ASK ME SHIT!!!
15 years ago
Okay so, TheAmazingAtheist does a lot of Q&A videos and that sounds fun to me. But I'm gonna need me some questions! Ask me any damn thing you want. Let's try to get a good mix of funny, serious, personal and philosophical ones. I like 'What's your favorite', 'Do you support' and 'Would you rather' questions, plus ethical dilemma type stuff. Challenge me!
After a week or so I'll collect all the best questions and answer 'em in an audio file. Let's set a limit of, say, five questions per person, just so I don't get completely overwhelmed.
EDIT: Try to make the questions short enough to easily read aloud! (Landon, you forced me to do this!)
EDIT: YOUR QUESTIONS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED!!!

A madman kidnaps you, a baby, and an old man. None of you know each other. He offers you the choice of whether he will kill the old man or the baby. If you tell him to kill the old man, he will let you and the baby go free. If you tell him to kill the baby, you and the old man go free. If you refuse either choice, he'll kill all three of you. Which do you choose?

Let's see. The three principles are Truth, Love, and Courage.
Pure truth is honesty.
Truth and love is justice.
Pure love is compassion.
Love and Courage makes sacrifice.
Pure courage is valor.
Courage and truth makes honor.
Truth, Love, and Courage together is spirituality.
Independent of Truth, Love, and Courage is humility.
Which virtue do you favor? Let the reading begin!
Thou hast taken a vow upon thy honor to capture an escaped criminal. After capturing thy quarry, thou doest come to believe he has been unjustly imprisoned. Do you honor your vow by returning the accused, knowing thou canst speak with a judge about they concerns, or does thou heed justice by letting him go, knowing thou canst claim he escaped you?
Let's see about a more in depth dilemma...
You are a mayor of a small town. This town used to have several factories, and was directly on the way from one major city to another, giving it lots of driver commerce. Unfortunately, the factories were closed down to move to china, and a new highway was built that wrote the town out of the commute. With no industry and not commerce, the town is starting to die out.
Then a new opportunity arrives. Recent examinations show that the river next to your town is PERFECT for the newest hydroelectric technology. This new plant would feed both cities next to you, providing a solid source of jobs and income for the town. The problem is that the plant will cause certain homes to be flooded.
Every home-owner in the flood zones has agreed to sell except for one. That last hold-out is an elderly retired person who is afraid that losing his home will mean he will spend the rest of his life on the street. Given his age and small fixed income, this is not an unfounded concern. He has no next of kin to take him in, and is the last of his family alive.
On one hand you have the future of your town, the betterment of everyone in it, and a major help for all nearby cities. On the other hand you have one person who will suffer for it.
What do you do?
>Which virtue do you favor?
Truth. There can be no real love if the participants are not honest with each other. And courage in the absence of truth is either fanaticism or craziness.
>Do you honor your vow by returning the accused, knowing thou canst speak with a judge about they concerns, or does thou heed justice by letting him go, knowing thou canst claim he escaped you?
I let him go. I put a lot of value in my own promises. I never make a promise that I don't intend to keep. However, I will absolutely break a promise if something turns up to invalidate the reasons for me making that promise.
>On one hand you have the future of your town, the betterment of everyone in it, and a major help for all nearby cities. On the other hand you have one person who will suffer for it.
>What do you do?
This is incredibly simple. You make the local media aware of the old man's plight. You make it clear that you have empathy for the old man, but that you must seize the land for the good of the town. It's a virtual certainty that the townspeople will rally together to help the old man find a new place to live, and will probably even raise a bunch of money for him. It's common to say 'never underestimate human stupidity', but don't underestimate human charity and empathy either.
A merchant owes they friend money, now long past due. Thou dost see the same merchant drop a purse of gold. Does thou A) Honestly return the purse intact; or B) Justly give they friend a portion of the gold first?
I've lent out stuff to people before, and sometimes they just do NOT have any interest in giving it back. Sometimes not even out of malice! So, yeah, I'd take my friend's cut out, then return the purse. If he gave me any flak, I'd remind him of his debt.
Heck, I was actually in a similar situation once when I had to set up a massive lie to trick my own mother into paying me $100 she owed me. She of course got very emotional at my 'dishonesty', but her own actions had long convinced me that this was the only way I'd ever see my money.
BTW, does my answer to the old man question sound plausible to you?
(So yeah, as leader of a large group of people, secretly watch people debate issues and cherry pick the best ideas out of the comments. >_>)

Every troll on the internet who valued pop culture references as vitally important to their lifestyles would experience spontaneous combustion.
If you can recognize that and feel like I possibly insulted you, then congratulations. You're not a troll. :3
How did you find yourself thinking of things this way?
How old where you when they started?
And do you ever see yourself stopping or giving up these fantasies?
(I'm not trying to call you out on it, I have the same fantasies myself, to be honest, which is why I'm such a fan of your work. I'm just trying to understand where they come from.)

