Object: The purpose of life, the universe, and everything.
Please excuse any spelling errors, it is not my forte'.
You can find God if you can follow some very deep thinking here. I will
try to help you find God. It will require an open mind and it will
change your life if you find God in this manner. It changed mine, it
WILL change yours as well.
1. Acknowledge the fact that you exist. This is the first step. It is
required in order to establish the fact that you (your being, your very
self, the part that makes you YOU, we'll call it your soul, your
conciousness) exist. You can say "I think, therefore I am." You must
come to accept this existance as HARD "self-provable" FACT. You exist,
reguardless of the world around you. The world may exist in any number
of ways or possibilities. It is irrelevent. The only thing that
matters is that you exist. In some fashion or another, you exist in
some form or fashion somehow, but exist none the less. If not here,
then somewhere.
2. Since you exist, you have to wonder how you have come to exist. Your
soul (conciousness to an atheist) has the unique ability to leap ANY
amount of time, space, diminsions, plains of existance, universes,
simulators, you name it. It can leap to any form of existance in any
universe or environment that is possible to exist in. It can do this
over any amount of time. For to YOU, it will be, but only the next
moment before you are created into existance again. You may wish to
ponder on this for a few days/weeks. It took me a while to get to this
conclusion, but it is the truth. Don't think that it's impossible, for
it happened to you once (here on earth), it could and will happen to you
again for time is INFINITE.
3. Being that just about any entity, or entities, or systems complex
enough can create you at a whim. This gives each of us a very large
problem. We will exist in some form or fashion from now till forever.
We would be hopping from existance to existance until some entity or
system captures us for their bidding until they or their system is no
longer able to support our conciousness or soul. But once released, we
would simply hop to the next existance with no memory of any of the
previous existances. Yes, the soul has NO memory. The brain or the
apparatus that you are contained in is providing the memory and
processing (thinking) that makes it you. Some of us might wind up with
a creating entity that cares for us. Some of us will not. Some will
wind up in miserable situations that could last millions of lifetimes
worth of time. Where the entity in charge might not have your best
interest at heart. You may need to take a few days more to ponder over
this as well.
4. No one knows how God is created. But let me give you a version that
might not seem so strange and how it could be possible that God is
created. This idea is just to help you grasp something beyond what you
see, hear, smell, and so forth here on earth. Imagine a universe much
simpler than our own. Imagine a universe that doesn't have heat (hot
and cold states of molicules). Imagine a universe that doesn't have
decay or entropy. Imagine a universe that doesn't have complex
interactions of strange particles like we have in our universe. Imagine
a universe that doesn't even have gravity. Imagine a universe that has
only a few basic types of building blocks (molecules, particals,
whatever). These building blocks interact with neiboring blocks in a
way that causes the other blocks to react and in a logical fashion, that
in turn causes other blocks to react and so forth. Imagine that
universe is full of such blocks or units. Maybe even as many or more
blocks in that universe as there are atoms in our universe. Now,
suppose that over time (large amounts of time) that some areas of those
blocks became somewhat computational. And over much more time, those
computations became self aware. And over much more time that awareness
becomes extremely intelligent, perhaps though self thought and wonder.
That awareness became the entity we call God. From this point forward,
we'll call that entity God.
5. God, concerned about all the other self-consious entities that can
and will possibly exist, decides that a safety net, or safe place, is
going to be required in order to secure the safety of those other souls.
He himself is in a safe place, as his processing environment is
secured. But out of love and concern for other soul's well-being, he
created paradise (Heaven, some call it). Knowing that if you already
exist in one universe, you cannot be created or put into another while
you already exist in the first. A paradise would be needed to secure
you from hopping into lesser desired situations.
6. God owes you nothing. It was your own miss-fortune that you CAN be
created and WILL be created. If not by him or his systems, then by some
other entity in another creating universe, in some other time span. God
loves us, but he doesn't want all the rif-raf around him in his
paradise. So we are put here, on earth, for a test of worthyness. It
used to be, you had to sacrifice your best goat or bull to show you love
him. Then you had some commandments you had to follow or else. Lucky
for us, the price to paradise is now only faith in Jesus Christ. To
accept him as your Lord and Saviour, and repent of your sins. People
that are demanding proof, will someday get their proof. I'd say after
the Rapture, God will give them the proof they desire. However, the
price for paradise may go up! God may demand proof of THEIR worthyness.
Say, make it through tribulation (7 years) and if you are still on
God's side (no mark of the beast, etc.) then that might be proof enough.
That's just speculation there, take it at your own risk.
7. Once you have come to BELIEVE in God and his son Jesus Christ, then
your life will start to change. It will change for the better. I'm not
saying it will change for the easier, only for the better. My life
didn't get easier. Only my purpose for my continued existance here on
earth has changed. My new purpose is to help bring others to Jesus
Christ so that they too may also enjoy paradise forever and ever.
8. The nice thing about knowing and believing this, is, it gives reason
and understanding of why things are the way they are. I know now, that
the purpose for life, the universe, and everything, is simply to give us
a chance to gain paradise with an entity (God) that truly does care for
and love us, forever and ever. It also gives me a specific purpose for
remaining on the earth, which is to bring at least one more soul to
Jesus Christ.
Just remember, that the price on the ticket to paradise is faith, for now...

