Hi. I'm SHIN

But what's the "raw" feeling from looking at a rainbow.  :Hangman: MR, where are you hiding? Why don't you take this one.

but he might not consider that lying or contradictory.

Finally. A smart one. =D>

So you lied to them and were only misleading to us. Great.

Shin is obviously either a troll (in which case he should be banned) or mentally handicapped (in which case he should be spared the negativity as he's not responsible for the dumb shit he's saying). I say ban away.

But why rainbows?

Do you have an explanation for the existence of rainbows? I'm not talking about the phenomenon and it's chemical explanation, but it's reason for being.

If you know, I'd be glad to hear the answer.

Yes, actually.  Might be a little bit over your head, but it's worth a shot.

Do things need a reason to be?

Did you just say that?? :shock:

Please do not remove that post nor edit it, so others can see it.

I did just say that and you didn't answer it.  Why do things need a reason to be?

apparently it thinks that everything has a reason which of course implies a reason for the reason and a maker of the reason for the reason. Could be it doesn't really think, just forwards these tricky and difficult questions to the borg out-post. I mean,why rainbows? Dats a tough one.

I mean, really, if you're being serious, you're a great argument against evolution, I'll admit. Nothing that works to breed adaption could produce a being so ridiculous and stupidly pointless.

Yes, actually.  Might be a little bit over your head, but it's worth a shot.

There's an answer. Will you ignore it? Probably. Will you disregard it as not answering your pathetic attempt at a question even if you don't? 100% positive.

Life is to short to waste time with folk such as yourself. I'm glad you're happy in your little ignorant world, though. It should mean you leave the rest of the world alone, but it doesn't, because you're a parasite, leaching on the resources and contributions of others and warping the reality we are seeking to understand by trying to take us backwards into ignorance. Congrats, you've actually become someone I hold in such low regard you're next to fucking dinosaur bones.

To everyone else: LDV's post above makes a good point. Either way, the guys only contribution here on this forum will be to our post count and to remind us that no matter how smart humans are, there's always some nut house escapee ruining it for the rest of us.

Yes, yes, whatever you do, don't answer the question.  Just come up with something smartass to say because you don't have a fucking clue how to respond intelligently.  He asked you a legitimate question.  If you are going to act like there is an obvious answer to the question, don't be a wimp.  Pony up, and provide it.

As someone else said, the chemical explanation IS the reason for its existence.  That you might want there to be some spiritual feel good reason for it doesn't make it so. It is what it is.

Shin, do you realize that your God, if he exists, exists for no reason?  He wasn't created for a purpose.  He just is.  You may say that he has purpose, to create the universe, or whatever. But, if that is the case, then He is creating his own purpose.  He wasn't created for the purpose of creating a universe, as he wasn't created.  Thus his existence has no *intrinsic* reason or purpose and whatever reason or purpose he has, he gave himself. But yet you reject the idea that we can give ourselves our own reason or purpose to exist, despite the fact that is necessarily the case for God.

Basically, I think your God exists - sort of.  What you call God is a personification of the cosmos.  I'm not a pantheist, I don't worship the cosmos or imagine that it has a mind or intent.  But, the cosmos serves the purpose your God does.  It exists for no purpose, but provided us with an origin.  Exactly the same as your God if your God existed.

Why in the world would you consider this an odd thing to say?

Being is. Reasons are something humans make up to explain what we don't understand.

....I only went maybe like twice, since I had no choice, to a catholic church nearby my home in Bruxelles. I was like 6 or lower :/ If you consider that being raised catholic... :/ .......

No but are you a catholic now? Idc about your upbringing. I too was raised catholic. What are you now? was the question...

Is going twice to a Catholic church when you were 6 or lower equivalent to being raised a Catholic?

By this logic I must be a cowboy because i have seen a few rodeos.

Why rainbows?  Was refraction a divine intervention by you god? :-k   I wonder what evidence that could be provided to make one believe that is true?   Some are easily convinced.

Don't be silly, rainbows only need two things, water vapor and light, so before the flood we obviously were missing one of those, so it either never rained prior or there was no light. Crazy anti-babblist...

One guy I know says that there was a water canopy over the earth and that plants grew because water misted from the ground.
