Here is Practical Explanation about Next Life, Purpose of Human Life -

[Mefiante]

Let’s see if I can summarise that earlier harangue using the author’s own words:

Nonsense.

One must first understand that … we should logically conclude that … you can … cut it and chop it, and … it is … all nonsense … and … will remain there for thousands of years … Simply waste of time.

Nonsense.

Hmm, not too bad, even if I do say so myself.

… all of you are nothing but brainless, senseless, shameless, foolish rascal idiots.

who are not even able to explain anything at all but simply know it that how to impose bogus nonsense which is based on cheap opinion and 3rd class personal experience.

Aah, I do so love the smell of irony in the morning.  And the afternoon, too.  Come to think of it, the evening and night also.

Mefi...interesting that s/he came back to haunt us poor fools with his brilliant assessment of life and death, logical unpacking of man's (sic) soul and above all his/her absolute grasp of English. Makes one wish for a silver bullet.

[Mefiante]

Ridicule and derision is the silver bullet for such undiluted hornswoggling hogwash.  Ignoring drivel of this sort is also good but not half as much fun.  Note the mounting annoyance in the latest few barrages emanating from our current fruitcake.

No double standards here buddy: You want me to back up my claim with evidence and facts? Why don't you start by providing some evidence and facts for your baseless assertion? You did go first.

now keep your bogus imposing attitude to yourself and

You came here to ask us. And now you'd like to kick us all in the face, and we're supposed to then respect your opinion?!

If you don't want our derision of your aggression and drivel, fuckoff.

[BoogieMonster]

so you mean im still wrong after explaining practical explanation

The only thing you've practically shown is you have no idea how electricity works, and you've never heard of a microscope (poison example).

[Rigil Kent]

If you inject just one grain of deadly poison into someone, he immediately dies. No one can see the poison or how it acts. But the poison is acting nevertheless.

Most people would brush up on some basic biochemistry before embarrassing themselves with such statements. Yeee-haa what a maverick!

As for your inability to distinguish between living and dead bodies, Hairyballs, I can only hope that you consult a doctor before burying (or setting alight) your relatives.

as soon as question of hogwash or brainwashing ? so my `1st claim is this that you are all idiots or you don't have brain at all.

*How ?*
_______________
simply tell me all details about your *`1 cheap minute ?* ( details of every single second that what- what you have thought or done on every single second )

and if you *cannot* tell me about *`1 cheap minute* then how can you will tell me every single detail of your *whole hour, day, week, month, year or your whole life ?*
________________

then what is *use* of this your *so called education* if you cannot tell me or any`One everything *as it is* ?

*and in same way you forgot your past life also and you are forgetting everything now also.*

therefore your mind is not very broad. what is that called ? " Crippled."

therefore you simply utilizing your so called education in nothiog but sleeping, eating, sex, fear and these things are easility found in cats, dogs, and hogs. they are also doing these sleeping, eatins, sex and fear and they don;t requre your so called education in it so where is question of intelligence or brain ?

what is brain rascal dog ? do you have brain at all ? then define it that what is brain ? how you more intelligent then any cat, dog, or hog ?

define what is intelligence ?  and you don't have brain at all you don not know ? that you forgot whatever nonsense you are thinking before one cheap minture therefore where is question is brain ?

define it that what is brain ? and where is brian which you have got ? you are not more ingellitent more then any cat, dog, or hog.

[brianvds]

and where is brian which you have got ?

Here I am. But I have kind of skipped this particular thread because it looks like just so much mud slinging.

Some of the questions you asked are perfectly good ones, and to some of them, there are as yet not really satisfactory answers. But we cannot realize base knowledge on the lack of data, can we? Gaps in current knowledge is in any event not a very safe place for gods to hide in.

As for the topic of this thread: I wonder why we should assume that life at all costs must have some meaning or purpose. I ask myself, suppose I found a definitive proof that life has no purpose. How would this affect me? Answer: not at all. Some people spend much time looking for meaning and purpose. others don't worry much about it. I seem to fall in the second group.

[Brian]

how you more intelligent then any cat, dog, or hog ?

quite simple answer actually: the human brain is over 3 times larger than any other mammal by body mass and has evolved over millions of years to become more and more complicated and many of its interesting properties are still not well understood by scientists. Size is not the only variable to intelligence however as for e.g. Einstein had a relatively small brain. This does not mean some strange god/supernatural being blew his trumpet and suddenly man had a brain....and most certainly the "soul" as you claim and have been unable to prove, does not relate to intelligence.

"Soul" is a religious construct, invented by man in an attempt to make sense of life on earth.
Religionists also describe "death" as the separation of body and soul (Eccl 12;7; Gen 25:17; Jas 2;26) (i.e.the dual nature of man)but they have never been able to prove the existence of a soul....it is merely a matter to believe or not to believe that man has a soul.

Intelligence has been researched and defined by many scholars across the world and this includes animal intelligence and even plants display forms of intelligence (adapting to climactic change for example)....your theory is known as teleological scholasticism, which postulates the immortality of the soul and links it to consciousness and intelligence but this has been largely rejected by scholars such as Hume, Binet, Feuerstein etc.

[Mefiante]

Some of the questions you asked are perfectly good ones…

I disagree — or at least I disagree in the context of how they were presented in this thread.  Most of those questions are age-old unresolved chestnuts that make for interesting philosophical or metaphysical speculation and debate.  Some of the other questions approach being scientific ones but are in need of considerable sharpening up before a scientific approach to answering them can be attempted.  However, our resident Hari chanter has clearly shown much indifference, even disdain, for all of that boring old methodological naturalism/philosophical materialism stuff.  Instead, there’s a rather obvious agenda of false dilemma to this aggressive carping:  “If you can’t provide satisfactory answers to my questions, then — Hey Presto Fasto! — it must all be down to Vedic mysticism’s fifth essence.  What other possibility can there be?”

This guy has zip interest in the kind of information with which sceptics might provide him, and he will forge ahead with his wishful nonsense regardless.
He’s the Indian equivalent of our very own Tellybanana.

So, in summary, had those questions been presented in the form of a genuine desire for objective inquiry, this thread would hardly have degenerated so rapidly to its present state.

Hairyballs, the only thing in your ramblings that I found interesting was the surprisingly small dimensions of the soul. Can you please let me know how one can go about measuring the soul so I can check it out for myself?

Thanks in advance.

Rigil

ETA: I have a plucky 400x student compound microscope (regrettably sans oil immersion lens) in my bedroom, and a vernier caliper in my workshop. Would that suffice, or will I need more advanced equipment?

ETA2: I expect the most challenging part would be to coax out the souls to isolate it. What type of bait does it prefer? What must be the mesh size of my net?  Also, do I have to catch a single person's soul, or can I catch a school of souls by, say, chumming the outside of a mosque or church building? Many souls would of course be advantageous, because then an average size can be established.

  I think he / she / it would get better answers from us if (a) one question at a time (b) no rambling from topic to topic (c) keep it nice - don't call people names (d) use something like Grammary Lite to help with the English. 

[BoogieMonster]

Yup. It's the sheer WILLFUL ignorance that makes me refuse this moron's questions.

If (s)he thinks education is evil, I will not try to educate them. This is futile.

So far all I've read is:

"I have no idea how anything works. Knowing how stuff works is bad. Therefore god exists."

[Rigil Kent]

"I have no idea how anything works. Knowing how stuff works is bad. Therefore god exists."

Excellent summary indeed! In fact, such resignation-ism is so commonly held by all flavours of woo-pushers that there really should be a single word for it by now. Any suggestions?