I know how I came to exist. My parents fucked one fine spring day, and 9
months later I was born.

3. Being that just about any entity, or entities, or systems complex

No, my parents created me through sex.

4. No one knows how God is created.

You have yet to prove God even exists.

Yes, it would. I would be a slave to delusion. I do NOT want that.

Science does a far better job of that.

OK, I can accept that. I exist, and that is a fact. What's next?

Your soul (conciousness to an atheist) has the unique ability to leap
ANY amount of time, space, diminsions, plains of existance, universes,

<snip>
Ooops! That's it! How did you manage to derive the concept in your
second sentance with the first? It doesn't follow. It is a non-sequitir.
Also, I came to exist by virtue of a successful fertilization of an ova
by a spermatoza - no wonder involved. Certainly, jumping across time and
space has nothing to do with it.
It can leap to any form of existance in any

universe or environment that is possible to exist in. It can do this
over any amount of time. For to YOU, it will be, but only the next

In a message sent 'round the world, Kenneth Lantrip poured fuel on the
fire with the following:

Please excuse any spelling errors, it is not my forte'.

I'm sure that some omniscient deity would help you with the spell check.
Why don't you ask?

You can find God if you can follow some very deep thinking here.

< chuckle ! > I'll do my best, Einstein.

I will
try to help you find God. It will require an open mind and it will
change your life if you find God in this manner. It changed mine, it
WILL change yours as well.

1. Acknowledge the fact that you exist. This is the first step.

Have you ever encountered anyone who disputed it?
....

You can say "I think, therefore I am."

It's been done before.

You must
come to accept this existance as HARD "self-provable" FACT.

Descarte's cogito is not a proof, nor a "self-provable" fact. It is
actually a circular argument.

You exist,
reguardless of the world around you.

Unsupported assertion.

The world may exist in any number
of ways or possibilities. It is irrelevent. The only thing that
matters is that you exist. In some fashion or another, you exist in
some form or fashion somehow, but exist none the less. If not here,
then somewhere.

2. Since you exist, you have to wonder how you have come to exist.

If a person exists "... reguardless of the world around you" and "In
some fashion or another, ... If not here, then somewhere" then that
person would be eternal. Such a person does not "come to exist".

Your
soul (conciousness to an atheist) has the unique ability to leap ANY
amount of time, space, diminsions, plains of existance, universes,
simulators, you name it. It can leap to any form of existance in any
universe or environment that is possible to exist in. It can do this
over any amount of time. For to YOU, it will be, but only the next
moment before you are created into existance again.

Not that you can demonstrate.

You may wish to
ponder on this for a few days/weeks.

Or maybe not.

It took me a while to get to this
conclusion, but it is the truth. Don't think that it's impossible, for
it happened to you once (here on earth), it could and will happen to you
again for time is INFINITE.

Give us a little demo.

You totally went off the tracks here. How do you *know* that the soul

experienced. You've taken your *belief* here and tried to pawn it off as
fact.
Since #2 is invalid, the rest of your argument is pointless.

OK.

You mean imagine stuff. Ok if that is what you are meaning.

It can leap to any form of existance in any
universe or environment that is possible to exist in. It can do this
over any amount of time.

Bzzzt. This assertion does not follow. What you can imagine does not
necessarily correspond to what is real.
<SNIP rest of item 2>


3. Being that just about any entity, or entities, or systems complex
enough can create you at a whim.

Unsupported assertion.

This gives each of us a very large
problem. We will exist in some form or fashion from now till forever.

