1 - I know it's a cliché .. But when you REALLY get it.. All those years of your childhood memories never happened. Existence knows nothing about past and future. Even the present is unstable. Can you grasp it or catch it? It keeps changing. Turning Into a past which never happened. There is no past and no future and no present. Man that's trippy af. 2-why do we kill bugs and insects? Do we believe that we as humans are the center of the universe? What difference is actually between cats, dogs etc and humans? If every creature has equal value from the universe's perspective.. Then what difference between Hitler gasing the Jews and between humans gasing chicken for dinner? Do you realize the double standards and bias we have?

I respect that. If someone can present a flawed argument and bring in new facts, and will immediately integrate that position and distance themselves from their previous stance on the matter, then I will appreciate it. It is never an ego thing with me. And I apologize if I sound harsh or insensitive Its about what is actually being said not who is making the argument.

We are on an online forum.. the lack of body language, facial expression, and real, human to human contact, makes it so much easier to bitterly argue, rather than civilly debate, or simply listen, and not feel compelled to toss your hat in the ring.

Another Nihilist just entered the chat

But I said in the very next sentence that science shows that animals suffer from kinds of emotions as well. Some animals can have depression. Just the other day there was a cat in my back alley comminted suicide because she lost her baby kittens. Sorry im on my phone I can't unquote.

What is puzzling about it? You said humans suffer more than animals because they have emotions, something that animals don't have. And I said that we can't switch the roles and become animals for few days to know that.

But all of that is off topic and irreverent if you actually cared to continue reading my initial post which had nothing to do with solipsism or the fact that we can't experience another beings experience. You quoted one sentence, then misinterpreted it and came up with a completely flawed conclusion about what was actually said. I know It is easy to be a keyboard warrior or an armchair champion when you don’t have to acknowledge your opponent face to face. Anyways that point like I said is irrelevant. If you want to discuss the rest of my initial post which was about comparing animals to humans when it comes to experiencing pain.. You're welcome.

I didn't say that. You dreaming of your old house proves nothing about the existence of the past. You are just not conscious of how you are imagining the past as a concept. Idk wth are you talkin about. I just stated a fact. You can't experience my pov from yours, can you? This is just a fact. Has nothing to do with solipsism.

All perspectives happenen now. Again, you have to first imagine a perspective. The past comes out of the present.. Not the other way around.

So the metric of supremacy is intelligence? They eat bats and snakes as well. Believe It or not.

What exactly does that prove? No difference objectively. But all the difference In the world subjectively.

Don’t know. I can’t feel other animals emotions, let alone other humans. But Based off science though, human emotions don’t seem to differ from animal emotions much. Animals can feel empathy, sadness, happiness, anger, depression, about as many emotions you associate with being human you could think of.

1-Nothing "happened". Notice that memory is just a thought. "but it comes close to what actually happened" =another thought. The past only exists as a concept in your mind. You have to imagine it first in order for you to say it exists. Do you get this? 2 - says who? As long as those little ants that we step into everyday have a nervous system that can feel pain. Then who's to say killing them is more plausible to God than killing millions of people in world war 2?

@LSD-Rumi cool pic. What does it represent?

They're actually complete opposites They're both specific outlooks on life. If you're a wishful thinking person.. you live your life based on the ideals you have. How you think a perfect world should be. For example: you support the idea that it should rain candy. You spend your days dreaming about it and wishing for it to happen. You even try to think of ways to make it a reality. Realistic people on the other hand.. Are accepting the way things are. You won't try to change anything about the world because "that's how things are". For example: you think it would be cool if it rained candy, but that's a ridiculous notion. It rains water and nothing will ever change that. You don't believe any effort should be made on making this real. Those are extreme examples, but quite clear I think. To summarize: wishful = what could be, realism = what really is. Most people harbor a healthy mix of the two, allowing themselves to daydream, but being down-to-earth enough to know which dreams are really possible and which aren't. So which one are you?

