I've been arguing in here for a few hours now, and I think it's time I go check out other stuff on/. that's what I came here for in the first place not to argue god, and religion. My email is temporalwisard@hotmail.com, you can email me there to disscuss this further, also it's seems as though you have had some formal training in philosophy. I will be able to discuss this topic with you better after I get into my first philosophy class next semester.
nope, nothin' to do w/ that either. I just simply chose to spell it temporalwisard. I also pronounce it with an "s" sound andnot a "z" sound as one would normally do with the word wizard.
but what does it accomplish? For that matter what do people praying accomplish? I can only speak from my experience. Praying never accomplished anything other wasting time that could have been used productively. To me religion is like a computer running a program. The people with all their different religions are the computers, the religion is the program (I will go so far as to say the virus). The virus is spread to the computer sometime after it has been assembled and booted (born) by the computers(parents) at the factory. Peoples minds are infected with religion after they are born. Once the virus is implanted they can't help but follow it's instructions. I think the anti-virus that dissinfected me, was the freedom to think for myself given to me by my parents, I wasn't forced to go to church against my will the way nearly all of my Catholic freinds, classmates, and neighbor kids were by their parents. After all what's a virus's main function? Replicate.
It is impossible to disprove the proposition: The entire universe sprang into being an infitesimal amount of time ago by the will of an omnipotent God. Again I say: Can you prove that it is impossible, to disprove the proposition? Are you without logic?
2.What is the difference between a computer playing back a prayer audibly and a prayer written on a static html page? Is this webpage praying each time its content is accessed since the content is a prayer? Can people do any of this? If you say yes, can you prove it?
You can't prove it does exist either. And how do you know that a proof of it's nonexistence is not possible? Can you prove that a proof of it's nonexistence is not possible?
I've used Macs and PCs through the course of my life. I've observed that Macs are usualy more stable. The Macs that I've seen crash were almost always public network machines (example: school library) and the crash was caused by junk ass security software. (example: foolproof) Note: I'm talking PCs w/ windows, not any form of unix, as I haven't had much experience with them
Christianity, or any religion for that matter is just a program running on a very complex system. Christians trying to prove things with science, that's got to one of the funnies things I've heard. Proving god through science. I think science is heading towards the proving of god's nonexistence
What does this have to do with shining up Apple's image? Maybe she liked them, maybe that's what she could afford. Who needs a brain when you can be as stupid as you are?

Ahh hah. for once, something that makes sense. I mean that seriously.

nope. it's "wisard" with an "s" I chose it that way
A waste of proc time? What about all of that brainpower you are wasting with all that relious crap?
I agree with you, computers praying are following their code, just like a human praying is a person following the brainwash they were programed with.
And here I thought slashdot was a place for intelligent people.
I've never had prayer make a difference in my life. None of my prayers were ever answered.
I wonder if anybody with a religion is not mindless.
I agree with you. Computers praying have exactly the same effect as humans praying.....none Praying is a waste of time wether by human or computer.
