God does not need or care about your love. That is a very limited way to view both God and loveQuote:

I agree with this. Religion is the answer to all. Thats some of why I dont believe.. its just too convient.
Stop with the one liners!! Explain yourself!
You need to have a label or a name on things in your envirnment (world) so that we don't walk around grunting all the time.Quote:

And you're avoiding my questions. I want you to explain what why you think we're here. I know.. to learn. But elaborate, I'm not understanding what you mean exactly.
It would take fffffffffar to long to explain why our souls are here to learn. If this topic pops up in a few weeks then i'll comment because i'll have my new voice to text software installed. In the mean time, the best book on this subject is called "The Seat of the Soul". You can see it here. The library should have it on both the book and CD version.
It's not what you do that counts, it's what you are, and what you are is what you think. You are the sum total of all you have thought. Everything that happens happens first in the mind. Communism first existed as a book. The Ford Model T. existed first on the drawing bord. All civilization, every good and bad thing exists first in the mind and we then give it form by creating a physical or structural semblance of it. We are here to learn how to think...this is how the soul learns.
I think that Mission to Mars is a great movie, and the way it ended was very good.
If you've seen it, then you know how this pertains to this thread. If you haven't, you probably dont have a clue.
The soul does not need a brain (or any other organ) to learn.Quote:

Everything that you listed pertains only the this world.
Thanks Fruitloops. I think i'll pick that up. Not that hollywood has any idea of what they are doing, but at least it will b entertaining :)
OK new theory....
What if weve all did bad things, and this is Hell, and we don't know it. THats something to think about.
So then that would make Bill Gates the devil right? :DQuote:

ok, how about this?
why does everyone have to come up with a reason for humans to be here? if there is a "reason" (reason being the ability to think and have opinions) then a higher being musta have put us here, nature does not have "reasons", unless you think of mother nature as a higher being. ok this has nothing to do with my opinion...
my point is, maybe there isnt a reason for us to be here, maybe the world evolved from bacterias to mammals to hominids to humans, and thus life is a biological function, not a reason. our ability to think has allowed up to form societies, morals and ethics by which we are regulated. WE formed the concepts of good and bad, WE created the concept of hedonism and altruism. thus the "reason" for us being here is whatever we want it to be, since its OUR lives and only WE can live it. My reason in life may be different from my neighbor, but both are legitimate and valid, EACH INDIVIDUAL LIVES LIFE AS HE/SHE CHOOSES, and if not, a very sad life it would be.
The flaw in that is that there simply is no link from one species to another, only within species do we see this kind of development. Another thing to concider is that mankind may not have been first started on this planet, but that's a whole other subject.Quote:

If this is your idea of Hell, then... Hell's alright. There's plenty of happiness to be had, so I'm pretty sure we're not all damned sinners spending eternal life in Hell.
oh yeah about the different species, i just tried to picture evolution from its basics. sorry if it wasnt clear enough.
about humans not being in this planet? ok, ill take that into account:
wherever we came from, be it mars, venus, earth or another galaxy, life is still life, and we are in control (here goes my previous post)
and if someone goes the matrix way and says that life is just a dream, well, then try to have the best dream you can!
To a certain degree, but not totally. Id say about as much control as driving a car over ice.Quote:

oh yeah another thing, this brings me to one of my previous posts in this thread.

well, you have a point. there are too many factors in life that affect our ways of thinking, of acting and in decision making. but we have 2 things also:
choices
the ability to make the final decision (unless youre killed by someone else or mother nature, but we were in control up to there, those are just 'freak' accidents)
if we are not in control of our lives, who is?
destiny? (then read my footer)

I don't really know. Were all here, and were all doing something, and I want a sandwich,
