The real question is what is the purpose?
The natural drive of life is to live and to be happy. Our honor as thinking creatures is to pursue that drive in a way that minimizes suffering for others. |

Why do people fall in love with others?

Don't join a religion you don't believe in. It'll just make you bitter and dull.
Keep at the interviews, don't be afraid to make a few embarrassing calls afterward - "do you mind if I ask you what I could have done to improve my interview performance?" Get a job, be chill and not creepy, make friends. That's how half the world does it after graduating. |

A martial arts class will help all of your problems. And thats serious advice, not bison's bot-back.
I don't know what 'bot-back' means, though I assume we're working off the Turing test analogy, but a martial arts class is one of about 700 things that he could do, |

Considering I don't believe in a personal God/Christianity anymore, how open or expressive should I be about my beliefs when I know people assume/think I'm a christian?
If it comes up, tell the truth in a gentle, non-confrontational and non-condescending way. Also, should I go to christian groups because friends are there or I enjoy meeting new people when I know because of that I will be assumed to have values or beliefs I do not have or thought to be a hypocrite? If you enjoy it above the board, do it. If people find out you're not toeing the party line, the worst that happens is you talk about it. |

Are we really thinking persons or just meatballs that respond to events that happend in the past or present?
We are thinking meatballs. Behind the brain and the mind is you. Given a large enough field of play, the youness of you will be evident to observers. Given certain constrained circumstances, most meatballs will act in virtually identical ways. Spend the money now. |

because evil has a defined meaning that is dependent upon specific actions.
Huh? because evil is defined by what the need can make us do. Huh? however, evil may not be wrong and I think this is where you got lost. Huh? |
