i was made by a moral God, so killing me is wrong, and also i have purpose in life, you evolved randomly from pond scum, so killing you would just be survival of the fittest? ------------------ |

Pond scummers, unite! If someone starts killing me... they'll probably shoot me or stab me, cause that's easy, so they're probably going to try to mess up my blood-flow, or stop me from breathing by strangling. After I'm dead, I get burned up or buried. Either way, my atoms are still around, and in the grand scheme of things, not much has changed - unless I was working on some sort of bomb that was large enough to wipe out the universe. I don't see anything spiritual about it - after my brain doesn't get oxygen, it stops forming thoughts, and my body shuts down, like an unplugged computer. And in this age, it would be 'survival of the shotgun-wielders', not necessarily the fittest. |

Im putting that on my desktop. If I kill a scientist that claims to have evolved from a monkey would I be commiting a sin? God said not to kill people, but he never said not to kill monkeys.  ------------------ I shall worship you all of my life. Till death do us together. |

Well the scientist wouldn't be a monkey. He'd be a human that evolved from apes. Unless it was some sort of super-genius monkey. Guess you could kill it... we could try cloning it after. Monkeys are pretty complex though, it'd be hard. And then there's the religious people flying off the handle against cloning as well. It's best to do all the scientific stuff in secret. Otherwise you get protests and crap. I ain't stopping you from killing a scientist. But he probably would. He'd whip out his crazy custom virus, inject you, and then BAM you are a winged monster that must serve his every command. Death = Stopping bodily functions by stopping molecules from getting to other molecules? |

what is a soul? so you are an atheist to a point in denying anything moral at all, so if somebody kills all your family, they didn't do anything wrong? ------------------ |

CheeseStorm Member Posts: 521 From: Registered: 11-28-2004 |
Yeah, it sounds pretty heartless, but emotions are just little signals in our brain... I'd probably be sad if you shot up my family, but I haven't mastered my brain yet either. Morals are just stuff our brain invented to try to make sense of things. What is a soul? In my opinion? The part of us representing our personality that supposedly goes to either Heaven or Hell after our body stops working. Now if we could ditch our emotions and work like good little robots, oh the progress we would make! It's just hard to ditch something we've grown up with. And until I've got that machine's blank personality... you stay away from my family. Hehe. |

Progress towards discovering where the first universe came from! That's the main question I want answered. Answered with facts and stuff, not theory. Must wait, though. And emotions are cool and all, cause jokes are funny. But if emotions get in the way of progress (ethics and morals and stuff) then I'll be disappointed in them. I used to think that everything we did was either for Progress (do homework) or Fun (procrastinate and play video games). But since 'fun' is just little neurons lighting up, then maybe moods don't really matter, and good or bad is just an idea. Mahahahaha, surrender your individuality for the pursuit of knowledge. |

you'd make a great dystopic story. reminds me of 1984 by Orwell. i think.. been a while since I read it... but... I prefer Brave New World by Huxley, where the people are controlled by their emotions and desires. Now that's how you control people. still...what a great outer limits episode. besides. how is progress any better than fun? it's all just vanity; all just flashes of neurons that will stop someday. ------------------ |

It'd just be the ultimate discovery to see how something came from nothing. Then we could pat ourselves on the back, begin a new universe, and erase ourselves - for there would be nothing left to do. |
