

The names should be visible so we can better vote for the person whom we most like.

So, theoretically, one could build a person from scratch. Should this home-made 'person' have the same rights as a human? Why or why not?

I thought it SAID in the text that Eden was somewhere in Mesopotamia. EDIT: "And the name of the third river [is] Hiddekel: that [is] it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river [is] Euphrates."-Gen 2:14

Oh snap!

Hades isn't a god?

I thought humans could go to Mount Olympus. I know they could go to the Underworld. Didn't Elijah go to Heaven without dying?

Suppose our prosthesis technology advances to the point that any body part can be replaced with an artificial one. If one were to slowly replace organs and limbs until no original organs are left, is the remaining thing(essentially a robot) still that person? Is it even still a person? Should it retain the rights it had as a multicellular organic being? Would it be any different if the brain were replaced in chunks(part by part with each assuming its role prior to the removal of the organic counterpart so that continuity is not disrupted)? I think it would be, as I don't see anything particularly magical about any of our organs. If this thing is not a person, in what part of the process did the transhuman cease to be a person?

Are we ever going to see the final version? Do you still think it is correct, or have you moved on to something else?

A god which can't *DO* anything isn't very impressive. I'm not sure that's godlike at all. That's actually what I was thinking while making this thread.

What does that even mean? Supernatural to me is actually synonymous with nonexistant as I take nature to mean all that exists. If something is supernatural, then it does not occur in nature and thus does not exist. I don't plan on dying. So far, so good. We might even live in an age where transhumanism is possible in our projected lifetimes. I'm more powerful than many humans. Check. Check I'm not sure that is an intelligible sentence.

I am the consciousness of the Universe, therefore, I am a god. QED

At the appeal, the court failed to find intent. imRFmC7HejU

This is probably the first question that runs through my mind when talking about God(ignosticism ftw). What is a god? Is a sufficiently powerful man a god(like Pharaohs)? If the alien-god hypothesis is true, are the extraterrestrials really gods? What are the qualifying characteristics of a god? I hereby present my candidacy for godhood.

Farsight, I saw that you're posting again. It's been a couple of years, so I was wondering if you had any updates for this.

Does that mean you can finish RELATIVITY+ now?

Which begs the question of the message of which books and why? He even said that early Christians didn't have a 'Bible'.

AFAICT, nothing can cause anything to exist. Causality applies only to things which already exist. An object can cause a new arrangement of objects to exist(create something from something else), but it cannot cause a new fundamental object to exist(something from nothing). To cause an object to exist would require the object to exist so that it may be acted upon. This also really makes sense in light of conservation of mass/energy. </rant> Also, 'What created that something which created something from nothing?'

He was found not guilty.

Unfortunately, I will be unable to get a lot of interviews lined up for a while, since my schedule has me in the middle of the ocean a lot for the next few months. You'll have to harp on Cap'n for more.

Whoever had the idea for this interview was a genius. And the person who got Ray to agree to it must be a god.

Because you're a bad little boy and Santa hates you.

Asking internet forums for medical advice isn't really a good idea.
