Yes, firstly in incurring quantum events, we (the molecular world) are expanding the role that chance has on reality. By regulating (perhaps isolating unwanted effects of synthesised chance events) we (the white horses of causality) may be able to interact/create reality around us on a new...

In standard deterministic terms we're talking purely factors rather than variables. Variables only come into it with the element of chance as far as we have reason to believe (although we have little if any reason to believe that chance exists. If it does, it could well be confined to the realms...

If anyone has any objections to it I'm all ears. When I was young, I briefly converted to Satanism (of the fundamentally Christian type). This was partly due to seeing 'the garden of delights' by Hieronymus Bosch. It wasn't exactly idyllic but it looked far more fun than any depiction of...

Well I don't know about you but if the bible's anything to go by, I'd rather be dead and without conscious than have to spend the rest of eternity with the likes of Yahweh. As for free will; here's a guy who's saying pretty much everything I've been saying but perhaps with more clarity...

Yep, there is always the possibility of a possibility but that could be said of anything. Remind me; what do we stand to lose if we take off our free will glasses?

Re: Free Will 'it could also be used as an excuse to act badly.' And what will this 'excuse' buy them? Incentives are there for good reason. There are differences of course. It makes no sense to take comfort in anothers misery, only in the thought that that misery may make them a better person...

Re: Words and their ambiguity I think you'd agree that there's something to be said for allowing room for interpretation in various situations; perhaps when precicion in a situation is less important than brevity but when hackles begin to rise or beforehand, all paries must check themselves and...

Hi Jane, Yes that poor little word belief has been molested by halfwits. The word in my books does not mean 'I know'. There are so many other words that have equally unhelpful ambiguosity or multiple meanings. 'Jewish' is one for instance. How can a person be free of the religious label they...

... why am I surprised?

... let me be the first to say :O .........

Oh yeah, come to think of it I probably could have guessed what 'Latter Day' implies. As for 'Saints', who are they supposed to be? Perhaps there are a few PRAISE JESUS! LDS salesmen who aspire to the title. Holy shit! (apt) These people sound like bonafide nut jobs. Especially his family. How...

Hi gif, Consider; If he wants a person who wants a monogamous relationship, is it really you he wants? My advice for whatever that's worth is that you stop what you're doing and now. You can't hope for a good relationship if you aren't a good person. It sounds as if your boyfriend should have...

Epiphany was it? They can be painful I know. I guessed LDS stood for latter-Day Saints but I wouldn't have been able to tell you what that meant. What would happen to your friend if he came out as Atheist? I still haven't come out to my parents that I'm attracted to people regardless of gender...

Thanks K ;)

I wonder just how many are pretending for their own sakes and for the sakes of their families/friends. Sadly, I think that due to the nature of the beast, the vast majority buy into it and returning to my disbelief in free will; the chances are that if you or I were born and bred in that world...

Yeah, I found a 200x200 but it's still only showing up on the group profile page and it seems that only one out of all the groups actually shows its picture in the group listing and that's gay,bi queer poly group. I wonder why.

Aw, my computer's fucked atm and this laptop doesn't have the necessaries to alter the pic to 200 by 200 pixels. It'll have to wait. :(

Oh, great choice btw! That was the one I was erring toward :D

Thanks Kevin! I had time to read it but after a 12hr shift and another one tomorrow I have no time just now to give you a worthwhile response but I will when I can. Til then then ;)
