Re: Nicola Roxon is a disgraceful fucking wowser That would be if you really think your representative has a voice, they do not. The various parties are a hive-mind.

No, it's like they're trying to grapple with something that they have no way of ever knowing. I'd imagine pinpointing it might be hard because we have no way of truly finding it where we can say 'that's gods morality and there's no way it's anything else', if we could we'd have evidence for...

Simulated reality is 'reality' to those living in it, it doesn't essentially matter if my reality is a dream, it's as real as anything I'm ever going to know.

I dare say the main reason to doubt it is that while I do actually think it's theoretically possible I don't think it's very likely that many civilisations would last long enough to reach such a level of technology. In how many universes might this be true?

Hey bradcube, what uni do you go to? We should set up a formal debate... I'll accept "Can real morality exist without God?"

For my point to make sense the value imo doesn't need to be equivalent (I agree that a life should be worth more than a diamond), it just needs to show how one can very successfully deal with something which we ultimately understand to be artificial/worthless as if it is something real/of...

People value diamonds as having intrinsic value. The point no matter what 'type' of value we place on things is that while the value of a diamond is a mere human construction (as you've conceeded) that meer human construction is still more than powerful enough to be set in your mind that the...

It's like saying a 3 sided triangle can't exist without God... I would say finding meaning is a subjective task by definition. People do talk although there are universal morals probably because in a way there are some morals that for us are just unshakable, it has been instilled in us through a...

Is there something you don't understand about my example? You accept that the 'worth' of a diamond is an artificial human construction right? Just as much as you hold a diamond to be worth something can an atheist (and for that matter because I think your solution visavi god is flawed all...

Re: Nicola Roxon is a disgraceful fucking wowser So because we're against binge drinking that means we're against all alcohol? Does nicola want to ban all alcohol advertising? Does she want to shut down bundaberg one of australia's great business successes? If she does she should come out and...

It'd be pretty easy... the manager's discount is like $40/day free maccas... whatever shortfall me and her have would be made up by a few bucks.

wow, combined with my friends manager's discount i could probably live off maccas for like $20 a week.

which is/was US soil DUNDUNDUNNNN

No... I pretty much gave the responses. A big part of why you get troll responses to stuff like that is that it is kinda beyond ridiculous... Do you REALLY believe those texts made such predictions Mr Deist? Why aren't you a muslim? Yes... or at the very least what the verse is talking about...

Who are the intelligent posters? Starcraftmastar? Just I've noticed you're a bit of a theist... so do you dispute the findings of this study? I mean, tbh, I don't think it matters much at all, I'm sure I fit into a fair few groups / hold ideas that are held by people with the lower iq's etc...
