    But, as you brought it up in order to outsmart me, (althought it neatly backfired, and made you look rather an eejit) I will explain a little further. Your 'millennia' bit only invalidates that one jibe of yours, which assume ...[text shortened]... at this is the best for of human contact you can muster? What exactly is your motivation?

    Why? Simply because of the derisive tone I use?

    Don’t just attack people or a faith for the sake of it. How ignorant does that make you? Are you that lonely that this is the best for of human contact you can muster? What exactly is your motivation?

    Motivation? Who says I must have a motivation? No, skippy...this is entertainment. I have plenty of human contact, thank you. I find this forum to be an entertaining place to kill some time while my opponents consider my latest gaffe. Besides, someone has to provide the yin to the sanctimonious yang of RBHill, dj2, bf101, et al.

    I can't believe a thread that began with such little intelligence has produced so much comment. 😞

    Heaven forfend that your ego should be shattered to discover there is no higher purpose to your existence. Why can't it simply be a matter of enjoying your reality, and maybe reproduce along the way? Why try to attach some deeper significance to it all? For all you know, you might be a meat animal on an abandoned farm.

As a quick rejoinder, suppose that the world is completely mechanistic, and that our psychologies can be reduced to biochemistry, or chemistry or physics. Would that entail that the love you have for your friends is any less real or important?

    Cheers,
    of course it does, haven't you realized these puppies only got one big dog that gives them a bone? Without the big dog, they have nada.

    Actually from what I have seen you don't seem to have an argument. If you do, you have not expressed it in this forum, and I do not know you from Adam.

    As I see it, if you want to have a go at certain people, then be specific, and criticise them, and them alone. Don't just first off a few in the direction of Christianity. That, old china, seems ridiculous to me.

    I take much of the blame, as I was the first to respond to the inane original post by the Antipodean half-wit.

    Apologies all round.:'(

    I will be proud to be a fool - God exists, He is in everything for me. Nothing else matters.

    Your death Aussie, will let you see the truth. Oh, and by the way, speak for yourself!

    Some threads are like fine wine.

    And some are like a front-row seat at the Moonee Ponds mud-wrestling semifinals.

    I refuse to accept that there is no purpose to life. You may happily continue in your abandoned farm, using this theory to possibly excuse your failures in life; but I intend to live life searching for purpose.

    Amen Bro....I would hate to have to tell my kids they have no purpose, that they were an accident and we don't know why we are here...LOL
