I have to differ. My dog has more soul than a lot of people I know.

Yup. And if you feel guilt, then you have remorse, and if you have remorse then you know the difference between right and wrong. And if you know that, chances are you have a soul. Cheers.

We are not even capable of grasping just how utterly insignificant we really are. Even the entire history of humanity, even should it survive for another billion years will be a totally insignificant non-event in the history of the universe. We truly do not matter at all on a cosmic scale. Trekkor's delusions of grandeur notwithstanding. |

Everyone of us could die tommorow, all of us, and in the grand scheme of things it wouldn't matter not one whit or iota.
What the hell does the universe care? It doesn't. |

I'm sorry you have such a bleak outlook for the future.
No matter what you think of the 'rest of the universe'. We matter. KT

We matter to those who know us and are affected by us. Otherwise... pretty egotistical to think us humans, being as physically and mentally challenged as we all demonstrate, are all that and a bag of chips measured against the universe...

Fixed it for you.

Or fast forward a few thousand billion more years as the entire universe collapses back in on itself and all life EVERYWHERE is totally annihilated in the creation of a new singularity. Or even worse, if the universe endlessly expands until the stars all blink out, one by one, leaving a massive dark empty expanse of lifeless nothing. Our future is 1000000000000x more "bleak" than most care to realize. All life in this universe is going to die, we are all doomed, nothing we do will ever change that fact. Our own doom is simply inescapable. It is therefore impossible for us to 'matter' in any way. I lead a good life, but it's really because i don't want to go to prison. Not because i care about some afterlife or some fantastical concept such as karma. My morality is an entirely practical consideration. Last edited by m21sniper; 08-04-2008 at 03:31 PM.. |

Many folks can't deal with that simple concept. So the invisible buddy was invented and suddenly if we do what the buddy says then we're not "really" going to die. For the a simple person whose life is spent toiling in the dirt, or serving others, life now has meaning. Go on to a better place - as long as you do XYZ with a smile. Peace and power is restored.
