Why do we have illusions if there is nothing to look forward to. Why does lies exist, why does truth exist, why those illusions acquired in a world where there is only energy and matter, cold and empty?
Your thinking too highly of earth and its intellegent life.

Stuff like earth has been happening for an infinite amount of time.

Firstly dolphins arent the next smartest animals.
And, i do not know the way dolphins live life. If they are social creaters who survive in packs, then its because they evolved that way. If they do not survive in packs, then its because they evolved without the help other dolphins would give
Yeah but they have sonar, you can't beat built in sonar.

Ask liars. Are you insinuating a "perfect" being created lies? People just say shit that isn't true to get what they want.

Truth = fact. Don't let religion double-talk you into believing otherwise.

I don't know what world you live it, but there's more than cold and empty in my world. We're full of imagination/psychoses/desires.
Yet it all ends.
I'm personally having a great time with this whole life thing and am not looking forward to it ending. Sucks, huh?

This is reality, and it does happen.

Energy takes the form of muscle, tissue, cells, blood, neurons.


I agree, its an incredible chance that raw, unintellegent energy ended up turning itself into something that can study itself.

Thats something ive never thought of.

In this day and age, it doesn't matter if you believe in God or not. You can still be a good Christian/other religious denomination regardless of if you propose the idea of the deity or don't---it's just not an important part, but the lessons of Jesus and such are.

Think about it, how many "religious" arguments are just stupid-ass "God v. no god" things?
@ Narupug, the idea behind Communism and to a certain extent its cousin Socialism is that the needs of the individual be sacrificed for the needs of the many.
That is the main point, but communism is a TOTALITARIAN state, totalitarian states don't like religion it interferes with allegiances. For example Stalin cracked down on the Russian orthodox church in one of his purges.

Fyi, Stalin cracked down on everybody. He was just a cunt. Not seeing your point in general though. We know communism is a jealous system when it comes to belief.

They both propose fairly similar ideas, and thus one can't survive in the presence of another.

Only if you believe it to be that way. Being a Christian is working out for me. I have to be truthful I have been a bit shaky with it, but I do believe Christians in some way stray off in order to solidify their faith.

We have an understanding of the anatomy of every animal, guns, lasers, quantum and astrophyics. We have mastered everything the dolphin can do and can do it better.

My personal philosophy is that Life, death, and everything in between is fricking awesome.  It sounds corny, but I just love everything.  I sometimes sound negative, but that's just because I enjoy arguing with people.  The truth is, I love it.  I believe that all forms of consciousness are just fractured parts of some giant universal consciousness, and that it is all joined together when you die.  Hard to conceive maybe, but it makes good sense to me.

In addition, I had tried to live my life in a meaningful way for many years.  I tried to make my self a better person than I was in a lot of ways.  I considered myself generous and kind.  I gave money and time to those who needed them.  I always felt like I could just keep getting better as a person and I would eventually reach that point where I fealt like I was doing the right thing and would be content with my existance.  Never happened till I looked to God.  I have never felt more fulfilled and at peace than I was dong something I felt led to do by God.
