Religion Prooved!

in
Alright... I'm at work... and I just proved religion in an IRC conversation... I'm LorcanWork obviously... check out the proof.

[14:17] if I had it my way... I'd just have myself digitized and I'd live online
[14:18] sorta like Jobe on lawnmower man... or even kinda like on tron
[14:18] heh
[14:18] untill then I'll just keep saying "whatif the matrix is real, and I'm just in a big computer sim"
[14:18] heh
[14:18] haha
[14:19] I think you are looney
[14:19] I mean... if you look at life... there is so much evidence that this is a program
[14:19] all kinds of glitches and anomalies... and uniformity to things... so much predictability
[14:21] could explain religion...
[14:21] God is the programmer
[14:21] heh
[14:21] and that right there... could defeat anything science has to disprove religion
[14:21] "well where did all the water from the flood go"
[14:21] Simple... God clicked his mouse and changed the % of water
[14:21] heh
[14:21] "how did he make the earth"
[14:22] Simple... he opened up worldeditor and started playing around
[14:22] "how did he make eve out of adam's rib"
[14:22] easy... he said... "hrmm... yeah this program looks good... lets borrow its code"
[14:22] hehehe
[14:22] sounds like populace
[14:22] there... I proved religion!
[14:22] which was one of my favorite games
[14:22] Someone give me the a nobel or something
[14:23] Maybe we are just God's civIII save heh
[14:23] haha you know thats almost scary
[14:23] or sim city save... etc etc
[14:23] What that I proved religion in an irc room?
[14:23] heh
[14:23] no that your proof sounds a almost plausable
[14:23] its just... everything is so mathamatical
[14:24] Mathematical even
[14:24] I mean... even if it isn't obvious... if you look at something... you can reduce it to mathematical equations
[14:24] and computer programs are a grouping of equations
[14:24] So the universe is one big equation
[14:24] say the Operating System
[14:25] and then the galaxies are all the system processes
[14:25] and the star systems inside those galaxies are all routines
[14:25] and the planets sub-routines
[14:25] and you can just keep taking it down
[14:25] everything is mathematical
[14:25] well, I just hope the system never crashes
[14:25] heh
[14:26] nah don't worry
[14:26] God is running linux
[14:26] heh
[14:26] and real nice battery backups
[14:26] heh
[14:26] I just formed a new religion here today... codeology
[14:26] heh
[14:26] or codenism
[14:27] I at least proved Genesis
[14:27] heh
[14:28] see God... he did become a God
[14:28] one day his skills were good enough
[14:28] and he programmed our existance
[14:28] and made himself God
[14:28] just like we can become like God...
[14:28] oi... I've got to much time on my hands
[14:29] yes you do
[14:29] but yeah... it is kinda creepy how our existance can be explained as a computer program or simulation
[14:29] I mean... EVERYTHING can be reduced to mathematical equations
[14:29] And if you pay attention like I do... you see lots of repetition
[14:29] So we are equations with a purpose
[14:30] dna may be our genetic code... but atoms... neutrons... quarks... etc are our computer code
[14:30] And the master programmer... God... coded us *nods*
[14:30] We are code *nods*
[14:31] now I can explain religion crystal clear to hard-core scientists
[14:31] and they can't argue... because everything can be reduced to math... a scientific, universal, language
[14:31] Now... scientists can't say they don't believe because science disproves religion... science PROVES religion!
[14:31] mwahahahah
[14:31] One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.
[14:32] now if that isn't revelation... I don't know what is.
[14:33] its a shame I didn't have this epiphany say wednesday at work
[14:33] because we talked about revelation and stuff in institute
[14:33] wednesday evening
[14:33] heh
[14:33] however... everyone would have just thought I was nuts... becuase they wouldn't have wanted to look at it
[14:33] and see that we can prove religion with science... the anti-religion
[14:34] I had some doubts about religion
[14:34] now I have none
[14:34] its all clear... :) yay!
[14:35] the scientist in me isn't a skeptic anymore
[14:35] It's a stunned and awed believer
[14:35] now watch... I'll die on the way home from work... and all the rest of you will die before you can tell anyone about this
[14:35] because the world isn't ready for un-deniable proof yet
[14:36] so quickly... tell everyone you know
[14:36] well... it doesn't matter
[14:36] Looks like someone likes talking to themselves.
[14:36] God could always restore us from a backup... then change the discussion before it got to the causing factors of this one
[14:36] haha its that or stare at my cubicle walls black.
[14:36] God could always restore us from a backup... then change the discussion before it got to the causing factors of this one
[14:36] haha its that or stare at my cubicle walls black.
[14:36] but I mean... read it... I just proved religion
[14:37] science can no longer say religion is nonsense
[14:37] because science proves that it is true

