Hey, let's strive to keep things civil. You think an idea is stupid, and that's fine, but we don't fling mud around here.
So, first, i'm just gonna say, change "tomorrow" to "today" and you might see your argument collapse. Mainly, I feel this argument only holds up(if it in fact does hold up)...
Long story short, since you don't just outright say it is "Life has whatever meaning you give it." If you say anything else, you are making claims for which you have no proof. When someone like myself despairs over the meaningless of life, it's because even if there is a meaning, I'm certainly...
I often don't have much use for these kinds of ideas, but I can definitely see what you are talking about. I imagine an infinite being's single biggest challenge would be to combat boredom. Or combat a desire to end one's self(if you even can) out of said boredom.
It's not so much that God would be doing it on purpose. More like we are, as a poster above said, a figment of god's imagination. We exist because we think we exist, but do we really? That's where the mind bender comes in, in my opinion. Ultimately, we can gauge our universe and apply all these...
So, when you get people talking about god, and one of the people is a nonbeliever and the other is a believer, you get some interesting back and forth. One such, which I've heard multiple times, is that there is evil in the world because god is testing us. Well, the nonbeliever declares that for...
Meh, I don't honestly know all that much about egalitarianism. Just seems like a more balanced approach to the whole thing. I'd happily take a look at any sites you have of feminism that you think might give me a better idea of feminism and what it's really working towards. I've said it earlier...
It is rather ironic. I'll see feminists decrying the spotlight fallacy, and turn around and all unwittingly do the same thing to MRA's. It's okay though, cause feminists are the good guy and MRA's are the bad guys, lol.
Hmmm.... I may actually be guilty of the spotlight fallacy when it comes to feminism. It's partially why I'm talking in this thread now, to get a better sense of feminism.
You know, this actually brings up another part of why I'm not a fan of feminism. It's their tendency to take people's issues, and turn them into women's issues. For example, even if you buy the idea that 85% of domestic violence victims are female, that doesn't make it a woman's issue. It's just...
Sorry it took me so long to reply, but I've been in a foul mood the last couple of days and nothing I said would have either really reflected my actual opinions or been very nice. I can't argue with you on this point. We do seem to care way to much about female politicians looks rather than...
Okay, as I've been looking at feminism, I do see the need for more equality. I don't necessarily think feminism is the vessel that will achieve that equality, but I don't see it as purely bad. I will, however, try to poke some holes in the claims that were made in the wikipedia explanation.

I can agree with the concept that men and women are different. This is pretty much self evident. I can also understand how a vocal minority can skew someone's opinion of what something really is, as that may have something to do with my dislike of feminism.
You know, I didn't really clarify...
Hmmm.... I suppose I can see the need for this.
Seems you are saying the same as Laika, just in a different way. I don't have an argument for this.
Hmmm.... I am pro choice, and I'm certainly not a fan of these laws being passed trying to limit women's choices over their own body.
Okay, I...
So, I've been paying a decent amount of attention to feminism recently and I've come to a conclusion. We don't need it. To be clear, we don't need it in the United States. From what I've been able to see, we don't need it in any other 1st world countries either, as they all have similar anti...
Okay, I'm gonna be clear right away, that I wasn't in any way criticizing your moral code. As you pointed out, I don't know what your moral code is. I was actually simply pointing out that people don't agree about how morality works, by explaining how many religious people believe that morality...
I find it odd that someone who would happily point out that we couldn't possibly understand a god's motives(with no evidence for this statement, but I digress) has absolutely no problem trying to ascribe understanding to a god's motives. Earlier I noticed you and another basically agreeing with...
Okay, there are multiple issues with your op. 1. There is no reason to believe that a creator only created this universe to create creatures with moral free will. As has already been said, there are multiple other reasons. 2. Even if a creator did create this universe to create creatures with a...
