I know Prosper was being all polite to you by liking your comment, but I must say your modelling is lacking the raw realism and depth that Prosper's work provides. Do keep trying though. Someday you might evoke that certain feeling that Prosper's work evokes in me. Number 2 is my avatar from DuckAndCover http://www.duckandcover.cx/forums/images/avatars/19736476514cf4edfbde0c5.jpg

I do need the money. But my reputation is built around the username Prosper. There are people who like to steal from me or claim I stole from them. Some even stole from me then claimed I stole from them. There is one more type of person: those that deny my work is mine at all. People really get under my skin. They won't respect me if I make a game, they will torrent it for the lulz and suing isn't worth the time or money. Sure you may point out KS gives me enough money anyway right? Wrong. A) Transfer fees. B) Taxes C) When I was talking with people on BGS forums they seem to be under the impression you are not supposed to put the money you get from KS into paying living expenses. I live on the tax payer's money with deep personal issues and I feel the best I can do is contribute screenshots of the models I make in sculptris to Obsidian's Project Eternity forum.

I'm not convinced. Time may or may not be a result of the 'laws of physics' that came into being as part of this "bubble" that we call the universe. Time may only exist until the bubble bursts. Different rules may or may not have applied before the universe came into existence. That's what some of the scientists at Cern are all giddy about trying to figure out by recreating the conditions of the beginning of the universe. Lol. there are plenty of theories from different Scientists. Multiverses, parallel universes and even the laws of physics being different in many of them. Let us go over what we do know. -Our universe is flat and not a bubble. -Our expansion is accelerating. We are not only continuing to expand we are expanding faster. -Because of the second law of thermodynamics everything will eventually go dark. HEAT DEATH. -Trillions of years is a long time. -Time is actually only traceable by events, events are noticable by energies. -Distances is achieved by energetic events. Where does energy come from? What makes universes come into being? 1. Go learn the standard model. 2. Read my post about if we came from something or nothing. "Time may or may not be a result of the 'laws of physics' that came into being as part of this "bubble" that we call the universe. " This does not discount that time still matters and does exist. So when I said time I mean it is important. it seems you agree time is a thing that occurs from beginning to end. personally I know its more than that. existence must spawn the energy, so you will always have an expectation of time. If the multiverse theory turns out to be true then time is the totality of every universe. It would still all be linked to a single event or eventless state. "Time may only exist until the obubble bursts." The bubble already bursted it's why things have mass. But it is more like a mirror.

First you must accept you do exist. Billion of years have gone by when you have not existed though. That includes times when our entire species did not exist. There was a time before galaxies and stars. Do you feel blame? If real life has you down I say don't worry. No matter how many more things are to be discovered (constructs within constructs), there is the fact you do exist. You may be worried about the heat death of the universe.. So let's look at what possibly lead to this universe: A. Nothing (or absence of stuff) causes something. Congratulations the construct you live in doesn't need your help or anything else to get started. B. Something caused us or we are derived from it. Congratulations, at least you exist! There are only two things to fear: 1. Pain and torment. 2. Being unproductive.

@ Mr. Ermac Let me get this out of the way: I don't care if you or any group of philosophers happen to share an opinion. I also couldn't give a rat's behind whether or not I am saying back to you your every word. I know how to avoid strawman fallacies tyvm. Lastly I have a right to reject your rhetoric at any time, and to say I am wrong for doing so doesn't score points for your side. It is known the true test of an argument is it can stand on its own . I do not need to satisfy my opponent's premises. ONWARD! You Mr.Ernac seem to confuse two different questions. 1. What is faith? 2. Where or when is faith required? You clearly are intentionally conflating 1 and 2 to avoid burden of proof. The examples of (faith) and the definition of (faith) provided end up depending on one another. So as you cite your stories you are making this a meaningless exercise involving circular logic . People may develop a different opinion or go more in depth in their responses here on out, but do not mistake that as proof your logic is correct or that you have made a good contribution on the behalf of faith. @The Rest of the People If you become so certain of something you end up needing to convince yourself it is not true, you were the problem and not reality. You would have to be be guilty of solipsism to say all people require and should be thought as users of faith. Suppose faith can be used to no detriment regarding standard of living or survival outcome. It still does not show a utility in truly saving you from circumstance. Needing to change your mood could have been avoided if you stopped desiring certainty. Chasing faith to reach a gnostic position on any issue is ludicrous . Faith is a contradiction in-itself.

Your answers to my questions are based on faith.

The problem with stories like yours is it relies on the man being certain to begin with. My answer should of been obvious in my OP. Don't worry.

"An incredibly vague post which seems to be addressing specifically the actions or ideas of an unspecified individual. A response to something which has not been said. You're responding to nothing. You're acting with the faith that that something will appear before you in response." It is called a hypothetical and yes I still believe there is enough specificity in my OP for an ethical person to say something more intelligent than what you just did. "But seriously, sentient beings always have faith in something, that applies to even having faith that you don't need faith. Its just a function of the conscience." Do you mean consciousness? Every decision you can make and ever will make is limited by regions of your brain where consciousness is not in control of. You are at the mercy of things outside of your body as well as inside. You are not in a position to make a judgement about what must be believed unless your preference is to live comfortably in ignorance.

I have seen this type of reply put to me in the past. Your tactic is simple. You borrow my argument's form and replace my words with your own. In turn the content presented as such will supposedly serve to convince others of something I did not intend them to be convinced of. However your attempt to show my points as invalid was achieved by breaking specified subject. Thus you have only served to demonstrate a failure on your end to understand the nature of logic. Logic does not prove logic nor is it a thing with capacity to spawn evidence on its own. You have introduced no facts or relevant evidentary claims. I take your foolishness as a compliment stating I have an impeccable view on faith.

Some think they need faith. How do they know they need faith? Stop being so certain. Do you know you need faith because you feel you need it? How does one feel they need faith? Clearly its you deciding you need it over feelings felt. Why would you want to keep those feelings? Can't they be the opposite and you still not want them? You say you don't want faith but it is a necessity. So it's somehow not your fault you feel the way you do and yet you think faith will change things? Shouldn't you believe that change coming from within is apart from change from outside? Or do you believe in belief affecting both out and in. Why don't you let your belief affect you then? Can it not be advantageous to feel as you do and act as you want without assuming you're right to act? If you have to assume you're right, then no amount of reasoning would of mattered anyway. Why take things on faith? Why!
