Same can be said if there was no god. Where did the universe come from? Some say matter exploded. But where did the matter come from? Where did anything come from? 

Don't know the answer to a question? Just insert God. Voila! Problem solved.

When it's said that God is everywhere, it is meant in a metaphorical sense; it's to accentuate His omniscience. I and many others before me have stated before that a creator of this universe cannot be contained within His own creation. God is not energy since He created it. The Law of Conservation of Energy is one of the numerous ways for mankind to understand how this universe works. To me, science and religion cannot be separated; they go hand-in-hand. Science is ultimately a way for us humans to comprehend the workings of the universe and its wonders.

 

I honestly facepalm when there's debates between science and religion because they're the same thing, just different perspectives.

 

Peace! 

 

I've been trying to tell people that for the longest time!

That's the point Cucco. The science's facts and evidence goes in line with the religious belief. It's the same thing, explained differently. It's just reworded.

Err well I really hate sitting in cars, when people romanticise depression and those idiotic vintage/punk/explicit Tumblr blogs - they actually disgust me...

 

And I condemn those who feel sorry for those of different colour, those born with disabilities and even those of lower socioeconomic class. Because they might be happy with what they've got and the fact that anyone should feel sorry for them immediately suggests they are inferior. They are in fact entitled to everything we are entitled to, so they are simply our equals. It baffles me that we should draw a line between ourselves and those of darker skin, for example. It sounds seriously stupid to me. Many often feel sorry for these people subconsciously.

 

Of course, this isn't directed at KH13 members specifically, but at the global community as a whole.

I agree, I can't stand people who try and make mental illnesses some type of "cool" trend.

but yoo what's wrong with punk?

 

I don't think you can honestly tell me a person of color is happy with being shit on by privileged white people can you? Or that a mentally/physically disabled person would chose to be that way if given the option to change? What poor person likes struggling to pay the bills every month? I don't speak for everyone of course, but still you get the point. Yes I agree that all humans are in essence equals, unfortunately they still aren't treated as equals. You can recognize the disadvantage many of these people face and feel sorry for them without thinking of them as inferior. In fact, feeling sorry can inspire you to want to make a difference.

Haha Idk I just have this thing against Tumblr I've seen a lot of crap there :PI'm not saying it's not okay to feel something for these people... To try and empathise with them and understand their position is totally fine. I just find it annoying when people suddenly decide that because they're of lighter skin, can see, hear and talk or can afford a new phone, they are instantly superior. I just don't get it... And plus, when someone has been born with a disability, they haven't experienced what's it's like to not have that disability. So isn't it fair to say that they may be content with what they have been given? It's complex to explain, but put simply those with the least are the most content And I find that amazing...

It has it's bad sides, but I promise it's not all bad haha

 

Ah that's explained much better. I've gotta agree, I really dislike people with that type of attitude. The fact that they are even comparing themselves to others like that just shows how insecure they are

 

I get what you're saying, but for instance say you have a person who is mentally impaired; their language skills are no higher than that of a toddler, their mental age will never reach higher than 4 years old, and communicating with others  proves to be a very difficult task, if even possible at times. They will probably be dependent their whole lives.  Functioning in the real world is much harder for them, therefore wouldn't you agree that, if given the choice many would choose to live a "normal" life where they are able to speak and form relationships with others much easier? Even a moderately intellectually challenged person has more difficulties functioning in society than the average person. But you're right, some people might not even be aware of their difference and they are truly happy with themselves, and that is something I admire. I think I also understand what you're saying by not to feel sorry for them, since we cannot actually get inside their heads and feel what they are feeling so it's not our place to decide whether or not they are unhappy. That's why I said I don't speak for everyone when I was explaining something in the previous post

Of course, I agree. If given the power I'd want everyone with mental impairments to reach their full potential and gain some independence. Rather than feeling pity, I try to put myself in their shoes. I'd feel frustrated without a doubt. And if I noticed someone pitying me, I'd feel even more frustrated. It's all about perspective...

