I'm quoting...I dunno....like a million people.

Anyway, I wanted to steal the glory of creating a conterversial poll and....yeah just be mean like that.

Where else would we be?

where?

To experience the horrors of last minute christmas shopping

I came for the tacos. *nod*

I came for the tacos. *nod*

*Hands LG a taco*

*Hands LG a taco*

Thanks. :D Have some dip. *hands you a plate of nachos and some guacamole*

Where else would we be?
Good point. If we were somewhere else we would wonder why we were there.

Anyway, who says that we are here at all? :rolleyes:

We're here to kick ass and take names with the world's shortest friggin' pencil!

i'm here because my parents once had sex.....



heh heh every one hates a literalist

cuz we're not someplace else

What's really depressing is that I wasn't wanted here.

As soon as I got here, I got spanked. Very sad. :(

That.s a pool that make sens. But I think we r here just to destroy our Mother Earth... (I am a Hippie)

actually , we might not be here at all...

Lay off the wacky tobaccy until you can see straight, guy.

actually , we might not be here at all...

A possibility I haven't ruled out.

hmmm intresting idear.... you are all figments of my imagnation.... bow to you master..... i'm waiting, after all prove me wrong

A possibility I haven't ruled out.
I have already pointed out this... but if I have, perhaps I haven't... ;)

If you include 42 as a reason you should be aware that this only applies to all Earth inhabitants except for humans; as they are here because a space-ship including the useless part of the Golgafrinchan people crashed here. :p

Edit: Hoppla, this is because of aliens...

The think I enjoy most about quasi-real perceptions of the world around me is the pleasant number of wackos I meet. :)

And I don't care if its an illusion...that whole sex thing is incredible

to be glorious, tasty worm food!!!

Indeed. If that is the figment of someone's imagination, give that person a raise. :)

However, if we ARE really here, and if unlike I, most of you did not come for the tacos, I have an alternate possibility.

Plastic. See, the Earth had no plastic. None. It didn't have the ability to make plastic. At least, not directly. So Earth arranged for us. When we have made enough plastic to satisfy Earth's needs, we'll probably be wiped out and replaced with something less messy. Like ants.

Not to ask that question, just to live.
Personally, I'm agnostic. But it seems to me, with all the world religions, and all the problems they all cause, that none of them are right. That's just my humble opinion. If there is a God, He/She/It/They doesn't make themselves known for a reason. There are plenty of miracles, but I think that if we were here to worship Him/Her/It/They... He/She/It/They would make themselves clearly known, not that all of us would believe it anyway. I think there's a reason for that, and I also think there's a reason that we ask this question. There's something out there, but we're not supposed to know it, otherwise it'd be born into us. I think that everyone has a little bit of truth and that we can learn something from everyone we meet, but ultimately, no one's going to know the whole truth until we die, if there's anything afterwords. So I don't worry about that question. It's a waste of time. You're not going to figure it out, all you're going to do is come up with a bunch of possibilities like you did in the poll.

Why am I here? Because I don't have a date tonight.

But that's okay. I'm sitting here jamming to Nirvana. Gotta love the grunge. :gundge:

I am never going to take seriously anything an agnostic has to say, if an agnostic is incapable of making up their mind about a simple premise such as the existence/non-existence of a diety how can we trust them to of clear mind about anything>? You. agnostics cannot have both ways like some sort of bisexuals of the whole theism/atheism debate. It just doesn't work like that.

By the way did you know that the term "agnostic" comes from the same root as "ignorant"?

I'll make up my mind when there is reason to do so. Wise people consider all options, and to have a set opinion is to stop thinking.

I was once very religious and it opened my eyes. I once served the God I'm assuming you serve, and I have a deep respect for what that religion was supposed to be. I still cling to many of its values. Jesus was a very wise man. It was never with the "sinful" or the common people that Jesus was ever angry with. It was always with the Pharisees, the religious zealots of His day. And unfortunately, many "Christians" today have become just that... Pharisees. They get so caught up in rules and regulations... it becomes a game. And also unfortunately, games are very easy to manipulate, hence the Religious Right. I am agnostic because Jesus has warned me to watch out for wolves in sheep clothing. I am careful what I believe. Just because it is written in a book a couple thousand years old, does not mean I should believe it. Just because some pastor gets up and warns me of fire and brimstone does not mean I should believe it, especially when Jesus came for the poor and brokenhearted, but "His Faithful" could care less for what Jesus cared for.

I am not offended by your comments. I'm going to forgive you, because I am no better than you, and you are no better than me, regardless of what religion we both profess.

Even though I'm a Christian and I'd love it if everyone knew about what Jesus did for us...can we keep the Christianity debates out of at least SOME of the topics? :headbang:

Yup, thats what I am...one of those fancy-dancy Christian Nihilist, just following the tenet (whatever they are) of Christian Nihilism

Sorry :p

My apologies. I didn't know what a nihilist was.

My apologies. I didn't know what a nihilist was, but I'd assume that someone who believed in reason would not stereotype a certain belief or lack of belief.

I am here to chew bubble gum and kick ass.

And I'm all out of bubble gum.

Christian Nihilism: Jesus died for our sins. But we're still wormfood.

Jenn Jenn, no need to apologize...perfectly understandable that a person who would label their self as agnostic would want to defend that position, but personally I find it untenable, either a supreme being exist or doesn't exist and if this supreme being existed it would be known by all and there would be no debate about the matter...again, this is my personal position...thats just me.

As for nihilism...a nihilist does not beleive in anything...not even reason...nihilist are notorious for being inconsistent and not caring about it

Now I know what to get you for Christkwanzhanudan. :)

I am going to statrt that church...

Now I know what to get you for Christkwanzhanudan. :)

More ass?

Oh, I did not just go there.

Sorry :p

It's okay. ;)

I get carried away talking about my Saviour sometimes too. You just can't help it sometimes.

More ass?

Oh, I did not just go there.

Possible responses:

1) *looks down* Don't you think you have enough?

2) Whatever floats your boat. :)

3) No. Bigger boots. :D

4) All of the above.

The universe has no purpose other than what we give it.

I believe we are here to fulfill gods creative wims, and im ok with that, i think god was bored so he made earth. He made it beautiful and perfect then he made people and watched them like we might watch ants and he loved and was atached to his creation.

we are here to pass the time, and because we all have computers..

you did mean here, here..

42? Where did that come from?

Oh. We're obviously here to play bass.

The universe has no purpose other than what we give it.

Oh I totally agree- Hedonism all the way :D

I'm here because a big clown hit me!

The Tick vs. The proto clown (see here (http://tvtome.com/tvtome/servlet/GuidePageServlet/showid-5235/epid-100804/))

Not that I know this TV-show, but I know how to work google.

We should stop worrying why we are here and start being here!

We are here to live! To enjoy.. all that matters is this moment!

I put, "We're here to kill ourselves silly." I just hope it didn't mean, "We're here to kill ourselves, silly." Those damn vanishing commas, they cause me no end of bother.

You really should watch it.... :D




By the way - did I mention you should watch it? :cool:

I say we're here to kick some ass and rule the universe.

We're always competing with other animals and people to stay alive, surely once we subdue all opposition we'll rule the universe. And we'll kick some ass in the mean time.
