Michael547: Does the fact that I don't love something automatically makes it wrong? No. The point we are trying to make here is 'Do no harm'. Harm is anything that impacts negatively on another person. |

budaatum: At least he asks questions. Lol.
He could be here telling me to believe a YouTube of a dead person refusing to die, so I do appreciate him, especially if he pays attention to the answers he's making me dig deep for. Lol. Its a spectrum then. The very gullible who don't ask questions is on one end, and on the other the very inquisitive woke types like Michael. Only that the questions have been answered and some don't make sense |

Michael547: So fertilization is the originator of consciousness? Who is the originator of fertilization? It happens when sperm meets egg? Before you ask how the sperm swam to meet the egg, please read up some embryology, or basic biology. Thank you |

Michael547: So who has the right to decide in human society that armed robbery is bad? Buda asked if you loved being robbed, but you ignored the question and continued asking more inane questions |

Michael547: I have read your explanations......you have not explained how consciousness originated? Did you read the part I said consciousness starts the moment fertilization happens? |

budaatum: I say. I said it above early in our conversation, and I gave reasons why.
Please go back and read it if you missed it, and quote it so I know you've now seen it please. The guy keeps on asking questions that have been answered and asks questions that don't make sense |

Christianity Etc › Re: The Afterlife- Fact Or Fallacy? by jaephoenix(m): 5:26pm On Jul 09, 2024 |
Michael547: You've not told me the origin? Consciousness is the ability to be self aware. You can lose consciousness when knocked out. It starts the moment we are conceived but we are not aware of it til about 3 yrs |

Michael547: You said people who don't want to live do not struggle to die.....meaning that death is normal and anyone who is tired of living can just go and jump over the third mainland bridge and die. So why should people Taking their lives actually be of concern to us? It doesn't concern me, personally But we live in a 'civil society' so such actions are abhorred |

Michael547: Why do our cells go through that circle? It follows the order of 'Nothing existing forever' Our cells live on limited resources. And we need to give back to the earth what we took from it, which is our body |

Michael547: What is the origin of self-preservation in humans? Its what is ingrained in our consciousness. Lets say its a selfish streak all animals, including humans have. We love food, sex, money etc. So we try as much as possible to live to enjoy them |

Michael547: Then why do we burden ourselves with issues of morality on what is good and bad and look for Purpose in life? Morality improves the quality of life. For example, living in an area filled with armed robbers would make one fearful and live a fear-filled life. Now imagine if there is less armed robberies, one can then enjoy life |

Michael547: What makes us not to live forever? Our cells live and die, and new ones are created, and after a while this process of re-creation of cells gets weakened, or error prone. Our organs gradually weaken and we die You start dying the day you're born |

budaatum: What is even more terrible is them asking me to ignorantly stupidly gullibly believe them.
How people can be so deceptively evil is way beyond me. Its called herd mentality. Most Africans believe stuff that are stupid because everyone else believes it. Their defense is 'they can't all be wrong and you are right'. They ignore facts, logic and evidence |

Michael547: So you mean our purpose is just to live? If yes, why do we die and why is there so much suffering? Death is important. Our corpse is a source of nourishment for many organisms which is important to the ecosystem. Besides all of us can't be alive |
