I was wondering what the opinion was of Christians and indeed anybody else who believes in the human soul thinks of the implications of human cloning? Not just whether a clone would have a soul, but whether you believe a human clone should have the same basic rights as born human?

From the answers I've been reading and from responses I get, I see that people enjoy beeing cruel to each other and answering each other's questions in an insulting and harsh manner. Why are people doing this? would they enjoy themselves to receive answers with wickedness? whould they respond with the same harsh language to people in person?

and even if you beleive uncontested, without a doubt, EVERY word of the bible conciously---

the ancient sea scrolls....many of them, are missing.....the bible is a compilation of "apocrypha" of different writtings....most of it written way afte jesus's death...Not even by those who witnessed jesus himself!!!!

so how can you be certain in the message of the bible, when its inherently incomplete??

One of the apostles may have had a message (given to him by Jesus), which was similar to "doubt and the humility of not knowing God"

and that the words of God is inside us, not in a book, that the bible was only a "guide", a human written book.....but since such message was not compiled into the bible because the chuch wanted to gain pure "authoritarian" control at the time...it was scripted out, and you do not see it today...what then? what if there was a message?

Or is that the circumstances in one's life decide the "Right " and "Wrong"?

If these 2 both commonly accept statements are both true..then can you not logicaly assume that the following statement is also true.
Knowledge corrupts and aboslute knowledge corrupts absolutly.

If this were so then the very act of "learning" is corrupting us?
Yes? No? What do you think

To unravel the tangled web, is something mankind finds competitive. Be that as it may, could it be at times we create many of these conspiracies just to pose a threat to compete with others? Don't some people steal just to see if they get caught?
Dont some people do this, as if they are cheating at the Monopoly game? I wonder if the challenge is all some of mankind is living for and that we get trapped in this web and it becomes too serious and then there is no way out until we stop playing the game? Just curious to see what would happen if we just stopped playing these ridiculous power plays?

The meaning of life is the pursuit of happiness. Within our lives, individually, we seek nothing else other than pleasure and happiness (short-term or long-term) to keep us going. We do not live to go to work, class, or whatever. These are means of attaining some sort of happiness. Example: If I don't go to work, I will not have a roof to live under--hence, happiness will be hard to attain (for most people). So, what motivates us is the short-term happiness we seek (i.e. I have a hot date tonight!) or long-term (i.e. I want to find love, I want to see my sibling succeed). Everything else, whatever it is, is a means to this end. Whatever happiness is to the individual is up to them, but the only reason we live is to experience this--not to toil, experience sadness, or to reproduce.

What do you folks think? Agreeing is a viable option, but feel free to expound!

Like "The Wall", or "Brain Salad Surgery" doing a parallel on a study for music therapy and need opinions on the works of Pink Floyd and what message you get from for instance "all we are is just another brick in the wall". And "teacher leave those kids alone". " Or " Do you want to be an angel do you want to be a star? Do you want to be the magic on my guitar? Do you want to be the pillow where I lay my head? You could be anything. But it really doesnt matter for it all gets so intent, and from my experience, it just doesnt seem to make sense, But still you turn me on" Can you wrap your mind around those statements?
And get a philosophy of your own in your own like or world?
