Dave G commented on William's blog post 'Fear of mysterious technology'"Humanity has a pretty powerful Frankenstein complex, boosted by plenty of harping on about 'tampering with God's domain'."
Misty: Baytheist Living! commented on William's blog post 'Fear of mysterious technology'"Thanks for clearing that up.
I learned all that information on www.snopes.com and Bill Nye.
Awesome!"

Jeremy Roney commented on William's blog post 'Eternal Consciousness and Eternal Unconsiousness'"I suppose I might be able to agree with Reggie, but even then such an existence would only be favorable in my opinion if one could choose to end that existence. Even a geological time scale is infinitely smaller than eternity, so even a being…"
Reggie commented on William's blog post 'Eternal Consciousness and Eternal Unconsiousness'"This isn't an argument.
I disagree! ;)
If I could switch between human time perception and the geological time perception you speak of, I would definitely be interested. I guess I wouldn't want to live that long if I experience time the…"
Cara Coleen commented on William's blog post 'Eternal Consciousness and Eternal Unconsiousness'"I'm not MISSING anything, Jeremy. All I'm saying is that perhaps everyone's imagination is a bit limited. Let's not get too literal here, as it is ALL hypothetical to begin with. I realize I can't fathom eternity, but what…"
Jeremy Roney commented on William's blog post 'Eternal Consciousness and Eternal Unconsiousness'"Immortality wouldn't be so bad if we were given the option of ending that immortality (ceasing to exist) when we choose to do so. Taking a really long nap wouldn't be likely to change anything, when you woke up its quite likely that you…"
Cara Coleen commented on William's blog post 'Eternal Consciousness and Eternal Unconsiousness'"Well... when Christians think of eternal life, don't they mean after they DIE? So, according to their ideas of Heaven and so forth, you WOULD have a static age, probably somewhere in your prime. Personally, I'd like to dispose of a…"
Dave G commented on William's blog post 'Eternal Consciousness and Eternal Unconsiousness'"Don't forget rich, Reggie! No sense in being young and healthy if you have to work in the Kessel spice mines all day, every day."
Reggie commented on William's blog post 'Eternal Consciousness and Eternal Unconsiousness'"@ CaraColeen - Quit pooping on our party pooping!
While eternal life does not appeal to me, a much longer life would. If I could live for 300 years or maybe a thousand years, that is more like it! Of course, the quality of life would need to be…"
Dave G commented on William's blog post 'Eternal Consciousness and Eternal Unconsiousness'"Eternal life I'm not particularly interested in, as it takes away a choice. If I have no option but to live forever, then if I ever do get bored, I can't quit.
Now, if we're talking eternal youth and health, where I can live for as…"
Cara Coleen commented on William's blog post 'Eternal Consciousness and Eternal Unconsiousness'"Oh, c'mon guys. I know we're all Atheists here, but... there is something attractive about eternal life. You're that afraid of boredom? Jeez! lol Ya know, you're thinking a bit too inside the box. When you're dead, there are…"

Throughout my few years of existence, I've pondered about which is worse: eternal unconsciousness or eternal consciousness. A Christian (or any other person that believes in an eternal afterlife) would say that eternal unconsciousness (what most atheists have accepted) is far, far worse.
But is it really?
Consider this- imagine existing for an eternity. Eventually, you would have experienced and/or thought about everything possible, and impossible.… Continue