Tonight as I was smoking some good Marlboro Gold cigarettes and gazing at the stars.. I started wondering about what the fuck is the point of it all. There has to be a purpose to creation. God certainly didn't create all this majesty just cause!. But what is the point? Well, here is my humble take on it : The point of life is to experience it. To go through as many experiences as possible. And that's the only way God can know itself. Because the whole thing is that God doesn't know itself fully because it's infinite. So in order to know the magnitude and profundity of itself.. It has to incarnate as a human being to know what it's like to be human. And this might take a zillion billion incarnations. And once it's done with that.. It will incarnate as every animal and even inanimate objects. God is interested in knowing what it feels like to be a chair as much as it is interested in knowing how to be a human. And of course this includes all experiences. The good ones and the bad ones. @Holykael What do ya think?

Here's what I've got at home: two dumbbells that have 20 lbs of weight on them. They can be adjusted. A weight bench with 100 lbs. I also use a stick to do pull up to help me get taller. I do push ups as well. I've gone down from 50 to 200 per day in about two months. I do a lot of running, it's kinda my jam. What I want to know is: what is the best way to increase muscle tone without having to shell out the big bucks to a gym membership? Can I get a body like those kick ass bodybuilder who are on steroids and such? Thanks.

Good for realizing no self. But there is much more to become conscious of than that .

Doctor Sam Robbins (I like to call him doctor Testosterone because he talks a lot about how to increase Testosterone)..,he Says that raw eggs are the best top food to raise testosterone and what comes with it from gaining more muscle and having high sex drive and so on.. Is that "clinically proven" as he claims?

God IS all those creatures. Their thoughts are his thoughts. Again you Imagine that God is separate from its creation .but this is not true and no one in the whole history of religion and theology was able to explain how could God (which is supposed to be infinite and eternal) be separate from the universe. Pantheism always overtake monotheism. An illusion is something that seems like something but doesnt actually exist .like a mirage or a dream . Is a dream real or illusory? It can't be both .if it's illusory then how come it exists? You see ?there are no illusions that exist. Yes it doesn't. That's exactly my point. Not sure what's your objection here is . There are no "individuals "nor "individual minds " for thoughts to occur within . Have you ever cached a thought? Does it exist inside your skull ? No I'm not . I'm just using your own paradigm to communicate with you. Of course There is no such thing as an ‘ultimate’ purpose. In fact ‘purpose’ doesn’t exist outside of the minds of humans . Objects and events all have different purposes for different people at different times. So it's relative in that sense .but since I am God. I'm free to come up with whatever purpose I like .see god is unlimited. An unlimited being isn't burdened by a purpose that he must fulfil. Like an obligation or something. It just wants to experience itself fully. God doesn't have a plan .he doesn't need it .he can manifest whatever he wants instantly.

God's thoughts are the sum total of all thoughts accross all dimensions of every creature that can think. God is in a Infinite mind . Separation is illusory. You can't read my thoughts because I don't have them .only you exist in this moment. God lives one experience at a time. Also, thoughts don't happen inside a mind ." Mind" is a thought. So you got that backwards .there isn't any minds in reality . Just perceptions +sensations +feelings +thoughts +mental images . All occurring in the middle of nowhere. Or you could call it universal mind. But don't confuse it with any human mind .there is only God's mind. Because its Infinite and all inclusive. Remember, God is synonymous with Reality or existence. So if its helpful to replace God with reality ..so be it . My point is that reality is simply Infinite. And so the only "purpose "for reality is to expand forever. But since reality is a Mind and not a dumb physical system..it wants to know itself .and this knowing happens through experience. You can't know what an orgasm really is unless you experience it . Same with God..it's "purpose" is to exist as every thought, every concept,every human ,every animal, every object, every thing.

God Is every human. So all human thoughts are his thoughts. Why are you asking this?

God is everything and everyone. So the answer is yes.

You're dead wrong . Whilst the purpose might be something else other than what I said..but definitely there is a purpose. Contemplate. Look at the perfection and beauty of existence. Is all of that for vanity?
