Nothing can be proven not to exist.

That was my point.

But while it's not possible to prove the Flying Spaghetti Monster doesn't exist, it's also not reasonable to believe He does.

And for the same reason, while it's not possible to prove that mysticism is self-deception and wishful thinking, after a hundred years of looking for it with controlled tests and not finding a shred of evidence that it's for real, it's time to throw in the towel.

2) You can't have an abortion no matter how much you don't want a child.
3) You can't have a certain plant in your possession or you'll get locked up with a rapist and a murderer.

4) We need a smaller, less-intrusive government.

We have a lot to learn about how our brain works... I don't think scientist will give up just yet... even in that field.

There's plenty to learn about the brain, but magic has been tested and tested and falls flat on its face every time.

Hey, you can bash all other faiths but NOT MY FAITH ASSHOLE!
FSM DOES EXIST!! I'm leaving bye! I can't live in a world of people who don't accept the flying spaghetti monster!!!1

On a serious note, I'll drop my argument. We obviously are on the same side of this mysticism discussion.

Isn't it common knowledge that having a belief and a positive outlook helps people recover from illness quicker and more often? Just like having a pet dog helps people live longer, just because it makes them happy.

We care because believing in lies is always bad, and not just for the believer, but also for the rest of us.

Check out this list for a few reasons why.

Because of things like George W. Bush publicly condemning stem cell research on the basis that it is incompatible with his religious morals. Stem cell research would bring about a revolution in the medical field.

You should become president so we can all research stem cells and save thousands of lives that should of died and fuck up the world balance even worse.

IMO any medical help besides applying pressure to a bleeding wound or maybe a little antiseptic is bad. People need to die, or else eventually we will be forced to kill off people when the world becomes horribly over populated. After the resources run out people living longer than they should of is eventually going to kill more people than what should have died naturally in the first place.

I personally care about others opinions if you take the fact that people kill in the name of religion aside. I would love it if someone could prove to me the existence of some god and persuade me in why I should do what the god says is right to do.

As for the mind affecting matter....I kind of believe it could happen... don't know why, just a feeling not a belief really. I have this feeling that we could use our mind a lot more than we currently are. I red somewhere that we are only using a small percentage of our minds possible potential. Who knows....?

Maybe...but nature has a way of setting things straight. Ever seen how some organism have adapted to their environments after many many years? Ever noticed how the tendency has developed for more people to turn gay?

So then you would logically oppose people having faith, because it might give them a positive outlook and make them recover from illness more quickly.

+ We are part of the world's balance and most probably as we have the option to not research stemm cells to help with the balance, some else civilization or state of matter may have the option to slowly eliminate us with various ways like diseases for example. All technology is good, I love technology but if and only if you set a limit to it.

Don't put words into my mouth. I never said that people need to die as quickly as possible. What I'm saying is that I dint feel it is right for scientist to make body organs in a lab and things like that, it is way too much.

- To the other guy about people evolving to become gay, thats not true. People are not evolving to be gay there are just more people to be gay.


One of these days when every inch of this planet is populated like Tokyo and huge famines break out and 3/4 the world population dies of some weird disease people will re think how good of an idea stem cell research was.

The other guys nick is Shroomerious. What relation are you making? More people compared to the past. That is called evolution.

"One of these days when every inch of this planet is populated like Tokyo and huge famines break out and 3/4 the world population dies of some weird disease people will re think how good of an idea stem cell research was. "

You have some facts for that relating to stem cells? No. Thought so. Stem cells are good if and only if, as I said, you put a limit to their application.

It will never happen, but hypothetically I think it would be a good plan to implement both stem cell research and a legal birth limit.

No dude, im saying that 1 guy in 10 being gay is the same as 10 in 100 being gay.

Theres not more gay people theres just more people thats not an evolution.