If you were to found a philosophic movement that were to become a religion of truth, how would you organize it and what would be your commandments?
If you could decide where two additional billions of science funding would go, which projects would you support or start with this money?
If you had the chance to kill someone without any repercussions, would you do it?
Have you ever had a girlfriend?
Whats the weirdest thing you can do with your body that doesn't involve your penis?
Have you been touched by His noodly appendage?
If you were the head of a charitable organization devoted to helping people in war-torn countries, would you help any village where the people would rather get a hand-out than to say, help set up tents in return for food?
I ask this question because the Red Cross has made it their goal to help eveyrone in need, even people who don't want help, just a hand-out.
Such was the case in one village somewhere in indonesia, I think..where, instead of helping the red Cross set up tents and prepare supplies for use in the village, they opted to leave and go to another village because they would rather receive a hand-out than to actually work for their meals.
One Red Cross team even tried to teach them to farm and harvest...with the same resulting abandonment of a village in search of free food.
So what would you do?
Would you gather the absolute best and brightest, the people most qualified to handle the rigors of living and working in an environment where failure of the life-support technology means death for all?
Would you make sure to include you and your closest friends, believing that spreading humanity to the stars is the only way to truly ensure long-term survival as a species?
Would you include the Amish, knowing they could probably set up a working farm even if 99% of the hydroponics and similar failed? ;)
Who else would you include?
Would you exclude people if they followed an extreme form of religion? Or any religion at all? Would you disclose this criterion?
Would you include/exclude people based on any other aspect of their political/social belief structure?
How would you handle the people who applied and were rejected? Send them away never to darken your doorstep again? Make preparations for a second colonial wave of those you wanted to take along but just weren't quite good enough to make it on the first ship? What would you do if one or more became disgruntled and attempted to sabotage the launch? (A potential solution to the last for a long-term voyage is that a true interstellar spaceship would probably have to be built either in orbit or on the Moon, as getting such a massive vehicle out of Earth's gravity well is far too expensive energy-wise, so naturally crew and passengers would be sent up in multiple small launches, easier to avoid disaster if one gets sabotaged.)
"Space colony, who would you take?"
BTW2: Misbah & I saw Scott Pilgrim today. It was so good my boner turned into the densest element in the universe. :D
Would you rather be right or be liked?
Regardless of your choice, I'd also request you give an examples of the answers(i.e., a situation where being right is better and a situation where being liked is better).
Careful, though. The answers may indeed give more insight to your personality than you are comfortable with.

Glass blowing is rightfully considered sodomy and all good Christians should abstain from it. Especially if it leads to glass felching.
By bbqs I assume you mean Big Beautiful Queers, and of course I'm in favor of them because I am king of them all.
looks like we both missed the boat on this one, what ever the shit that means.
Yes. I am.
>looks like we both missed the boat on this one, what ever the shit that means.
It means I already recorded my answers to these questions several days ago, so the journal's kinda over.
and obviously, this journal isn't over, sir.
That's right; it's FurAffinity. If it were 4chan, the background would be yellow.
are you like, autistic or something?
But the post boxes are pink.
Anyway, why do you keep treating this like /b/?
/b/ is so fucking gay and no one likes it.
That's not the background, dumbass. :)
I remembered the comment boxes being pink and that's all.
But why must you make this like 4chan, mr. /b/tard?
If that's true then they ought to get along fabulously.
You enjoy yourself there, then?
You'd enjoy yourself then?
Personally, I find myself to be more partial to the simple things, though, like taking one of thoes old bottle openers to someone's toes and fingers and using them to tear off thier fingernails. it hurts a lto, but they're less likely to go into shock, so they get to feel ALL the pain that way, and hey, I like to be efficient about things. ;3
... bonus points if the bottle opener's rusty and sharper than usual. nothing beats tetanus in your finger tips. :D
Another thing to prevent shock when removing limbs is this, have some molten wax bubbling, chop a few fingers off, dip in the wax, poke a bit, chop some toes of, dip, and continue like that. ^_^
Moreover, there's no real evidence it was ever actually done, but rather it seems it was invented as a device of Viking poetry.
Actually, yes. The /toy/ board is fantastic for having inside info on new Transformers and such.
