Quote from: quadz

(1) As a primate, it seems unlikely you possess any special means to know "the lords[sic] bidding"
(2) Are you sure "the lords[sic] bidding" involves keeping a braindead patient's organs alive on artifical life support?
(2a) Dead brain, artifical heart, iron lung... at what point is it still "life" ? (Every sperm cell is sacred?)

Quote from: quadz

The context of the article concerns when to pull the plug on a vegetative patient evaluated to be in a persistent condition judged to be equivalent with death. (Or, "less than death", for afterlife-believers.)

Quote from: reaper

I don't see what that study points out other than the obvious. The belief that someone braindead is worse of than dead follows the nature of most religions, you do the lords bidding now and you get rewarded in the afterlife. It's only ironic depending on your perspective, and a quite natural perspective says you give life every possible chance, and you do the lords bidding.

Above is the framework used to answer those questions, direct and self-evident from god himself.

And to Focalor, I read a post earlier I'm not sure what happened to it. But who would comfort you other than god if all else fails?

Amphiboly, again.

Won't you please try to form some sort of coherent argument?

How specifically does THE LORD inform you as to the method of determining how long to leave a brain-dead patient on artificial life support?

I deleted it. After re-reading it, it sounded like what I thought was just a bunch of boring self-indulgence, elitist waxings, and unsolicited opinionations. Albeit that my declared religion is elitist by nature, I didn't see that it would further the discussion either, so I shitcanned it.

But to answer the question: If all else fails... then there is only one option. Death. If you find an alternative to death, please let me know. I've met a few people in my lifetime who've told me they read the Holy Bible. They've claimed that it has all the answers to life's great questions. They've claimed that it holds the key to eternal life. They've claimed that they've gained eternal life by accepting Jesus Christ, the only begotten son of God, as their lord and savior.

They are dead now. Looks like they were wrong.

I don't wish to especially single out Christians and call them stupid just because I don't like their brand of spiritual guidance. They aren't particularly special in that department, so I see no need to focus a majority of time on showing them in a negative light. They are no different from the countless millions of other individuals involved in other religions who have sought the answer to the question, "What is the meaning of life?" It seems pretty ridiculous that so many differing religions would focus on subjects like "death" and the supposed "afterlife" when "life" is the thing they want to know the meaning of. They miss the forest for the trees.

Just my opinion. You asked for it, so there it is.

Through the holy spirit. Isn't detailed knowledge of religion one of your subroutines?

Through the holy spirit.

Holy spirit, eh. Like this?

It would seem this holy spirit is rather schizophrenic and unreliable, whispering as it apparently does so many conflicting and mutually incompatible ideas to us primates:

"[Slavery] was established by decree of Almighty God...it is sanctioned in the Bible, in both Testaments, from Genesis to Revelation." -- Jefferson Davis

"It is infallible Catholic doctrine that contraception is a mortal sin? Yes! ... God protects the Church from error in her 2000 years of teaching that contraception is a grave sin against God." -- www.catholic-pages.com

"I feel like God wants me to run for President." -- George W. Bush

etc.

Wow, this Holy Spirit thing is amazing. It's like it never makes any mistakes!

I'm assuming that the anti religion posters are people who believe in evolution.

Question for the evolution people, how did it all start and how did we get to this point
