No, I don't think it does, Master Suho. Maybe we should end it where it now is. I think we've pretty much covered the topic. Maybe BeeKay should make a ruling on this...BeeKay? What do you say? quote:

True... only one question left. There probably would be enough for Beekay to go on.... And things have kind of slowed down to a crawl anyway. |

I posted the final question and some instructions in the formal debate thread. Please head over there and take a gander. This production is almost a wrap. |

Well, I must say, that's a billiant question, BeeKay! And what a way to finish this Debate! I can say, that despite the somtimes seemingly-impossible standards set by Bugs, I sure did have a lot of fun (and a lot of work...thanks, Bugs ). Thanks to all for getting this thing off the ground...kudos to all. |

I think this has turned out exceedingly well, all things considered. I feel more privileged than ever to be an Asylumite. I really hope we can continue this with some other topics... I am really looking forward to just sitting in the gallery throwing peanut shells for the next one. Being a participant is hard work! |

Oh, I couldn't pass up answering that question if I tried, Bugs! Just interested in CFBs (and your) reply! |

Still with us, CFB? I would love to get this one back on track and wrapped up so we can tackle another. No pressure, just a little bump |

Couldn't God exist because we made him exist? You get enough people saying the same thing and suddenly you've got people believing in it that weren't part of starting it. They don't understand that someone started it to see what would happen and won't know when the joke is up. Since this started so long ago I think it's safe to assume we will never know if the Disciples were just playing a joke that got out of hand or if it was real. Who knows. Maybe it WAS real to them. Doesn't mean it was true. |

GrythusDraconis, take all those hypotheticals you just outlined and walk them through what we do know to have happened. I think you may find that some of them become much less likely than at first glance. I will grant you that it is within the realm of possibility it is all a joke but you have to ask yourself how that compares to alternative possibilities. |

Point Taken, to an extent. At least you accepted the possibility. |

That's all quite reasonable what you say. Now the only thing left would be to take an actual look at the data and see for yourself. If you ever do and have any questions, I would be more than happy to share what I know about it. And I do try my best to be fair and objective and I don't consider any honest search for truth to be in vain. |

Ok, the second part will be better, but tha question is really hard. And not in a research sense. I've read a lot of books with facts that an stand up to the highest scrutiny, you people should seriously look into it. And no, I haven't been brainwashed since birth... |

CFB: Take away god, christianity, and all religions that set a way to live, and you'll still have those certain things that are right and wrong, because it's all in human nature. Well, atleast civilized human nature, we all know that it isn't in Bin Ladens' human nature to "not kill," one another. But then again Bin Laden was driven to that by religion now wasn't he? Right... Sadly obvious but true. |

Well you really didn't have to go into as much detail as we did with the opening arguements. Beekay is it alright if I go before bugs? I am pretty much ready for this. |

I'm here. It looks like I'll be the last one to answer the final question. I've been tied up the last couple of days. I'll have my response up sometime Friday or Saturday depending on when I can get enough spare time to collect my thoughts. |

Actually, I was quite shocked by Bugs reply...though I have seen people lose their faith, and become the opposite of what they were before...*shrugs* |
Maniac (V) Mad Scientist From: New California |
posted 09-11-2002 17:22
WS, correct me if I'm wrong here, but being shocked by my reply stems from the fact that you consider faith to be a very insignificant part of life. IOW, someone losing their faith should have no more major impact on someone's life than stubbing their toe? |

Hmmm...now that you put it that way...I guess it would be somewhat like what Neo went through in the Matrix, maybe? |