 

And I wonder, what is it to be 'normal'? 'Normal' is really just a mathematical term.

 

But anyway, I understand and agree with your argument

 

Tough world we live in.

Well we know that Venus is really, really far from Mars. So if you're telling me that the distance from Venus to Mars is equal to the length of God then we have stumbled upon a great solution to a problem.

 

How big is God? 

To answer this, all we have to do is calculate the length of Venus to Mars and we will have our answer.

I looked it up. Venus is approximately 75,000,000 miles from Mars. 

 

God is 75,000,000 miles tall.

I think it's kinda silly to have like 50 different names for a sexuality. Personally I think it should just be heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual and asexual and I guess pansexual. Having demisexual and others stuff just seems like a relationship preference and not a actual sexuality.

 

I wish more people will think before they have children. Like having a kid isn't all hits and giggles it is a living breathing person you have to take care of, and it is not ok just have it them then when they get older just ignore them, then want to have another just cause you like to have babies to play with.

 

If you don't want certion people to adopt then quit putting children up for adoption.

 

Stuff needs to be cheaper.

i shake my head on seeing veteran weeaboos picking on the younger weeaboos who like just got into anime/desudesu/yaoi and whatnot.

 

Let them have their fun, geez. We all went through that insane phase, and we all grow out of it and become more relaxed. But if I see a 22 year old trying to be a jerk to the person 10 years their junior, by calling them out if the 12 year old decides to say "nya" or "nano desu", you can bet your ass I'll be pissed. Y'all can nya and desu to your hearts content. Did I grow out of it? Yes - I just acknowledge that SOME people have only *just* discovered the anime and manga thing, and that even though something like OHSHC is old news to me, it could be the first bit of anime they've ever discovered.

[Ghost 1,857]

lifes too short to worry about how others think of the way you dress. dress however the firetruck you want, whether your outfit is conservative or showy (but not those inappropriate bits, of course~), whether you're a boy wearing feminine clothes (seriously dresses are comfortable as hell try it sometime), or whatever. like legit just dont care. dress how you want yay.

I personally think the thing about marriage is the union of two people who love each other. Whenever is a female female, male male, male female and anything inbetween. Marriage is the love of two people right? So what's wrong with marrying someone who you love and will be happy with?

 

don't have a child and don't get a pet IF YOU ARE NOT READY TO TAKE CARE OF THEM GODDAMN.

 

teachers who complain about having so much homework to grade piss me off. Like oh your gonna give the students 4+ hours of homework every night, then you better be ready to grade it and shut the firetruck up about it. It's your fault.

 

Beards are gross, not like little goatee things. Like full on beards. They are gross and look gross IMO.

 

Fake pockets are stupid. And I hate that I can't even but a shirt without it not covering the place where a shirt SHOULD COVER.

 

Police are stupid and we really don't even need them. They don't even do anything good.

1) Most people actually have children/pets because they're quite sure they're ready to take care of one. Also, it's not like you can fully avoid having a child. Some people can't afford an abortion or are against it so they won't get one and well people can get a little kinky and of course not all birth control methods are 100% effective.(Except crocs of course).2)You're totally right about the police part. I'm sure all the criminals will just commit seppuku or put themselves in jail

1) fair enough, but there's a idiot in my life who has children/gets a pet then completely ignores them because she got bored of them within a few months and it just pisses me off.2)I can't tell if your being sarcastic but Whatever, I hardly see the police where I live do any of that "catch the bad guy thing" I usually see "cop murders/assaults/whatever someone who just walking down the street. IMO I don't like cops nor trust them, they never done anything when me or my family needed them. I could go on about my distain for them but Whatever. I apologize if I sound a bit bitter or whatever.

1) Throw a brick at that person xD2) It's understandable, not every place has a reliable police force. Personally I think the reason we hear more about police assaults than we do about policemen capturing the bad guy is simply due to the negativity bias humans have. People aren't going to go around telling everyone about that one time the police caught a bankrobber, but they're very likely to go around making quite a fuss over an innocent person getting killed.
