jaephoenix:
A society governed by law and order

Who has the right to set up such laws?

budaatum:
What is your purpose for enjoying the things you enjoy?

I don't know really.......you can tell me?

jaephoenix:
I don't understand

You said self preservation is ingrained in our consciousness.....who is the originator of the consciousness?

jaephoenix:
I thought I explained all this

You've not told me the origin?

jaephoenix:
It doesn't concern me, personally
But we live in a 'civil society' so such actions are abhorred

How do we define a 'civil society'?

jaephoenix:
So you don't enjoy sex, food etc? I don't understand your question
Seems as if you ask questions for the sake of it

I never said I don't enjoy those things.....what is the purpose of enjoying them? Why should armed robbers not be allowed to do what is right in their eyes?

jaephoenix:
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

What is the origin of the order of 'nothing lives forever'?

jaephoenix:
Explain

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?

jaephoenix:
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

What is the origin of such consciousness?

jaephoenix:
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

Why do humans need to enjoy life? For what purpose?

Nice

Obiedun:
You just have to go to your parents in order to make our work easier.

If you actually wanted me to go back to my parents, you would not have told me anything at all....you clearly have all the answers I'm seeking for.....so what God are you referring to and where can I learn about him?

jaephoenix:
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

Why do our cells go through that circle?

budaatum:
Because we want to live, lol.

Those who don't want to live do not struggle not to die. Some of them just go and jump off Third Mainland Bridge and die.

Meaning that people jumping from third mainland bridge should not Even be an issue to be concerned about? Right?

jaephoenix:
Its a human thing. Its called self-preservation. It can be lost though, in patients with severe psychotic depression who have suicidal ideation

What is the origin of self-preservation in humans?

jaephoenix:
Yes

Then why do we burden ourselves with issues of morality on what is good and bad and look for Purpose in life?

MrBrownJay1:
very simple: THE LAW (in whatever country you live in) determines good and evil.
- thats why its considered normal to walk naked in the west while in some other countries its a crime.
- thats why polygamy is legal in Africa while its against the law in the west.
- thats why homosexual sex is illegal in many African country while its perfectly legal in the west.

So you mean humans in governments have the right to dictates to other humans how they should live?

Obiedun:
I didn't not give you the name but your parents did. Kindly go back to them. You are wasting too much of time.

You are the one teaching me here.....why do I have to go back?

jaephoenix:
Nothing lasts forever. Even the houses and cars won't last forever, so why should we

What makes us not to live forever?

jaephoenix:
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

Fine....why do we struggle not to die then?

Obiedun:
Michael simply means who is like God. Which God was your parents referring to when they gave you the name?

I don't know.....you can tell me.

budaatum:
No. I'm saying the living might reflect how the dead lived their life.

In fact, the living often reflect how the dead lived their life when they bury the dead.

All of that is still of no benefit to the person who has died. Does how the Living think about a person who has died affect the person that is been buried?

Obiedun:
It will help both of us because it's then I will know where to start. Your situation right now is confusing. You bear the name of God yet you don't know him and you can't ask the people who gave you the name.

You said the name of God is God.....are you also saying the name of God is Michael?

Dtruthspeaker:
Everyone knows what afterlife means hence nothing like where is the location.

Seems like you have a head issue

So explain afterlife

Dtruthspeaker:
Tithe is not about your idea but about what it is/iwhat it is not.

And people/dictionaries have spelt it out exactly as it is obtained fron the bible so should not have been in issue if not for your pretence or absence of knowing, you should have stayed silent or show how Christians are not commanded to pay tithe in the bible, whereas it is seen in the bible and people have made many many threads saying this.

Ok....I did not talk to you....you quoted me first.....tell me what tithe is and where Christians are commanded to pay it?
