I got to stop drinking and posting but so i guess the question then becomes if it is nothing more then chemicals or relationship based solely on survival then in 50 yrs we would have no need for Love since A) we would be plugged into the Matrix and B) robots will be doing all are surviving for us. Though i have a hard time believing either of these concepts with people belief in Love. Without it then life really has no meaning. Life is then baseless and utterly pointless. So then are you (gwiz&rotten) saying technology will replace Love?
oh and gwiz yeah i know how to use wikipedia thanks!

Um...it's not a conscious decision to have chemicals perform for us...

It'd take thousands to millions of years to get rid of that function. Why do manatees have toenails? It's obviously not necessary for them any longer...however there's no need for them to disappear totally. Unless an individual is born without the "love" function and he or she is able to propagate more fruitfully because of the lack of that function, it's not guaranteed we'll ever lose it. Plus it's just one small part of a complex system.

Just came from a creationist sift.... Raptor Jesus is not amused with this discussion.

have you ever ridden a raptor? it's no surprise he's such a grouch


I'd be pissed off if I had 2 enormous toenails.

what a childish conflation.
atheism=rose pierre's "reign of terror"=atheists want to KILL you for believing in god!
why didnt they go another two hundred years with something like:
see this man?his name is tourqemada,he is nice man who wants you to believe in the lord god.these are his friends who will pull your toenails off and pour boiling oil on you to save your eternal soul.they are nice people doing the work of your lord god,and he IS your lord god right? or do we have to have you sit down in our "special" chair?

conflation:the lazy mans argument.

>> ^NobleOne: but how does it have life?

Notice that you treat life as an object, like hair, or toenails, something which an organism "has". We speak this way because our language has evolved in an environment where religious views, where deities "grant" life, were assumed to be true and our language implicitly makes these religious assumptions.

"life" like "god" is a word which is such an artifact, and its use colors our understanding, even when the old assumptions have been proven false.

"life" seems to imply deity, because the word was created with that implication, but that implication dose not have any bearing on the truth of the matter. Our amassed knowledge of biology renders life much more gray and arbitrary, but we still speak as though it is a feature of a thing.

not sure this was as much a knockout as it was a gauging of the eye with the toenail.

^ toenails, too.

I have had to do this on my toenail a couple of times. Just heat up a paperclipper's end with a flame and stick it through the nail while it's still red hot. It's actually quite painless and takes away the pain that is caused by the elevated pressure under the nail.

I used to work at a computer store and had to upgrade someone's memory so a program they were working with would run better. When he explained that it was bible code software i had to bite my tongue so I didnt accidentally ask him to cut my lawn with toenail clippers.

^woohoo. Is there really anything more to add? Everyone's comments have blown pinky's post into orbit. It's time to make your closing argument now love, cos i'm bored of this continuous circle of reasonable thought. We need more pointless musings and half witted, half processed beliefs to kick-start this thread back into something worth spending any more time on. *picks toenails*

Upvote for having Freddy Kreuger's toenails.

, you just basically described god as a fairy little emo kid! How DARE YOU!!!

In reply to this comment by thepinky:
Where did you come from? I don't believe that God had sex with Mary. I don't believe He gets "jealous" in the way that you probably mean, I don't believe He smites people for not following Him, and I don't believe that He is nasty or grouchy. In other words, where the purple toenail are you coming from?

God had sex, sex with Mary. He also gets jealous and smites those who don't follow him. God is just as nasty and grouchy as any of us.

No all-good, all-holy crap. You gotta do the nasty to get the job done

fuck Guantanamo-
another symptom of a much more dire problem, not limited to anything having to do with the Military, per-se....It's like this ya bleeding-hearts:
To be focus upon, and passionate about, some internment facility involved in nefarious goings-on, and not being able to recognize but a toenail of the hydra, because you are too robotic to be concerned about the heads(and I ain't talking about the bobble-heads that call themselves Presidents, Prime Ministers, dictators or Mullahs, either), is a reflection of their stranglehold on your sensibilities as they relate to $$$, and what drives this buggy...You Do!
*adjusts fur pajamas and throws plastic bottle in furnace


Bandaids on sucking chest wounds....Guantanamo is all in your minds, putties

Can't wait 'til I can (star) quality - wait, I better read the FAQ's ! ....pardon,,,,>

I'm back. My powers are mighty ; I can freeze people in their tracks, demand thumbnails, possibly toenails, but I must leave all the other nails intact.
