[QUOTE="newusername, post: 5472868, member: 562064"] I think your problem is that you're imagining our living energy as something that continues on, when it doesn't really. Our movement, thinking, and general living is a result of taking in energy from food. When we're dead, the majority of the energy left in our system from our last meal is absorbed by organisms decomposing the body. The energy is not lumped; it isn't a single transferrable entity like a soul. Now if you did believe that all the energy is interwoven and we're all part of the same continuing energy source, then the argument could be constructed that we (the complete universe) are god. These sort of holistic arguments are more popular in the Eastern world, and certainly more plausible than the Christian idea (which is decidedly irrational, even compared to a faith like Islam). There was a problem with an electrical connection that caused liquid helium to flood the vacuum layer; that damaged some of the super-conducting magnets. That depends on how you define morality. For example, traditional context suggests sexuality is immoral...I don't believe that to be the case. A lot of what people are calling a loss of morality is really just the loss of control over individuals. Keep in mind that, historically, we have almost always believed that life could not get any worse, or that we are at a moral impasse. That's not something new in the 21st century. [/QUOTE]
