Do inanimate objects have a "life"?

**markman** · 09-06-2009 08:17 PM

I feel the same way. I always get very emotionally attached to characters in books and movies and anime. Particularly Ender from Ender's Game and Ichigo from Bleach. A lot of Harry Potter too. Also, when I'm in a tantrum I might throw a stuffed animal or other inanimate objecty like a CD or a book and then I feel regret because I believe I have hurt them and they don't deserve it.

When you feel so strongly about something that "Doesn't Exist", you are pretty much pulling it into existence by having it in your heart and loving and caring for it.

I do often get emotionally attached to characters in books and games and in a lesser degree films and TV-series. I have several books I read regularly because I start missing the characters after a time. However, this does not make them real to me. They are purely the creation of a good author and/or story-writer. They could be said to have semblance of life, but not actual life.

Are you saying that you are not telling a lie if you believe what you are saying, even if it has no evidence, is true? Because even if it seems abundantly true, if you have no support or evidential reasoning for what you are saying, you are simply conjecturing. And if you say that you have evidential reasoning when you know that you do not but still say it anyway.. then you are lying.

Creationists have proof.

Don't even ask. The reason I don't post it is because I don't want yet fifty more harrasing posts to respond to.

Now can we keep this post debate free? Honestly, this isn't even the religion section.

We shouldn't have to ask. You should be presenting it on the other thread that you started called "'refutes' against evolution". So why the fuck are you dicking around on this thread instead of debating on that one? Is it because you are trying to run down time until you can't edit the OP anymore? Did you stick that nonsense about mutations not being heritable in there so that you could cross something out and make it look like you are showing a grain of intellectual integrity?

Well man, this is the last time I'm replying to you on this post.

I called the thread "Refutes for evolution"

Not "arguments in creationisms favor"

I will get around to it tomorrow, now stop asking. I've already said this SO many times.
