Once my friend thought that he was a God after a little "doping" He was silent and moving his hands in a funny way. Later he told me that he was commanding everything. That's why drugs are bad

i believe in God in a Christian sense (i am a Christian, after all), and i also understand that our emotions/decisions are caused by chemical reactions in our bodies and brains. this is obvious when you think how drugs can affect your emotions and your "soul" can't force you to act in a rational way. Quote:
So it is kind of destiny, because it is possible to calculate what you are going to do but you don't know it... That's what i call destiny.
i used to wonder about this. it makes sense though. there's nothing you can do about it -- if you try to act differently because of this knowledge, your acquisition of this knowledge could be factored into the calculation and (theoretically) you would not have actively made any difference to your future.
some people have issues with the biblical idea of "predestination" -- that we who are predestined to be Christians are the only ones who will ever be Christians. this "programmed destiny" idea makes sense and fairness of this.
that leads to one thing i don't like about the movie "deja vu": spoiler warning! don't read if you don't want to know anything about the ending of the movie DEJA VU!
all the signs that he interfered with the past are there -- his blood everwhere, the crashed ambulance, etc. the movie adhered to this idea for a little while when he caused the past death of his partner. there is no reason/stimulus/factor that can cause him to succeed this time, however, when the first time round all these changes were still there but the ferry STILL blew up, she STILL died, she STILL lost a finger.
no more spoilers!

no such thing as a spirit/soul
simply your brain. And when you die, there will be nothing more...
So if you think that you are only a piece of material, that after death is lost forever, why do you keep living if you dont have nothing to win with this?
Hard question inst it?
no, its no hard question
although i believe in being a spiritual existance (being millions of years old) i think even here there is a lot to win, or loose. you can have children and keep the thing running. you can have fun in your live no matter whether its your first, last or only one.
what are we really?? i'd love to say we are somewhat organized energy and yes, we are god

Hehehehe, yeah, he did. The hypnotist, the guy asking for directions, used a technique called 'mirroring' along with some powerful suggestions. He's pointing in the same way as the guy, bending forward to get his attention. Then he takes a few steps back and the guy responds by moving towards the hypnotist again. This means he's got the attention needed and so he goes on giving more suggestions. Notice how the hypnotist is mumbling some things in between in a very natural way (as in not demanding, but just kindly asking) and after doing all that he has the full attention of this guy, thén he makes the last suggestion of giving him his belongings by handing over the bottle and wanting things back in return. The latter is a psychological thing, it's very natural to give something and expect something in return. The guy at that point is so confused that he's even willing to give all his stuff. The guy walks away, convinced he had to give those things and convinced the guy himself was asking for directions (because of the mirroring technique), instead he was tricked by the hypnotist Derren Brown. Lol, not once, but twice. The bottle came into play the second time, triggering the same attention at once and Derren Brown was able to pull the stunt of again. Great stuff! By the way, for those who believe it can't go (nearly) wrong (and perhaps even become insane), take a look at this most interesting video; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEuKgEjwi6AI'm pretty sure the guy would have gotten serious problems if Derren didn't act upon it like he did, Cheers
