(1)Consciousness is basically a fluke of evolution that came into being at some point in the evolution of life on Earth when some organism evolved the ability to be "aware" and thereby gained distinct survival advantages.
(2) Consciousness is such an utterly amazing phenomenon ( the universe becoming 'aware' of itself) that it is almost inconceiveable that it is just a fluke of evolution. If not for this 'fluke' would the entire drama of the universe have been played out before empty benches? More likely Consciousness is woven into the fabric of the universe itself in some fundamental way.

I personally have my own idea already. I know some will say, both religious and atheists, that humanity is kind and generous. Others will say that we are a crazy one of a kind species bent on our own destruction.
It is my view that the defining characteristic of humanity is HOPELESSNESS! There are a good deal of people that are good. Yet, even taking religion into account, it seems that humanity has always plagued itself with turmoil. Empires have been created and fallen well before Judeao-Christian religions ever sprang up.
Atheists believe that non-belief in a particular religion or entity will make us better, but they are just as foolish as holy-rollers in this view!
Humanity wants to be good but enjoys taking the easy way out and just likes doing what they want just a little more than doing what's right. Eventually we are always our own undoing, with god or without, anyone who thinks this is wrong is foolish.
Anyway, this is just my oponion, but what about yours?

I'm asking this question, because I find in all the Bible preceeding Jesus very little about the here-after.
Jesus says a lot about eternal life, but where did he get his ideas?
The Bible god didn't say much if anything about heaven as a place of reward for good people. And where did the Bible god even say there is life after death?
So I'm wondering where Jesus got his ideas. Replies from Bible scholars and others appreciated.

that there is the force of good and the force of Bad. If so is a battle where Bad has the power to beat good? Does this mean it is a equal battle? Thanks for sharing what religion, or belief you are referring to also.
In addition does this scare you?

Judaism, Christianity, and Islam: all religions that just keep giving. Giving violence, hysterical logic, and hostility. The judgemental and unaccepting qualities of these religions make me wonder why far eastern, African, or some other religions don't appeal to people who don't believe in Santa. The people aren't bad, but the religions sicken me.

yes or no and why
the reason i ask this is because sinning is something that you're not supposed to do. BUT if you love god, your sins will be forgiven if you ask for forgiveness. therefore that renders sin pointless!!!
agree or disagree?

I just started talking to this amazing woman. She is one of those people that just "gets me" - we are totally on the same wavelength. We talked for the first time last night and just chatted like best friends for over an hour. She sent me a sweet message last night after we got off the phone and I want to send her a cute reply. Please help!

My bf lost a bet to me in a game of pool and now he has to wear a womans thong. I'm trying to go easy on him by picking something out thats not too feminine looking, but that will still give him the experience of a different material texture and fit from the comfy cotton boxers he always wears. What do you think of this one? And what color should I go for?
Or should I go for a different womans thong? (hes not going to get away with wearing a guys thong either) Im trying to get as much feedback as I can so I can make a good choice!
