| QUOTE (lightningdude) | | First of all, if the bubbles of existence thing is something for you to believe in, then it really doesn't matter in this case. |
It doesn't matter EITHER WAY. You were talking about a bubble of existence, so I corrected you.
| QUOTE (lightningdude) | | You can't use the conclusion to support the proof, and if that isn't what you are doing, then it just sounds like it to me. |
Actually, I'm not doing any such thing. I was just telling you that you left my proof untouched.
Also, I didn't use the conclusion to support the proof. The proof INCLUDED the statement that the sum of all was in a single bubble of existence. That was NOT the conclusion. Thus, I was actually telling you that, again, no matter how many holes you can find in individual examples, it doesn't matter because you're not touching the example I originally gave.
| QUOTE (lightningdude) | | I am trying to counter hypothetical examples because they were used to support your proof. |
No, actually. Look at my first post again. I didn't use any examples.
Later on, ANALOGIES were used by me and Sturm to try to get you to UNDERSTAND the concepts I presented. They weren't used to support the proof.
Later LATER on, I used a purely hypothetical situation as an example. Instead of denying the conclusion (that if you don't affect things, you don't matter), you deny the definition (that you don't affect things). I tell you now, you won't get anywhere with that.

This is kinda like a question:
As one who believes in God, I see evidence of affects that God has on my life, and on the lives of others I interact with. However, with one who doesn't believe in God, aren't they just coincidences, not really an effect that somone causes?
If I am correct in that respect, then since I believe that God affects things, he matters to me. But, to someone who doesn't believe in God, he wouldn't matter since he doesn't exist to be able to affect things.

A person that doesn't believe in God doesn't necessarily see things without cause. That person would probably see the events as having no planned reason to be caused, though.

You're posting off-topic again. Stop it.
Also, if God existed, that person would still be affected, if only through interacting with people and things affected by God. The belief doesn't matter. It's the fact that matters.

Wrong wording. Everything is impossible to prove.
| QUOTE | Given: All black bears are bears. My wife is a black bear. Therefore, my wife is a bear.
See, I just proved something. Over the Internet.

Prove all black bears are bears and the name is not just some wierd conciedence like Koala bears. Prove you have a wife.

| QUOTE (Chaos Seraph) | | As it is in real life. |
Descartes's proof: If I think, then I exist. I think. Therefore, I exist.
It's impossible?
|
Yes. The Universe doesn't give a damn what YOU or anyone else thinks. It doesn't change for anyone.
| QUOTE | | QUOTE (Chaos Seraph) | | We can't prove you wrong, yet you can't prove yourself right. |
Pay attention. I gave the proof in the first post. I also stated that I gave the proof in the first post. So not only did you not read my post, you also didn't read the rest of the topic.
|
Prove your proof is proven.
| QUOTE | I only attacked the people who tried to derail the topic with stupid statements like "You can't disprove it" and "I have my own philosophy, which is this". You fall into the first category: that of the unlearned and lazy smartass.
| QUOTE (Chaos Seraph) | | I really don't care. |
You're not fooling anyone. If you didn't care, you wouldn't ask.

Prove it. =D

the point is, he THINKS, therefore HE exists. no one HAS to give a damn, as long as he does. think, i mean. it's like this. even if i voice out my thoughts, what i think, no one has to give a freaking damn. but the fact is, that i still think and produced thoughts. i even voiced it out.

Is that like saying (back to your spirit example) The spirit is contained within the box. The spirit affects the box by being inside it. The box is affecting me by being in my way. I am affected by the spirit, if only through interacting with the box that is affected by the spirit.
If God doesn't exist, however, I still believe in God, which makes me feel like God is affecting me. Just because I affect someone else, it doesn't mean God is affecting them through me, especially if God doesn't even exist. God still matters to me, because I belive that he does.

You are way fucking off heere. I don't know how you got to this point, but you cannot be affected by the spirit simply because the box is affecting you. First, you need to remember, we do not know if there is a spirit in the box. It was only said that there was, but since there's no proof, we can never know. How is the spirit affecting you? It could just be some box in the street. Maybe completely out of your way. Or maybe it's on top of you. Is the spirit affecting you in any of these situations? No. The box is. The box is obstructing your view/path/back comfort in all these situations, the spirit is doing nothing to you.

If God affects you, and you affect someone else, God doesn't necessarily affect them. Check, but in here you PROVED YOUR LAST POINT WRONG. Okay, you are the box. God is the spirit. Someone you're affecting is some guy holding the box. Is the spirit affecting the guy holding the box in anyway? Again, go to your God analogy, God (the spirit) is not affecting someone (the guy holding the box) just because you (the box) is affected by God (the spirit). Do you understand?

You're not being affected by God, then. You're being affected by an idea.
| QUOTE (lightningdude) | | Just because I affect someone else, it doesn't mean God is affecting them through me |
If God affects you, you're likely to act differently. If your actions are affected, and the layer between yourself and someone else is your actions, your actions are likely to affect someone else. If your actions are likely to affect someone else, anything that affects your actions can indirectly affect that someone else.
| QUOTE (lightningdude) | | especially if God doesn't even exist. God still matters to me, because I belive that he does. |
You're screwing around with the definitions again. "Matters" only refers to the difference between the existence and hypothetical non-existence of something. Actual non-existence doesn't have a place here.
| QUOTE (lightningdude) | | I understand, but I was referring to Rai and what he said about God affecting someone through those that are affected by God. |
Except that the spirit, when it affects the box, doesn't make a change that would affect how the box interacts with the outside. Because that would break the rule of, "You'll never know whether there was a spirit in the box."
On the other hand, if something affects you, it would affect how you affect other things.
| QUOTE (lightningdude) | | Others that don't believe that He exists don't believe that God can affect anything. |
Others aren't using the same meaning of "affect" that I am.
Their affect: God does something to/for them. My affect: The existence of God makes their life different than if He didn't exist.
It's the difference between direct effect and indirect effect. My use of the word "meaning" includes both. That should've been obvious by now. You're arguing against an argument I never made.