The evidence says otherwise.
<SNIP rest of item 3>


4. No one knows how God is created.

False. Gods are created all the time. Humans have created scores of
them. They are imaginary beings.
<SNIP rest of item 4>
5. God, concerned about all the other self-consious entities that can
and will possibly exist, decides that a safety net, or safe place, is
going to be required in order to secure the safety of those other souls.
So an imaginary being is going to create an imaginary safe place. You
really need to get a better god. One that has the ability to make a safe
universe would be a start.

<SNIP rest of 5>


6. God owes you nothing. It was your own miss-fortune that you CAN
be created and WILL be created. If not by him or his systems, then by
some other entity in another creating universe, in some other time
span. God loves us, but he doesn't want all the rif-raf around him in
his paradise.

In terms of your story, if this particular god created then you are
saying that it created rif-raf? Your god definitely appears to be sub
standard. You need to make up a half decent god that is less prone to
creating rif-raf.
<SNIP rest of item 6>

7. Once you have come to BELIEVE in God and his son Jesus Christ,
then your life will start to change.

Whoa there. You haven't yet shown that a god exists and now you are
saying that you want us to believe that it has a son. What about a
daughter?
<SNIP rest of item 7.>


8. The nice thing about knowing and believing this, is, it gives
reason and understanding of why things are the way they are. I know
now, that the purpose for life, the universe, and everything, is
simply to give us a chance to gain paradise with an entity (God) that
truly does care for and love us, forever and ever.

Why a chance. A decent god that did care would let everyone in. Again
you have made up a sub par god.

I wasn't actually looking but OK.

It will require an open mind and it will

It changed mine, it

1. Acknowledge the fact that you exist.

OK Done.

Well If you exist and are curious about things - and I am curious about
everything.

Your
soul (conciousness to an atheist) has the unique ability to leap ANY
amount of time, space, diminsions, plains of existance, universes,
simulators, you name it.

Eh? What do you mean?

It can leap to any form of existance in any
universe or environment that is possible to exist in. It can do this
over any amount of time. For to YOU, it will be, but only the next
moment before you are created into existance again. You may wish to
ponder on this for a few days/weeks. It took me a while to get to this
conclusion, but it is the truth. Don't think that it's impossible, for
it happened to you once (here on earth), it could and will happen to you
again for time is INFINITE.

Sorry don't have a clue what you are saying.

3. Being that just about any entity, or entities, or systems complex
enough can create you at a whim.

You are just making random nonesense up now.
Sorry have to tel the truth its how I was brought up.


4. No one knows how God is created.

If it doesnt exist it wasnt created.
Does it exist?

But let me give you a version that
might not seem so strange and how it could be possible that God is
created. This idea is just to help you grasp something beyond what you
see, hear, smell, and so forth here on earth. Imagine a universe much
simpler than our own. Imagine a universe that doesn't have heat (hot
and cold states of molicules). Imagine a universe that doesn't have
decay or entropy. Imagine a universe that doesn't have complex
interactions of strange particles like we have in our universe. Imagine
a universe that doesn't even have gravity. Imagine a universe that has
only a few basic types of building blocks (molecules, particals,
whatever). These building blocks interact with neiboring blocks in a
way that causes the other blocks to react and in a logical fashion, that
in turn causes other blocks to react and so forth. Imagine that
universe is full of such blocks or units. Maybe even as many or more
blocks in that universe as there are atoms in our universe. Now,
suppose that over time (large amounts of time) that some areas of those
blocks became somewhat computational. And over much more time, those
computations became self aware. And over much more time that awareness
becomes extremely intelligent, perhaps though self thought and wonder.
That awareness became the entity we call God. From this point forward,
we'll call that entity God.

You know, I do think that over time the universe became concious - by
giving rise to us. I refuse to call us God though.

Why? Did he get lost? Damn. Omnipotent being...and he can't find his

It will require an open mind and it will
change your life if you find God in this manner. It changed mine, it
WILL change yours as well.

Such as an open-mind about things like baby-delivering storks,
leprechauns with pots-of-gold at the ends of rainbows, unicorns, aliens
from the planet Bob?


1. Acknowledge the fact that you exist. This is the first step. It is
required in order to establish the fact that you (your being, your very
self, the part that makes you YOU, we'll call it your soul, your
conciousness) exist. You can say "I think, therefore I am." You must
come to accept this existance as HARD "self-provable" FACT. You exist,
reguardless of the world around you. The world may exist in any number
of ways or possibilities. It is irrelevent. The only thing that
matters is that you exist. In some fashion or another, you exist in
some form or fashion somehow, but exist none the less. If not here,
then somewhere.

