In reply to: Damoclese 's message, "Sarah Lee made" on 02/28/02 12:47pm

I, ozboy the condecending, pontificate thusly.....

from Damoclese: Ozboy, master of insult, >>> ...in your opinion! .. thanks anyway! but i have more training before I become a "master"! (that's a joke Damoclese)

from Damoclese: holder of opinion >>> ...pardon me!

from Damoclese: without sustenance. >>> in your opinion.

>>> ok! ... before we go any further ... you may find my replies curt or unwarrented under the context of Ben's board....

...but I could easily accuse many here of not supplying evidence on a particular topic sufficient for me (or anyone else) to believe, and the same is true for me in some of my arguments!
__________

from Damoclese: Should I be so fond of human life over animal life for any reason you can think of?

from oz: remind me never to kick your cat!

from Damoclese: More fun from ozoboy's corner.

>>> .. even though my nick is not ozoboy I shall reply ... this is sarcasm ... it is a way of answering your question firmly and honestly but in an indirect way by giving a hypothetical comic example designed to make you think about what you said.

... ie you say " Should I be so fond of human life over animal life for any reason you can think of?" ... this would indicate that you place the same (or greater) value on the life of your pussy cat (an animal) than you do your own life or the life of a loved one, or even my life! ... therefore, should I visit your house and endanger the life of your hypothetical cat (by kicking it)... you would consider ending my life in order to protect the life of the animal.

from Damoclese: Uh, how is sentencing someone to rot in prison until they die any different that executing them? Either way, you are determining their death.

>>> ..this is to say that your mother determins your death by giving birth to you.

from Damoclese: This sounds romantically poetic

>>> thanks! ... but is that good or bad?

Epilogue: When I die I will feel the same as I did 9 months before I was born. Just as I did not exist before I was concieved, I will not exist when I am dead.

... so you imediately want to know if I can prove this? ... this cannot be done in one post ... but I will begin by asking this question:

Name one religion, past or present, that does not involve the entry to an afterlife through worship of something that is not tangible or agreed upon by everyone?!

plus ... your replies indicate you don't understand my posts, yet your titles belie this?
