Sometimes when starting a great search, it is best to start off not even knowing what it is that you are looking for. Last Edited by pi on 01/18/2013 08:10 PM |

If you don't believe we were created, then you probably adhere to the shit theory of evolution, or some other vague bullshit newage(sewage) crap. So basically, people want to believe that they arrived from nothing, or that they will be reincarnated by some vague force (wtf who controls that?) so that they don't have to be held accountable for their actions.

It makes me wonder about the chances of being born as a human being (from an atheist's standpoint). There are so many species of animals out there, so many germs, so many plants, and I got chosen as a human? What controls this selection??? Are other animals and germs conscious, or are they just an illusion to intelligent minds? (Sorry im kind of tipsy) |

I tend to think that every sentient being feels human. Meaning wherever it is, it is in the middle, it is the normal.
