Reply #15: Are you trying to tell me ...

That there is any challenger to the Flying Spaghetti Monster?

Are you trying to tell, me, even though there is no communication possible, whatsoever, that the Giant Blue Transcendental Destroyer of Faith and Hope is not the Messiah at the End of Time?

Would you dare to imply that the currently submerged, Leviathan Sculptor of History and Existence, is not on our event horizon as history ends and we face the naked revelation of the final moment of unabridged novelty?

Well, you can do that if you think you exist. And well you do. I don't exist at all and know that for a certain fact, but you can apply your reason and ideas endlessly in order to argue the point. But what is most compelling is that, if I am right, then you are left in the same position as theists and atheists. You can assume my existence from the phenomena that you incur here via text on a forum, (which could easily be a bot) or you can wonder how someone who is certain, beyond any reasonable doubt they do not exist at all, could post to that effect and then entice you to consider that fact and even respond to it.

Do you exist? Well, you are welcome to take that idea you have for granted. It may just be the very cause of all the problems you tend to bitch and moan about as you apply the only moments of consciousness you may have to circumstances you find yourself in, from day to day. IT goes up and down, don't it? It gets happy and sad, depressing, elated, wonderful, hellish, Utopian, joyous, horrifying. Do you get it yet? It keeps on changing regardless of who you are or what the circumstances may be. You are at the crux of factors. You find yourself there and then daydream about nostalgic wonders and potential heavens. Yet, you never seem to wonder much about that constant shift and change that affects your own experience of circumstances and events. It is as if you are supposed to be in charge and control, and yet, you are subject to your personal set of implied moods and emotions based on prefabricated predictions. Just how is that flux a matter of free choice and personal power, then?

We never seem to question the nature of free will and its relation to determinism. I have. The result of that question is important and the result is more internal as it appears to be ineffable. The jury is out on this one, forever. Give it some thought.
