If trolling and childishness is what you are reduced to hurling at me, then you prove a point.

I'm just looking for religious behaviour here... is there a special diet for the debunked believer?Some cry `Allah O Akbar` in the street. And some carry Allah in their heart.

To answer the question seriously, if it was proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that there was no "god" or "higher power", then I would continue to live out my life as I always have, because I would continue to believe in the eternal life of the soul, reincarnation and some sort of nirvana-like existence.
Practically speaking, in real world terms, I would do what Laz does (cook eggs), but I would be thinking the above paragraph."mono has crazy flow and can rhyme words that shouldn't, like Eminem"

I don't believe that anything can be proven about what happens when we die... that's why there will always be religion.

And how we tackle death.
If we, as a species do not die as regularly,
then we will not need to use religion as a security blanket, so to speak.Comment

I hate eggs, so I'd just cook some bacon, and enjoy my lunch.Just imagine whatever deity/cosmic order you follow and all it's attendant dogma was proven to be unreal...
Bacon just tastes so good.

Lack of proof is useless when you're dealing with the concept of a theoretically omnipotent and omniscient being. You can't possibly second-guess someone whose motives you'll never understand. There's no absolute proof of God either. Believe or not.Originally posted by curtsibling
Please read my first post.
If you cannot get away from the unprovable aspects of your creed for a moment, that is hardly my fault.
I merely pose a question.
And the lack of proof for any deity is just as compelling as the so-called proof in favour.
Faith in an uncertainty is useful for salvation for many reasons, not least of which is that it encourages one to stop assuming one is the arbiter and judge of all truth, and thereby unclouds the eye of the soul.
And don't give me the usual jibber-jabber about primitive superstition and the triumph of science. Science is the investigation of natural phenomena. It has little if anything to do with the supernatural. The confusion of religion and science in the past is not an error commited by me in the present, AFAIK. Feel free to accuse others of "creation science" (Maybe you weren't even going to mention that to me, in which case my apologies. I was just trying to head off a rant before it happened).
And if we do not die as frequently, our own spite and evil will merely drive us to living hell. I'll have to ask Ben, but I believe That Hideous Strength addressed the subject of eugenics/transhumanism at length.Comment

Since when did I have to prove anything?
Your total avoidance of the thread question reflects your minset on many levels.
If you cannot muster the wit to tackle the question, then kindly stop spamming.
