are we all insane or just the religious people?

Question

just looking at Jesus flying around in space without any means of propelling power and having a great time with the angels and sitting at a large table next to God having all to eat....at -273C or absolute 0 degrees Kelvin.....or blow oneself up and become a marter and have 7 virgins to have endless sex......and on and on and on it goes......living forever....after death......what is death if one lives forever?
where do we stop reasoning.....or.....did we ever ?????

Answer 1

There is no temperature in a vacuum. Vacuum has no means of resisting the transmission of energy and therefore has no temperature. This is why vacuum bottles make such great insulators. If something is warm in a vacuum it stays warm and if something is cold in a vacuum it stays cold.

That said vacuum does not resist the transmission of energy so if something is in the path of a transmission of energy, say light energy, it will absorb the energy of that object. This is why Stirling engines work so well with solar collectors in space, not that I expect you to be educated enough to have a clue about what I am talking about.

If something is placed in such a location that it cannot absorb energy being projected through space, such as in the shadow of a planet, then it will not collect energy and it will maintain the same temperature. It will not get cold or hot.

I realize that this is contrary to all the crap you see in the movies or in public education.

Shame that public education works so miserably that people expect they are gaining some clue from watching stupid movies and television shows written by people who kiss a**ed their way through to a liberal arts degree and know absolutely nothing about physics, sociology or religion.

The question itself is so flawed that it cannot be answered intelligently.

Answer 2

Nobody knows. So we have to come up with an idea.

Personally, even though I am Christian, I believe that the idea of eternal life means that when you die, you just stop inhabiting the body in which you were born. After that, part of your soul makes a trip back to Earth in someone else's body. The rest of it--the part that knows everything from having lived 70 years or so on Earth--finds out what this Heaven place is.

So maybe I am insane for thinking about that. But don't you have an imagination, too?

Answer 3

If you think about it, belief in Western religions (some of the Eastern ones have considerably more logic and credence to them) is pretty much self-induced insanity. I mean, whether a person is Christian, Muslim, or Hebrew, they're forcing themselves to believe that there's an invisible man who lives in the sky. That invisible man is all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-seeing. He also set up a complicated set of rules for living (that apparently even *he* is unable to break, despite the fact that he invented them), and due to those rules, the vast majority of people on earth (who he created, largely on a whim) will die and suffer endless torments in a horrible place called Hell (which he also created).

And that's just scratching the surface.....it's not even getting into the complication of Jesus dying on the cross, the virgins waiting in Heaven, or reasons Jews can't turn on a light switch on Saturday.

So yah, to start reasoning almost out of necessity means to stop believing (unless you use your reasoning in a warped way to justify your forced insanity, which some people do, though it always sounds pretty silly).

Answer 4

we all are insane to varying degrees. Religious people are special in that they dont realize they are insane. They live in denial and flense themselves into horrible contorted strange things so they can comfort themselves with their interpretation of what 'normal' should be.

you my friend, are insane. I hope you realize this. Thats ok, I still respect you. I am also insane, just in a different way than you. Accept your madness and be one with it. Its ok if you want to wear womens underwear and cackle and run through the streets and hump streetlights while dripping butter down your bra. Thats OK. Just do it while I can film you and put you on YouTube so I can get more hits on my webpage.

Answer 5

Those are not ideas of 'insane' people, they are just what people have been brought up to know since they were a child, like any Catholic child will learn from the Old Testament and Christians from the New testament, and children learning about Pagan Gods from their Pagan parent(s).
There is never any such thing as truely being sane in this world.

Answer 6

There is always the fearful who need the crutch of religion, and in each " faith " there is always the lunatic fringe bunch, and all this has absolutely nothing to do with reason, logic or facts. Proceeding from there some how human kind, in their search for an answer to their existence and protection emotionally from the universe, sought any myth or fantasy, and created from nothing whatever their individual or group mind set wished to be. Answer....primal fear is most of it and reasoning has nothing to do with religions beliefs.

Answer 7

You're right. We never seem to stop theorizing, do we? But as long as you realize the truth, that we will always try to explain the unexplanable, whether it be through religion, science, or other means: you'll be fine in this crazy world. And I guess we'll never know the real truth until we die, huh?

Answer 8

I think some people just need a means of believing.. I believe without having a go around with the church or a group to tell me what to believe. Sometimes following a group is what works for others.. even if it means believing in the absurd....

Answer 9

There are a lot of insane people around the world. Not only the religious.

Answer 10

That is a good question! But it is hard to answer a question when you are asking so many in the question itself! Ex: Whats your definition of insane? Do you believe in God/Jesus?
