What happens when all the herbivores overpopulate and eat all the vegetation, creating widespread famine? Carnivores are a very important part of every ecosystem.
I help prevent overpopulation by eating meat. Its my duty as a human being to kill animals and eat them.

(THIS IS A JOKE DON'T TALK MORE ABOUT RELIGION MAYBE GOD EXISTS MAYBE HE DOESN'T BUT ANYWAY YOU WON'T CONVERT THE OTHER SIDE IN ANY CASE SO JUST DROP IT)
I used to think that religion was boring too, before I understood it. Now I think it's interesting to discuss it. I love when people try to convert me into their beliefs/religion. It's fun to try to understand different beliefs. It's true that discussion will probably not "convert" anyone, but I don't think that is the purpose of a discussion either. I wouldn't want to convince anyone that I'm right, because then we would have nothing to discuss and that would be boring.

Why so? Is it because you think they hurt other animals because they kill and eat them? But if we sterilize animals, then we kill these animals and make them go extinct, and that's even worse than letting them kill the other animals, because without the carnivore animals, we will all go extinct and die. But maybe you're right... if we all died, then nobody would have to suffer. The problem is that there is still life on other planets. Killing all life would prevent all suffering and death, but there's no way to do that.

Overpopulation is a myth. It does not exist. It's true that some places and cities are overpopulated, but there are other places to live in. There is no overpopulation, there are just people who choose to live in overpopulated places.
Astrology was an ancient science superior to astronomy.
Astrology has given us:
Astronomy and its study has given us:
Firefighter Masks
Jaws of life
Satellite technology
Smoke detectors which save lives
Lighting protection for aircraft
A deeper understanding of the size of the universe
GPS technology.
Yeah, astrology is FAR superior to astronomy.
Sage advice from a friend of Jim: So put your tinfoil hat back in the closet, open your eyes to the truth, and realize that the government is in fact causing austismal cancer with it's 9/11 fluoride vaccinations of your water supply.

^I heard Buzz Aldrin clocked a knucklehead half his age who said the moon landing was a hoax to his face.

I heard that for everyone on Earth to live like the average American, we would need the resources of 5 Earths; it's not finding enough space to pack everyone in, it's finding enough food, water, minerals, and other things that support a lower-middle-class lifestyle.
I also agree with nfq on religion, like I find some of the intricacies fascinating even though I am an atheist with a hard time believing that anything supernatural exists.
Astrology includes astronomy. Astrology has given us the 12 hour day and night, and the 12 month year. It has also explained the cause of the movements of planets and stars, the cause of seasons and the creation of planets. Many great scientists like Tycho Brahe, Galileo and Paracelsus have studied astrology, so it's certainly not only for "crackpots". Astrology can be used to predict future events. For example, William Lilly predicted the 1666 fire using astrology. Astrology can even be used to measure the age of the earth and how long the earth will live.
Astrology (and alchemy) is the study and unification of both the macrocosm and the microcosm. When humans started to be become spiritually degenerate, the micro (spirit) and macro (matter) were separated from each other, and nowadays, people only believe in matter (materialism). Modern scientists today have a lot of headache trying to unite the micro and macro (quantum mechanics and general relativity, magnetism and gravity, particle and wave, mind and body) because they don't understand spirituality.
A deeper understanding of the size of the universe
according to astrology, the universe is infinitely large.

many americans are fat and unhealthy. if fat people would give some food for the poor people, both the fat and the poor people would be happier and healthier. i think we have more resources on earth than we can imagine. when technology evolves, our resources become greater too (genetically modified food for example).
I am an atheist with a hard time believing that anything supernatural exists.
"supernatural" is just a word we use for something that is currently beyond our understanding or beyond the limit of observation. to not believe in the supernatural is like saying that we know everything already. afterlife and ghosts are no more supernatural than gravity for example, it's just that modern scientists can't understand or observe them. radio waves used to be supernatural, but today we call them natural because we use them and "understand" them. everything is actually supernatural (beyond nature, spiritual) because everything (nature) is inside the mind.
When I said Overpopulation, I meant animals. If there were no carnavores, herbavors would over populate the earth.
Also, Ferrets are stinky animals.

Actually, ferrets can smell bad, but that's simply because the have a habit of pooping in hard-to-reach places. Aside from that, they don't smell any worse than your average dog.
A hundred years from now, they will gaze upon my work and marvel at my skills but never know my name. And that will be good enough for me.
Out of curiosity: Does your religion have a name? It seems that you believe in everything. Be it ancient or modern, be it about spiritual, superhuman or alien beings, be it about religion, occultism, paganism, astrology or whatever... it seems that for you anything goes. You seem to believe in everything and everybody.
How about "new age spiritual secular astrological ufological paranormal christian buddhist shintoist druidic wicca paganism"? OTOH I'm sure that doesn't encompass even nearly everything. Maybe just "the religion of everything"?
I'm not sure what the appropriate suffix is, but my thinking goes like this...
nihilism = belief in nothing (as well as a bunch of other hings)
omni... = ... everything
omni...?
Nah the word for 'believes in everything' is gullible. :)
Maybe you have answered this before, or some place else... sorry if so.
After you quit all administrative tasks for the site, will you still visit the forums and irc regularly / once in a while / sporadically?

Well yeah of course, since we all know the moon doesn't actually exist, and you can't go somewhere non existent.

False. There seems to be a lot of things he doesn't believe in, mainly things that has heaps of scientific evidence supporting it. I'd call it trollism, but you can never be completely sure that someone is trolling...
I don't really have a religion because I believe in parts of all religions, but there is no religion or philosophy which I agree on everything it says. Theosophy matches my beliefs very closely though. My belief could also be called New Age, hippie, occultism or Hinduism, which are more common names. They are all very similar to each other. Hinduism for example teaches that all religions contain truth and they are all just different paths towards the same mountain top (God).

lol... I don't believe in entirely everything. For example, I don't even believe in the Big Bang, the theory of evolution and I don't believe the moon landing was a hoax (although I'm not sure if it was real either). There are many things I disbelieve. I'm also skeptical of the Hollow Earth theory, even though it's taught by Theosophy. The motto of the Theosophical society is: "There is no religion higher than truth." It's important to not become too dogmatic and attached in our beliefs, so that we can abandon them if evidence proves them wrong.
Scientific evidence is about as subjective as beauty.