About time!

Supreme Court allows prosecution of medical marijuana
Monday, June 6, 2005 Posted: 10:40 AM EDT (1440 GMT)
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Federal authorities may prosecute sick people who smoke pot on doctors' orders, the Supreme Court ruled Monday, concluding that state medical marijuana laws don't protect users from a federal ban on the drug.
The decision is a stinging defeat for marijuana advocates who had successfully pushed 10 states to allow the drug's use to treat various illnesses.
Justice John Paul Stevens, writing the 6-3 decision, said that Congress could change the law to allow medical use of marijuana.
The closely watched case was an appeal by the Bush administration in a case that it lost in late 2003. At issue was whether the prosecution of medical marijuana users under the federal Controlled Substances Act was constitutional.
Under the Constitution, Congress may pass laws regulating a state's economic activity so long as it involves "interstate commerce" that crosses state borders. The California marijuana in question was homegrown, distributed to patients without charge and without crossing state lines.
Stevens said there are other legal options for patients, "but perhaps even more important than these legal avenues is the democratic process, in which the voices of voters allied with these respondents may one day be heard in the halls of Congress."
California's medical marijuana law, passed by voters in 1996, allows people to grow, smoke or obtain marijuana for medical needs with a doctor's recommendation. Alaska, Colorado, Hawaii, Maine, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Vermont and Washington state have laws similar to California.
In those states, doctors generally can give written or oral recommendations on marijuana to patients with cancer, HIV and other serious illnesses.
In a dissent, Justice Sandra Day O'Connor said that states should be allowed to set their own rules.
"The states' core police powers have always included authority to define criminal law and to protect the health, safety, and welfare of their citizens," said O'Connor, who was joined by other states' rights advocates.
The legal question presented a dilemma for the court's conservatives, who have pushed to broaden states' rights in recent years, invalidating federal laws dealing with gun possession near schools and violence against women on the grounds the activity was too local to justify federal intrusion.
O'Connor said she would have opposed California's medical marijuana law if she was a voter or a legislator. But she said the court was overreaching to endorse "making it a federal crime to grow small amounts of marijuana in one's own home for one's own medicinal use."
The case concerned two seriously ill California women, Angel Raich and Diane Monson. The two had sued then-U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft, asking for a court order letting them smoke, grow or obtain marijuana without fear of arrest, home raids or other intrusion by federal authorities.
Raich, an Oakland woman suffering from ailments including scoliosis, a brain tumor, chronic nausea, fatigue and pain, smokes marijuana every few hours. She said she was partly paralyzed until she started smoking pot. Monson, an accountant who lives near Oroville, California, has degenerative spine disease and grows her own marijuana plants in her backyard.

I can so see what is happening in this FX docudrama "Oil Storm" actually happening... I've always said something like this could happen... we can only process oil in fewer areas than you canc ount with one hand... it'd only take 1 group of terrorists or one natrual disaster to disable a good percent of our ability to process crude oil... I wouldn't be suprised if sometime in the next few yeasr similiar events left us in the same situation as that in this film
