    Philosophy.

    Anyone here interested in Philosophy? It,s a fascinating subject and there are some great
    questions to be asked, for example, what is the point of existence, why are we here?? Does
    God exist?? Is there life after death??

    I thought it would be fun to throw some of these questions out there and see what we come up with.

    So....... What is the point of existence, why are we here?????

          We are the leftovers of a DNA manipulated slave species used by the Fallen Angels to mine for minerals.

            True Tim, the survival of the species. But i think its more than that.
            I think we are here to learn something, to what ends i don,t know?

              I'm not sure there really is a point to existence.
              It's like Hobbes(the stuffed tiger) said: Kinda makes you wonder why the human race thinks its such a big deal. I think we're really no more special than the trees and other animals.

                Life is life, like chocolate is chocolate.

                That little nugget is courtesy of my four year old son. He just whips them out of nowhere. I keep telling him there is no money in philosophy...

                He also busted out "Life, is death." on the way to school one morning. Says he got it from his brain.

                  In the words of The Coup, I'm here to laugh, love, f--k, and drink liquor And help the d--- revolution come quicker.

                  Nah, in all seriousness, I believe there must be a purpose. The least that I can think of, and also the most is that we are here to LIVE. Live fully and with few regrets, trying to hurt the fewest amount of people. Ya know, do the best that we can and all that.

                        God? Jesus? Allah? Krishna? Kali? I don't believe so. I don't believe there is a "supreme" being. There maybe be species that are more advanced than us. But I don't believe in a god that needs be feared or worshiped. People love to deify things or make up gods to explain natural phenomena. My mind is open to a great many things, but I cannot and will not believe in a being looking down pulling the cosmic strings.

                          Philosophy is just semantics. It's a terribly boring subject.
                          Theology is much more interesting.

                              If as you suggest, there is no supreme being, what do you believe is behind the creation of
                              universe? Do you think that there could be some kind of intelligence behind the big bang
                              or was that just a random event?
