On the topic of thermodynamics law, I quite agree with Crazy Ivan. The second law of thermodynamics is usually stated vaguely in most places; the concept of "disorder" has no meaning at all unless you are talking about disorder with respect to something that is "orderly." A better statement of this law when relating it to the common minds would be that no energy conversion process can completely convert all of the energy without "losing" some energy in the process in the form of thermal energy.
Well you need to know a little Bible history for that.
Since the Fall of man things have been getting worse (2nd law of therodynamics, not spelled right). Sooo that means the capability our minds are also getting worse. But for this you must believe in something called "Original Sin". Don't get me wrong. Adam (first human) was perfect...for a while anyway. Then he sinned so now we all are sinners.
I'm not even going to bother here, as way too many contradictory assumptions are being made.
Too many questions. My history classes have left me with some sort of inherent desire to argue with people about history. Hitler wasn't the all-seeing, all-knowing person you suppose him to be. The Nazi state was totally chaotic, a confusion of private empires. Genocide wasn't Hitler's original plan, but a result of the failures of his other plans. If you want explanation of any of these odd beliefs, I have essays-worth of it...
Well, the thing was that he picked the right people for his job. The entire system was based on a complicated heirarchy of ranks, and it was designed in such a way so as to be redundant; if one section of the Schutzstaffel turned on him, he made sure that the rest were all fanatically loyal enough to defend the party, and if some high-ranking political official turned traitor and starting messing up the party, it would not matter much as the seperation of powers ensured that no one man had enough power to do a lot by himself, except of course the Führer himself. (this was in the later days or the party; post-1938 or so) Also, Hitler made sure to select men that, if they must work together, would be ideological enemies of each other and would constantly fight amongst themselves, decreasing the chances of them teaming up on him. (eventually the fighting became so bad that he had to set up a mock court system, not to give any sort of justice, but that would temporarily silence them and make it look from the outside as if the party was greatly disciplined) One reason that the various attempts on his life failed was that the conspirators were poorly organized and were all at each other's throats the whole time; the only reason they had temporarily teamed up was that they all wanted to get rid of Hitler and thus had a mutual interest. Some men in the party hated him but did not have the courage to try anything, as the purge of 1934 had shown them what Hitler does to traitors.
Plus there's the perpetual rumours about his sexuality...
The SA commander, Roehm, was a notorious homosexual, along with some other high-ranking guys in the party.
The party leaders, with the exception of Goebbels, were all failures in their earlier lives in some way or another.
Well, anyway, you can ignore what hotsnoj regards as the true nature of things, but the question is should you? You don't have to convert, but in the end, it is you who suffers the consequence of what you choose.
That is how I regard things, and the concept can be extended to the "technological darwinism" system. The social machine can subtly weed out the useless elements anyway, and freedom of thought is necessary for new ideas to come up, even if it means the existence of a hundred stupid ideas for every novel idea.
The man who willfully takes the life of another man is giving tacit approval to every murder that has ever been committed or that ever will be committed. The rapist gives his approval to every act of rape committed, just as much as if he had committed those acts. And Jesus taught the compounded guilt of those children, who, knowing the guilt of their fathers, go on and break the same commandments.
This only serves to reinforce my original statement: the god gives his approval for every act of murder, rape, etc. because he created the entire concept and thus unleashed this "sin" into the universe.
I do not believe in God because I have not seen sufficient evidence to support such a claim that a God exists. Many people come to the conclusion that a God does exist because of things that seem to have no explanation or an insufficient explanation. This is called the "argument from personal incredulity." In other words, if it seems impossible to me, then it must be impossible.
Perfect, just perfect. I totally agree here.
Those Bible things are really funny as well.
