Last post by Icarus - April 05, 2024, 05:07:58 AMQuote from: zorkan on April 04, 2024, 01:42:57 PMGet my own back on the believers who have issued me with afterlife and death threats.
"You will burn in hell."
"I will kill you for that."
Strange how only Christians and Muslims issue statements like this.
My reply:
Ah, so your religion is nothing to do with love and peace.
The internet has become something of a curse against mankind. We have thousands of ignorant assholes who threaten judges and politicians through the internet. Most of them are idle threats posted by aforementioned ignorant assholes, but there are a dangerous few of the IA's who actually try to fulfill their threats.

"The earliest monks in Upper Egypt in the earliest Christian monastery were using this very book to celebrate the earliest Easter celebrations, only a few hundred years after Christ and only a hundred or so years after the last Gospel was written."

Religion / Re: Christian Nonduality
Last post by zorkan - April 04, 2024, 01:28:23 PMBrain anatomy is quite a subject and we are still trying to understand it.

Strange how the hippocampus is so locked away. It permanently stores bad memories which you wish would go away.
Don't know why it's called that. It looks nothing like a seahorse.
Upside down yoga stances might help the brain, like headstand and shoulder stand.
Increase blood flow to brain and improve memory.
Releases the 'bindu', I'm told. Probably a load of 'bull'.
Where does the mind get it's impulses. to do anything, I'd like to know.
Wake up one day. Fly to the moon or stay at home.

Last post by Asmodean - April 03, 2024, 07:33:24 PM"Our brains make up our minds before we know it."
Well, duuh! You need a mind to know stuff with.
Basking in the dryness of my word play aside, that right there is an interesting area of research. I suppose if one could account for every (or as near as makes no difference) variable, there could be a surprising degree of determinism to the universe, brains included. Sure, some degree of instinctive decision-making is an evolutionary necessity for survival, but when looking at "random" decisions (I have a bowl of chocolates, all of similar taste and size. Do I go for the round one or the square one? Such like) Yeah... That's interesting.

Life As An Atheist / Re: Does atheism have anything...
Last post by Asmodean - April 03, 2024, 07:20:27 PMThe Asmo gets His pizza with loads of different meat products
Not octopus tentacles, which by the way they are when worn as a beard by a eldritch god, but those are good for other kinds of food.
If The Asmo meant The Asmo to live off carrots and beans, He would not have created the world with actual food in it. He did though, so... Meat.
