The Dalai Lama in his younger years
how the hell can anyone be disappointed with almost 50 mpg these days?
Another one.
Sorry mate, I have no idea what you are suggesting here. Whoās doing the threatening? Whoās never promising? Honestly, if you had any clue about who I am, you wouldnāt have made a statement like that. Sorry.
Pascalās Wager is as much mumbo jumbo as religion itself. The wager suggests one should act as if a god exists even if it doesnāt. Iāve had people actually use that as an argument! I suggest acting on a false premise (i.e., the existence of a god) is itself an injury, particularly when the premise is being promoted by a believer, and the existence of a god, any god, has yet to be proven.
Another simpletonās argument for adhering to the wager is that everything in the bible is good. Hey, itās in the bible so itās got to be good/right. Iām just not big into slavery, and while Iām good with getting stoned, being stoned by others is, under no circumstances, a good thing. And there are lotās of other things promoted in the bible as somehow good. I fail to see the good.
One of the first things you learn in a philosophy class is that one will never be able to prove a negative, that something doesnāt exist, until literally everything about the universe is known. What that means is that it is incumbent on the believer to prove the case for the existence of such a being, not the skeptic to disprove it. Folks have been believing in a godās existence for a fucking long time yet completely failed to prove its existence.
The proof is in the pudding. (I think that phrase has an interesting etymology. What can I say, Iām into food!)
I act under the premise that there have been something like 4,000 various divine beings humans have alleged to exist and none of them have evidence to demonstrate they exist, so I am safe in rejecting the notion until better evidence is presented.Should any of these divine beings actually exist and they cannot understand my rejection of their existence with such a glaring lack of evidence, well, they werenāt worth believing in to begin with.
I once made a wager with a guy named Pascal and won $5!
Divine!
Philosophy 101 rule 1: donāt argue with a zealot.
Whether or not, the existence manifests through belief. Collective conscience, group think is a definite reality. Santa Clause certainly brings lots of presents for (good ) little boys and girls. Is this proof of his existence? Did belief manifest extra presents ? I think that it did.
When your seedbank sends you 5 year old seeds dried up and only a few germ weak only to die send them this 'Biblical' seed over 1,000 years old grows into 10-foot tree
Does our existential āgroup thinkā that you are high off your ass, Actually manifest the fact that you are high off your ass ? 
Really? Not
?
(I believe thatās the only Pink Floyd song I ever liked.)
On a much more local level, the group here, i.e., Mrs. mota and myself, donāt think, either individually or as a group, that Iām high off my ass. No, we KNOW Iām high off my ass!
Yep, I hates me some Pink Floyd, as does Mrs. mota. Hell, she canāt take Money!
A stoner that hates Pink Floyd and a woman who wont take money ? Holy shit !!! This must be the END TIMES !
