You atheists crossed that line when you determined humans have no souls and as such are no more or less worth than any other conglomerate of molecules OTHER than in their value to others.
Red herring much?

A bumblebee died on my floor this morning. A very sad sight.

How is that death any less filled with meaning than any random death of a person I feel nothing for?

It matters more because I would hope that my death would matter more to a random person who feels nothing for me. Reciprocal granting of value and rights is what matters. The bumblebee can't grant me value and rights.

That's the most ridiculous thing you've posted in a great long while.

Delusion.

I'm delusional because I think that bumblebees don't have the capability for abstract thought?

You are delusional because you think anyone thinks you matter.

Well, aside from the people who know you. [though perhaps scant few of them as well  :P ]

They can communicate distance and direction with dance. That's pretty abstract isn't it?
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

duude, most people aren't sociopaths, like me and you. They actually care.... Bumblebees don't.

I've tried this.  I have made people leave due to my dancing, however, they did not go where my dance directed them to.  Oh well, more sweet nectar for me!
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

They do?

I am not convinced.

But of course, your point certainly merits consideration.

I always throw insults at you, you are richly deserving of them.
And I enjoy it when you do, as it shows the intellectual bankruptcy of your position.  :hug:

Hey Marty the fat man is going to be in Poland in June: http://festiwal.solarisnet.pl/

You can go dump glitter on him or something.  Presuming that is actually near where you are I cannot understand anything that website says.

Why would it being near where Martinus is determine whether you can understand the website?  :hmm:
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.