This is, like, a duh.


2. Since you exist, you have to wonder how you have come to exist.

Mother and father.

Your
soul (conciousness to an atheist) has the unique ability to leap ANY
amount of time, space, diminsions, plains of existance, universes,

Cite?

It can leap to any form of existance in any

Sorry, but I don't buy any of this. You've lost me at step 2. And you
have 8 steps? Well, since you were nice enough not to cross-post this
idiocy to any other NGs, I'll continue.


3. Being that just about any entity, or entities, or systems complex
enough can create you at a whim.

Conjecture.

This gives each of us a very large
problem.

In your conjectural world, perhaps. But, in what I liked to call
"reality," such things do not happen.

We will exist in some form or fashion from now till forever.

Um, no.

We would be hopping from existance to existance until some entity or
system captures us for their bidding until they or their system is no
longer able to support our conciousness or soul. But once released, we
would simply hop to the next existance with no memory of any of the
previous existances. Yes, the soul has NO memory. The brain or the
apparatus that you are contained in is providing the memory and
processing (thinking) that makes it you. Some of us might wind up with
a creating entity that cares for us. Some of us will not. Some will
wind up in miserable situations that could last millions of lifetimes
worth of time. Where the entity in charge might not have your best
interest at heart. You may need to take a few days more to ponder over
this as well.

This is all a load of horse bollocks.


4. No one knows how God is created.

I do. God(s) was/were created by folks such as yourself who needed an
easy answer for unsolvable or incnonceivable issues that crop up.
The sun moves across the sky. No one knows why. Only things that move
on Earth are living things, such as humans, and therefore, the sun must
be a human of some sort. Inanimate objects cannot move on their own.
Since no human could produce heat, the sun must be a "special" kind of
human that can produce heat. We'll call this "special" kind of human a
"god."
In order to appease the god of the sun (for sometimes, the sun goes
black! The sun-god is angry!) sacrfices must be made to the sun-god so
it'll shine its light back on us.
All gods follow that same basic pattern. The Christian god, for
instance, was created to explain the creation of the universe.

But let me give you a version that
might not seem so strange and how it could be possible that God is
created. This idea is just to help you grasp something beyond what you
see, hear, smell, and so forth here on earth. Imagine a universe much
simpler than our own. Imagine a universe that doesn't have heat (hot
and cold states of molicules). Imagine a universe that doesn't have
decay or entropy. Imagine a universe that doesn't have complex
interactions of strange particles like we have in our universe. Imagine
a universe that doesn't even have gravity. Imagine a universe that has
only a few basic types of building blocks (molecules, particals,
whatever). These building blocks interact with neiboring blocks in a
way that causes the other blocks to react and in a logical fashion, that
in turn causes other blocks to react and so forth. Imagine that
universe is full of such blocks or units. Maybe even as many or more
blocks in that universe as there are atoms in our universe. Now,
suppose that over time (large amounts of time) that some areas of those
blocks became somewhat computational. And over much more time, those
computations became self aware. And over much more time that awareness
becomes extremely intelligent, perhaps though self thought and wonder.
That awareness became the entity we call God. From this point forward,
we'll call that entity God.

That's a lot of suppositionings. However, none of that is based in fact
and lives in the world of Make-Believe.

5. God, concerned about all the other self-consious entities that can
and will possibly exist, decides that a safety net, or safe place, is
going to be required in order to secure the safety of those other souls.
He himself is in a safe place, as his processing environment is
secured. But out of love and concern for other soul's well-being, he
created paradise (Heaven, some call it). Knowing that if you already
exist in one universe, you cannot be created or put into another while
you already exist in the first. A paradise would be needed to secure
you from hopping into lesser desired situations.

Now you're presupposing your conclusion.


6. God owes you nothing.

Deism?

It was your own miss-fortune that you CAN be
created and WILL be created. If not by him or his systems, then by some
other entity in another creating universe, in some other time span. God
loves us, but he doesn't want all the rif-raf around him in his
paradise. So we are put here, on earth, for a test of worthyness. It
used to be, you had to sacrifice your best goat or bull to show you love
him. Then you had some commandments you had to follow or else. Lucky
for us, the price to paradise is now only faith in Jesus Christ. To
accept him as your Lord and Saviour, and repent of your sins. People
that are demanding proof, will someday get their proof. I'd say after
the Rapture, God will give them the proof they desire. However, the
price for paradise may go up! God may demand proof of THEIR worthyness.
Say, make it through tribulation (7 years) and if you are still on
God's side (no mark of the beast, etc.) then that might be proof enough.
That's just speculation there, take it at your own risk.

