What if soemone told you that everything you've evr done has been doen already an infinite number of times? The spider you see on your wall, the papers you agonized over in school. You're just living in a world of infinite madness and nothing you do is ever different than what you've already done.

I started thinking about what a world might be like without sex taboos and restrictions, but with reliable birth control and std prevention. I mean, we’re moving in that direction right? Conventional wisdom is that men want to have sex with as many women as possible to spread their seed, but women invest more into their children and therefore are choosier because they have an instinct to want good genes for their kids.

I read an article that says women are good at finding cues in guys faces as to whether they’d be a better fling or a better provider. Turns out, when women ovulate they are most attracted to men with features that suggest strong testosterone – hotties if you will. However, for the rest of the month, women want men with softer features that are more likely to provide a stable life.

So, if there were no sexual taboos, and instead of being conditioned to want to lock up ours and other sexuality, we were raised to not be judgmental and jealous, I think it might go something like this: men would still try to get as much action as they could, but women’s preferences would tend to divide men into two non-excsusive categories: hot guys for hook ups, and guys who are long term material. In fact, I think they do this now – but instead of doing the hook up thing in their twenties and settling down towards their thirties, they might do both at the same time. Have their hook ups using protection for thrills and satisfaction when they need it, but for the bulk of the month be with their partner and have children with him.

Its not unheard of. Most bird are monogamous in that they have life partners, but most females still have sex with young males with high testosterone during prime fertilization, while an older male maintains the nest and assists in raising – most like because he’s had sex with the female much more over a long period, making the eggs not unlikely his.

So what if our world was organized like this? Would women enjoy it? Would men enjoy it? What role would you most likely fill? What role would be the best/ worst, and why?

The one that basicly IS YOU. Well, my question is: Is that voice coming from my brain or my soul? In other words, when my brain dies, will I cease to exist as me, and my soul will go somewhere else. OR is that voice coming from my soul, so no matter or not if my brain dies, my soul (ME) will always be.
Tricky question, but please just assume that we have souls.

I've been told that eternity is the amount of time it takes a bird to fly all the sand form the Atlantic seaboard to the Pacific seaboard, on grain at a time. And that's just the beginning. Does that sound about right?

I'm not asking you to quote your favorite part of the bible, least of all to show me any hypocritical pity for my being an atheist. I want to see a real argument, one that can knock my cynical teeth right out of my metaphysical face. Go ahead, indulge yourselves in this one sided debate for the best pro-deity argument.
