"@Brad
p=mc is invalid for photons. In relativity, the kinetic energy of a particle is given by K=mc^2/(1-v^2/c^2)^1/2-mc^2, meaning that it takes an infinite amount of energy to accelerate a particle with mass to the speed of light. Thus, particles…"

What is heaven
Started this discussion. Last reply by Cathy Cooper Feb 4, 2011. 7 Replies 0 Likes
The wonderful Talking Heads. Their chorus, "heaven, is a place where nothing, nothing ever happpens..." I love. Didja ever think about what people expect in this heaven thing. My first thought is "I…Continue
New Logic for god's Non-existence

Here goes. God believers should be asked: Is this god best described as finite, nothing, or infinite? If they answer nothing, then there is no god. If they answer finite, then the god is not…Continue
E2=m2c4+p2c2 not simply E=mc2

To the not here nation, because only I am here. Eons ago I asked the group to find error in a little book I wrote and posted on the blog of my think atheist page. I knew of one error, a science/math…Continue

Well, well as I have said before: I used to have a fine line to open the discourse on a claim I had that we humans all have the same traits but just to varying degrees. That line was "The Pope is…Continue

Brad Snowder replied to day vo's discussion 'E2=m2c4+p2c2 not simply E=mc2'"Unless you already know the rest mass of the photon, you generally find its energy from the wavelength first. Then you take that and divide by c^2 to get the rest mass (mass equivalence of a photon's energy). To calculate the momentum stored in…"
Brad Snowder replied to day vo's discussion 'E2=m2c4+p2c2 not simply E=mc2'"But isn't it really that when doing relativistic calculations you are almost always allowed to choose the frame of reference? If you choose the FoR with the same vector as the momentum then the momentum is zero and the whole second term is zero…"
Cathy Cooper replied to day vo's discussion 'What is heaven'"Heaven is all in the mind. Actually, the christian conception of it happened in the minds of the Zoroastrians. Muslims and Christians both take their eschatological views from them, which makes them closer to Zoroastrianism than…"
Adam Nowak replied to day vo's discussion 'What is heaven'"Couldn't have said it better, Cathy. Once I finally got rid of religion (my "mental enema" as I like to say) I felt for the first time to be in total control of my mind. Freedom to think is heavenly."
Cathy Cooper replied to day vo's discussion 'What is heaven'"In the christian concept of heaven it is a place where the faithful worship their narcissistic deity day and night for eternity, singing Hosanna all day, and all night long.
To the Jews, heaven was on earth, and everything it provided…"
Snowcrash replied to day vo's discussion 'What is heaven'"I always love using few quotes on these discussions about heaven because they are so spot on.
We take comfort in knowing that there is no god. That you are not enslaved in heaven, made to kiss god's ass forever. What you have is better…"
elaine kilshaw replied to day vo's discussion 'What is heaven'"If there is a heaven then how will everyone get on if they are good Christains, good muslims etc. Surely they would not be able to be together and so many would be kicked out down to hell. Or perhaps every soul will have to kneel to their god and…"
Lindsey replied to day vo's discussion 'What is heaven'"I had this story running through my head about how heaven seems like a wonderful place at a glance, but really it is populated by a bunch of lobotamized slaves with no free will forced to serve a dictator god for all eternity. And then all the…"
Adam Nowak replied to day vo's discussion 'What is heaven'"I've thought a lot about heaven in the recent past. It seems that, somewhere in the bible, it says you get to worship god all day and night, for eternity. Sounds like a blast. Then there are people who think it's just…"
Lilla Bertalan replied to day vo's discussion 'Which Behaviors of God Believers Bug You Most'"Keeping everything a few centuries backwards than it should be. Opposing homosexuality (and sexual freedom in general), stem cell research (and science in general), euthanasia and eugenics (and transhumanist initiatives in general), condoning…"
Michael Sizer-Watt replied to day vo's discussion 'Which Behaviors of God Believers Bug You Most'"1. The fact that they assume that atheists are either angry at god or uninformed. They think that we're stupid enough to believe that we can either choose to disbelieve in god because we're angry, or that we simply say we…"
"Assuming that because we are not believers, our lives are lacking something.. everything! I have family members feeling sorry for me, praying for me. I have had complete strangers come up to me at railway stations, initially asking to share a…"
John Voss replied to day vo's discussion 'Which Behaviors of God Believers Bug You Most'"What really bugs me is all the time we waste debating with these fucks. We should just laugh at them and tell them to shut the hell up."