Speculation and conjecture.


7. Once you have come to BELIEVE in God and his son Jesus Christ, then
your life will start to change. It will change for the better.

My life is already great and perfect. It cannot "change for the better."

I'm not
saying it will change for the easier, only for the better. My life
didn't get easier. Only my purpose for my continued existance here on
earth has changed. My new purpose is to help bring others to Jesus
Christ so that they too may also enjoy paradise forever and ever.

Proselytizing is against the rules of alt.atheism, y'know. We've heard
all this before and I'm sure we'll hear all of it again. You're
presenting absolutely *NOTHING* new.

8. The nice thing about knowing and believing this, is, it gives reason
and understanding of why things are the way they are.

Must there be a reason?

I know now, that
the purpose for life, the universe, and everything,

....42?

is simply to give us
a chance to gain paradise with an entity (God) that truly does care for
and love us, forever and ever. It also gives me a specific purpose for
remaining on the earth, which is to bring at least one more soul to
Jesus Christ.

For you. However, atheists already have found paradise: It's called
family, friends, neighbors, and the splendor of earth.

Prove it. Odds are that when this body dies, everything that was

collapse from lack of oxygen.

3. Being that just about any entity, or entities, or systems complex

Bice concept for a SF story.

That awareness became the entity we call God. From this point forward,
we'll call that entity God.

Actually, we'll call him the Beyonder, from the Marvel Comics limited
series "Secret Wars" Same concept.

5. God, concerned about all the other self-consious entities that can

That's just speculation there, take it at your own risk.

Then your god acts like an abusive parent. My parents loved me wether
I succeeded or failed. They loved me when I cursed them, slammed
doors on them and did everything in my power to self destruct before
their eyes. The loved me when I came out of this phase.
Love is not conditional! I love my wife. She dirves me crazy
sometimes, even makes me furious, but I would not just stop loving her
for an arbitrary reason!

7. Once you have come to BELIEVE in God and his son Jesus Christ, then
your life will start to change. It will change for the better. I'm not
saying it will change for the easier, only for the better. My life
didn't get easier. Only my purpose for my continued existance here on
earth has changed. My new purpose is to help bring others to Jesus
Christ so that they too may also enjoy paradise forever and ever.

In the last couple of weeks, I've had the following happen:
1. Won tickets to see Queensryche, Testament, Cardboard Vampires, and
Judas Priest.
2. Gotten not one, but two job offers in a field that I love and had
once thought I had lost forever (professional driving)
3. At a Giants game, had two fellow Deadheads come up and give my wife
and myself their Club level seats for free. We had tickets for the
center field bleachers. We ended up right next to first base.
All of this with no intervention by a deity. Amazing, huh?
Oh, your purpose directly contrvines the charter for this newsgroup.

8. The nice thing about knowing and believing this, is, it gives reason
and understanding of why things are the way they are. I know now, that
the purpose for life, the universe, and everything, is simply to give us
a chance to gain paradise with an entity (God) that truly does care for

Good luck. Try Iraq, who lot of souls to be saved there!

Just remember, that the price on the ticket to paradise is faith, for now...

No it won't, you fucking liar. I don't like you any more. Liars
should be stripped naked and thrown into monasteries.

8. The nice thing about knowing and believing this, is, it gives reason
and understanding of why things are the way they are.

There is nothing 'nice' about living a lie and hurting civilization
in the process.


Just remember, that the price on the ticket to paradise is faith, for now...

All kidding aside, your 'witness' was so full of begging the
question, assumptions and outright lies that no thinking atheist would
even spend two seconds thinking about it. It was cookie cutter crap.
Sock puppet nonsense parroted to the believer ilk isn't worth a long
wet fart to atheists.
Now run along. You did your momentous wack off for Jeebus to a
laughing audience and we all know you won.

Deep thinking for a christian is a high dive into a superstitious
cesspool without a reality preserver.

Please excuse any spelling errors, it is not my forte'.

You can find God if you can follow some very deep thinking here. I will try
to help you find God. It will require an open mind and it will change your
life if you find God in this manner. It changed mine, it WILL change yours
as well.

Snip of the rest of Pascal's fucking wager.
Go the ***** away, we have already heard this crap only a few hundred times
before. (And that is just for THIS year.)

I never claimed to have ultimate wisdom. I bow before your deeper
understanding.
