    The purity of the Utopian Light at times points to genocidal cleansingZzzoneiroCosm

    The Purifying Utopian Light used to Cleanse the dirt... To wipe it away with Zyclon B, the final solution in the final Wannsee analysis. To be applied in a refreshing shower...

    Jesus Fucking Christ and Mother Mary... What image... :scream: :death:

    Indeed heaven and hell in an unlucky marriage.

    No rationale at all, just manifestations of wishful protections against primal fearsuniverseness

    Are these what you mean by rationale and logic behind theism? Protections of primal fears? How does God protect against primal fears?
  • Ergodic and Butterfly Theories of History
    The familiar example of the latter is for a butterfly to behave differently in Asia means storms later in California rather than fair weather had it not changed its behavior.jgill

    Not sure if this is actually true for a dead weather system. It needs life for substantially changes. If the butterfly accidentally moved in the room where the people resided of the Art Academy in Wien, and the guy who refused Adolf Hitler to join in was distracted by the butterfly, and AH would have joined, history could have been quite different.

    Ergodic theory says that in a system of particles every particle eventually visits all spots in the system. You can investigate the walk through the park of one stroller many times, or you can look at all strollers at once. Ergodic theory says you get the same distribution of walks.

    Exactly! Saw it in "der Untergang". Not the exact words. But more or less. The thousand year Reich...

    But wasn't Das Tausendjährige Reich also a "utopian" project? :brow:180 Proof

    "Speer, du bist ein groß Architect. Tausende Stunden haben wir verpasst mit dieser herrliche Macquete. Keine Wolkenkratzer oder Hotels, aber ein Mttelpunkt. Ein Schatzzimmer voll Kultur. Das Volk braucht so ein Mittelpunkt. Diese Macqette zeigt wie es sein soll. Ein große Dom ins Mitten. Marmor Palazzen mit Kunst und Kultur. Das Germania für kommende tausend Jahr. Das ist mein Traum und das bleibt mein Traum!"

    What then are the rationale and logic behind theism? What's the rationale behind the divine spark, so to speak?

    Saw Ricky Gervais yesterday. He's got a way with atheism! Laughed my pants off!

    God:
    "Let's create AIDS creatures...
    Don't like the sight of them gays in each other's a***s!"

    God finished creating them

    "So, little divine creature, when on Earth look for them gay a***s."

    "Why why why?"

    "Because that where they contact"

    "Why why why?"

    "They're weird! Don't like them! So enter and when a d***k enters jump in! But some must stay. If I know them well, surely another enters!"

    "Yeaeaeaeahhhh....!"
  • Action at a distance is realized. Quantum computer.


    It is definitely true that a measurement on one part of system with spatially separated components doesn't influence a measurement on the other part but the outcome of the other part is fixed still. Of course you can't know what is fixed because the observer on the other side had to send that information FTL. Which is exactly which is not possible! The only thing the other observer measures is what you measure. He would know what you measured. Which is based on chance. So no useful information can be sent. Any popular shoutings that information has been teleported (and there are myriads!) is empty shouting.
  • The American Gun Control Debate


    So in Canada the number is about four times as small. Is the number homicides per year four times bigger in the USA? In Canada, about 800 murders are committed annually. What about the USA? 3200?

    I don't see much difference between the plausibility of the tale told under the movie tile matrix and the tale told under the theistic titles 'bible,' 'quran,' 'torah,' 'bhagavad gita.' or 'fairy tales by Hans CHRISTIAN Andersonuniverseness

    The bible is the best-selling fiction novel ever! Still, how can we ever be sure of the non-existence of God? One might lay the burden of proof on the faithfully, but what if their default state is Gid+Universe. Why should they prove something in the first place? Does the atheist have to prove the non existence of God? Which would be rather difficult though. How you proof something doesn't exist?
  • The American Gun Control Debate


    Then it has considerably increased since I saw Michael Moore's documentary. He entered Canada and an interviewed Canadian said he always felt relief when coming back from the US. It was said the number of guns was comparable. Now you can compare everything, that's true... Especially Michael Moore.
  • The American Gun Control Debate
    Yesterday, I saw the news of a school kid who killed 20 people at school. Why does this happen so "often" in the USA? In Canada, the number of guns per capita is even higher than in the states. But the number of homicides a lot lower.

    That remains to be seen. The Aristotle apperception of an unmoved mover can still be applied. The unmoved mover being a physical entity.
  • Action at a distance is realized. Quantum computer.


    Realism and non-locality are compatible. A wave function is a non-local real causal fork, correlating distant measurements.
