What's on your mind now?

[thalbergmad]

Mjames I think that the purpose of every human is to bring glory to God. He made us and gave his son for us so we should glorify him for it.

How any civilized human can still believe in that ancient horsecrap is beyond me.

Thal

[pencilart3]

That is, of course, assuming I am civilized better then the rest of 'em!

[thalbergmad]

I don't assume you are civilized, just blinkered and ignorant as the average tambo banger

Thal

[pencilart3]

Good thing I don't care what no-life atheist internet addicts think about me!

[thalbergmad]

And i care not what some bronze age thinking retard with an imaginary friend and a book of fairy stories thinks about me.

Thal

[pencilart3]

Glad the feeling is mutual! Have a nice day, seeing as this life is all you have, you better not spend any more precious moments staring at your computer screen!

[mjames]

Mjames I think that the purpose---

Therein lies your problem, what you think isn't sufficient enough for it to be an objective proposition. Of course there's also the fact that your conclusion is based upon several assumptions:

1. That God exists (not attacking your religious beliefs)
2. God's intentions

Do you guys just throw around a bunch of words (objective...intrinsic) without actually knowing what they mean?

not doing a gud job bro

[outin]

not doing a gud job bro

Did you know gud means god in Swedish? 

[pencilart3]

what you think isn't sufficient enough

It is because he is not sure that makes him a great man. It is people who are sure and almost certainly wrong that need to be feared.

Thank you for coming to my aid, Thal!

How many oolong teas can a person drink? ? ? !

[pencilart3]

I once drank 4 cups of tea in one day that was when I was working on prelude 16 for like 2  hours/ day haha good times

This is the beauty of the oolong tea. What you said above is actually a famous rhetorical Chinese proverb.  

It really requires a lifetime of meditation to answer that one.

Ok, 4 are safe then cause you nailed it. I would like to play this piece some time in future too.

Pleased I happened to say something not so silly one time lol

[pencilart3]

Yeah it's really fun.

Not sure if I am referring to the piece or the tea

or the piece tea!! hahahah!!!!

[mjames]

Thank you for coming to my aid, Thal!

Can you be anymore of a quote mine? Dawkin's statements about "not being 100% sure" (I've read his stuff) is about probabilistic uncertainty, which has to do with the epistemological barrier between what we perceive and what is "reality." In short, his position (like most scientists) is that you can't be absolutely certain about anything ever. It has nothing to do with our conversation. Now you know why statistics is a big deal.

You made a claim:
I know the objective purpose of humanity.

I asked for substantiation.

You showed that you were incapable of separating between objectivity and subjectivity, I won't even get to the crux of your reasoning skills. A well seasoned bullshitter would have at least started off with a premise...
Thal's comment has nothing to do with it. Dawkins knows the theory of evolution works (i think you might have confused him Darwin...ToE is not Dawkin's), since you know, it has been conclusively affirmed by linnaean taxonomy, phylogenetics, geological records, fossil records, DNA analysis, and it is the very foundation of modern medicine. You don't even know that God exists (unless you're willing to challenge me on that), the premise needed for your conclusion about objective purpose.

Quote-mining is intellectually dishonest, then again deflection seems to be the only trick you have when people challenge your beliefs.  

Oh well. Again, gotta try harder buddy.

[reiyza]

Off topic for a while.

Just wondering if quiet hands is achievable in playing etude 10-12.

Just curious.

[thalbergmad]

Well said mjames, but you are wasting your time.

Pencilfart has suffered terrible child abuse and his head has been crammed with mumbo jumbo and superstitious nensense. He is infested with the religious virus and there is little hope of a cure.

[chopinlover01]

So hang on.. An all powerful God created an entire universe and a species just to make them kiss his ass? Really?

[pencilart3]

What? I'm glad you have finally come to believe in God's sovereignty though. That's awesome. You're moving in the right direction!

Wut bro.? Where'd this come from? The bible? Haha.

+1 to you mate.

[pencilart3]

Wow. Harrison got a coveted

"Plus one"

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!

Now your life is complete. You can go to your grave in peace! Right?!

[chopinlover01]

I've made peace with the fact that this is the only life I have looong ago friend.
And yes, I've found God. His name is the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

[pencilart3]

Interesting choice.

[visitor]

ctulhu lord of the ocean whoops up on and would  eat the spaghetti deity any day of the week (except Fridays, new episodes of Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress hit the feed, so it's rest day)

[mjames]

What's on my mind:

Kishi freakin RUINED Naruto. The build up and climax was SO good during the pain arc but it all fell apart after it ended

Wear an astronaut helmet turning on food waste disposer next time, ugh....

Ma cowboy hat

Why. Are you going anywhere?

[briansaddleback]

Why. Are you going anywhere?

Maybe. I feel just to walk eastward and never stopping to look back. Yeah. I strongly feel that.

[kawai_cs]

Gotya. Just stand up and walk towards the rising sun, yeah, we all get that feeling from time to time, I guess

I just realized the shippuden is finally back and watch the last two episodes today

Something negative....  (We need a way to block out text so you don't see it unless you scroll over it.)

Maybe with space.   Don't scroll down if you don't want to see, although it's not horrible.













































Someone who exercised a bit daily.  Dead.  Dead within a reasonable (low end) amount of life but... The exercise probably didn't make much difference.

OK... I think I will skip exercising this weekend haha.
Some fedora frisbee in the fresh air will be just perfect. 

[briansaddleback]

Lol... uh what?

[mjames]

I just realized the shippuden is finally back and watch the last two episodes today

shippuden is cancer, what are you watching it

[Bob]

Bread... peanut butter... and the chicken I made (last week already) that I just discovered already started molding somehow.....  No chicken for supper so it's bread and peanut butter.  Yum....


*Bob inspects the peanut butter...*

[mjames]

You don't have to watch the entire thing, just a portion in order to get a glimpse of just how screwed America is. These are the people that oversee public scientific research  institutions and/or programs. The very last place you'd expect scientific illiteracy...right?

This might be hyperbolic, but I feel like I'm witnessing the regression of a developed nation. No offense.

[Bob]

Thinking about it being necessary that's there's some kind of ease/reset/rest included with a push for long term progress, that just pushing isn't going to cut it.

[briansaddleback]

Happiness for a close friend of mine.

[chopinlover01]

Preparing for an organ performance.

[ajlongspiano]

I enjoy a good plate of scrambled eggs on the weekend.

Best,

[chopinlover01]

It's not the weekend...

Best, Harrison

[mjames]

dude i freaking love eggs man

yo you should try either scrambled eggs or omellete with chorizo (portuguese sausage...no sex jokes plz) and cheddar. stuff is da bomb.

either cheddar or mozzarella.

[Bob]

I tried veggie chorizo once.  And it was good.  So I got it a few more times.  Now no one sells it.  Cayenne pepper and fried (plain) onions tastes very good with eggs too.
