Casual power to enform? Ok, I like this. And if it's true that matter is a form of energy, then nothing belongs to anybody? :-)

I get this part pretty much. So the data survives hyper-compression. Where is the data now? This question might help me tie my theory to what you're s...

I do know it already. Again, please calm down, I mean you no personal offense. And if you find me offensive, just ignore me in turn.

I think the experience was meaningful for those involved, but probably not because of the stated topic. I think the stated topic was most likely a pro...

Please don't take it personally. I didn't respond to every point because I've already done so at least a billion times for 25 years. Everything you're...

Thank you, and sorry. My humor is so advanced that, um, I'm the only one who understands it. Or something....

I'm questioning the degree to which the commenters, this one included, were invested emotionally in the actual topic. Questioning this too. I'd made p...

No, that's wrong, TOTALLY WRONG!!! What is wrong with your brain??? Are you on drugs? Is your mother in the world's oldest business??? :-)

So, assuming that the pre-big bang state was reduced to a set of non-material instructions, real but non-existent.... What happens to those instructio...

I like this idea a lot, it is fascinating at the least. And I've never thought of it before this thread. So your participation is appreciated. If I un...

Please show us the reason based repeated patterns of reliability in generating provable claims on the subject of gods. Your claim, your burden.

This is the common atheist error, the assumption that because reason is proven good for many things (agreed) it is therefore automatically qualified f...

You want to imply the evidence is there, but you just don't have the time to provide it. To you, this seems a clever strategy. Except that we all know...

Right. Hamas denies Israel exists. They are clear minded, and honest about their position. Israel must die.

Nobody asked you to. If you were concerned about innocent muslim victims, you'd be able to show a series of posts on this forum where you express conc...

Ok, a tool if you prefer, and the atheist belief is that this tool can generate meaningful statements on the subject of gods. In the same way, the the...

Oh for crying out loud, cut the crap. You won't provide the evidence because there isn't any, and you're not honest enough to admit that. Here's the r...

WOO HOO!!! Eleven days. Wow, I haven't managed that since, um, 1994. Seriously. Thank you for reminding us it's still possible to have a life. :-)

It appears your false claim about Hamas has been dismissed, and so now you're back to the usual dodging and weaving.

You want us to take your questions seriously, but you don't take the topic seriously yourself. You've been asked multiple times to demonstrate that yo...

Please introduce us to the atheist who comes to their position without reference to human reason.

From the debate thread... That's the dictionary definition of atheism, written by people who work at dictionary companies, not by anyone who understan...

If you wish to have a debate, you will have to first find someone who hasn't already expressed support for your position.

A vote could be based on which speaker is the most articulate, explains their position the most clearly etc. We could vote for a particular writer bas...

You're arguing with yourself here. You agreed that the customer must comply with airline regulations, but then change your position in regards to all ...

Read my post again. I already agreed that it's up to each person to decide for themselves on the vaccine. If they were smart they'd get it, but it sho...

Suppose each flight had a bouncer, like in a night club? If one raises a stink about a mask, the pilot sends back this 300 pound NFL linebacker Mr. Mu...

Ok, a quick google search suggests to me that Hamas still seeks the end of Israel, but is attempting to strike a more moderate tone so as to somewhat ...

Here's a summary of Hamas by the BBC. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-13331522

Is there any chance you could just shut up when you don't have anything useful to say? Again, nobody is interested in your emotional situation.

A place to start perhaps... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamas_Covenant Here's one section that may merit focus. What does "liberation of all of Pale...

Because you're a juvenile dickhead. You're like 12 years old emotionally. And I know this for sure, because I'm 13.

So now we appear to have competing claims from the two of you regarding what it is that most Palestinians really want, and would accept as a basis for...

This could be true, and I will investigate further, thanks. If you can provide recent public statements from Hamas to this effect that would be welcom...

First, let us prove that logic is relevant to such enormous questions so far beyond human scale. Until such proof is provided, all sides of the debate...

My vote is as follows... We have to respect people's right to decide what goes in to their own bodies. Some people will make poor decisions about that...

I like that, thanks. Never thought of it that way.

And, thought is pretty appealing. In the real world, I am small beyond measure. But in thought, in my own mind, I am the ruler of a kingdom of concept...

I agree with the establishment of a Palestinian state, as expressed already above. As has been discussed already, this doesn't really solve the confli...

Here's another theory to add to the pile... Animals and primitive humans have/had a primal bond with reality. I literally live in a wildlife hospital,...

Well, no where that I'm aware of. I was just struggling to respond to the interesting point made by Gnomon. Especially this part... While DNA does hav...

I cast my vote for this. The Mid East conflict is a lot like this thread, lots of yelling, not all that much thinking. And, I suspect it's a lot like ...

I know, you could move to the Middle East. You'd fit right in!

Very well said Mr. Crank, your post seemed to nail it pretty well. I've been slowly coming to peace with the NPR narrative in this manner. Boomers are...

A huge percent of your posts are of this type, trying to inflate yourself by reducing someone else. I've already said multiple times that I agree Isra...

Much of this thread reminds me of my growing disenchantment with NPR. Endless descriptions of the problems, with limited interest in specific solution...

I like this, thanks. Thought provoking. What you describe may be mirrored to a degree in life. DNA is close to non-existent in relation to the matter ...

This is the first time we've attempted to create a global civilization this complex. Getting it right on the first try doesn't seem that likely. I pre...
