That answers how you are here but not why

"How does a person answer why something happens. For example aunt Minnie is in the hospital, why? Because she slipped on the ice and broke her hip. That satisfies people. But that wouldn't satisfy someone who came from another planet and knew nothing about things, first you need to understand why when you break your hip you go to the hospital. How do you go to the hospital when the hip is broken...

... when you explain a why, you have to be in some framework that you allow something to be true, otherwise you're perpetually asking why."

And this is what makes the question ridiculous when a particular types of religious person asks the question. The type who has only ever considered the world through the lens of their religion has already made many assumptions about this framework such as creator gods exist and care a lot about humans.

You know... most people, or most reasonable people, would consider that to be a nonsense question. So already... I think the type of person who asks "why do humans exist" has already made assumptions that necessarily restrict the answer to a very narrow range of possibilities.

Of course... looking back, the OP is probably 12 years old, so it's not that bad. I'm just saying...

Makes about as much sense as this topic.

It's easy to make fun of these guys, and I don't know how many of them are actors... but can you imagine actually believing this stuff? I mean look at how much fun they're having... wish I could have that much fun just going to church.

Yes, Righteous Gemstones is a pretty good series, though I thought John Goodman's character was underdeveloped in the first season. He could have been more of a behind-the-scenes string puller than a passive spectator of his family's unraveling...but still, it was pretty good. Season 2 looks promising.

Oh my, Bob Larson is good, real good. Without giving too much away, i spent a good portion of my life in and around this type of stuff for various reasons that cannot be easily discussed or explained. It was entertaining to say the least. But ‘ol Bobby can really make those demons talk can’t he? Even on the radio over the phone. That takes a real gift. A gift of showmanship, exploitation, and greed. Kind of like the “wolf in sheep’s clothing” in real life eh?

Before this gets locked due to religious content. Who can ever forget the “Gift of Laughter” era? Talk about a sideshow of ridiculous nonsense. But then, who are we to judge? Billions are spent on so-called actors who make ridiculous movies and then try to convince us that they portray real life. And you know what? Some people actually believe them. Actors are just that, highly paid pretenders. Same as the Osteens, Swaggarts, Hinns, and Crouchs.

Hey Mr. Llama, just grab a tambourine and join the band! Beat the devil outta that thang. Start your own church and have a crusade. Get a good tent and set up just outside the city limits. “Llama, Brother Llama, say Brother Llama’s traveling salvation show. Pack up the babies and grab the old ladies and everyone goes, cause everyone knows, about Brother Llama’s show…” My apologies to Mr. Diamond…

The truly one sad thing about all this nonsense recently posted is the dude that created this thread only wishes your best, but then come along ridiculous attacks of rather sad behavior only to come off the satire of the day, in absolute disrespect and disgrace, and if any thread should be jacked up like muddy conflicting goofiness such as this, it certainly shouldn’t be on one that’s only meaning the best for everyone, and their well being for all of Eternity, truly sad, and perhaps maybe, just maybe the recent posts of such the individual can delete, that’s delete, not rampage more obscene nonsense of disrespect, and perhaps apologize and see this thread is intended only for Love, not nonsense. =/

Is AI off his mute, that apparently he got because somebody reported? It wasn’t myself who had done that but he got a few so far days of mute.
