Monty Python?? Anna you started this thread 6 years ago. Shouldn't you all be starving to death by now???

Anyway, of course there is a greater reality beyond what we are able to perceive. You are pretending that this means multiple realities exist but that not a normal use of language. Even to simply posit the physical realm is a simulation still only implies there is 1 reality. When we invent...

Well it seems emotional should fall under the spiritual category. I think most of us would agree that the spiritual parts of us are just the parts that are not made of matter?? But what exactly do we mean by "not made of matter"? Does it mean not made of atoms or something smaller, like neutrons...

It could be that the technology exists one day that will allow us similar observation powers. I have recently read that we can actually look at someones brain and tell if he is a musician. I think that is fascinating. In 2019 what was called a landmark study involving fMRI image reconstruction...

AMAZING!! Wow!! This is the greatest post I have ever read in my life! You Sir, have won the internet. Us imbeciles have a lot to learn from you, that is for sure. Let me be the first to congratulate you!! For I moment I thought I must be reading Origen or perhaps Gregory of Nyssa, but no, it...

Agreed!

That's a good point. But if we were only physical beings, then wouldn't that mean we would only be judged by our physical abilities?

I am not asking you to distrust reality. I am asking you if you believe that a greater reality exists beyond what we are currently able to experience.

Alight, fine. Have it your way. You mean despite all the evidence that everything we currently experience of the physical realm is virtual reality which the mind compiles through the interpretation of electrochemical data streams? Oh ok. Then point to me a location in the physical realm where...

Wouldn't it be better if you just apologized to everyone and promised to try not to do it again? The world is a terrible place enough already, what have you got to lose?

I don't mean to brag but I am telling you, I didn't just fall off the cheesecake wagon last night, bud. I don't mind you taking a shot at me but you did it half-cocked, just like RD, now it's time for you to run home to mommy. I love you guys but I am not going to try to help you punch me, just...

Notice that "For the wages of sin is death" does not mean All who die, die from the guilt of sin.

The Bible teaches that infants are not morally accountable. And that is the view held by both traditional Christianity and Judaism, since they began. You are reinterpreting the Bible to solve problems that don't exist. That's not true. Recently a mother and father were walking with their...

I would say that certainly is a good point, Ps82. Well done.

Wow! I did not hear about this!

It's interesting how often parallelisms occur in historical narratives also. Not just in poetry.

Yeah but I don't believe Genesis was meant to be persuasive or a polemic, as people often say. It is just truth.

:D😅😂 Wooaaah..wait a second Doser. Are you saying we shouldn't trust the government?? Hahahaha, no way! :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

I'll try to recap a couple key points that are relevant to the OP, and summarize how this thread evolved from there. First of all, analogous means "similar or comparable to in some way". I'll give you two reasons I view the physical realm as being analogous to a simulated reality, according...

Hedging your bet, I see... Imagine the following dialogue between @ttruscott the retard and a new mother. Mother: "I love my baby! Isn't he precious? Would you like to hold him, ttruscott?" Ttruscott the Retard: "Sure. Hey by the way, did you know your baby may have been sown by the Evil...
