how can a robot be female?
be male or female is for living stuff only
Negative. For instance... In electrical and mechanical trades and manufacturing, each half of a pair of mating connectors or fasteners is conventionally assigned the designation male or female. The "female" connector is generally a receptacle that receives and holds the "male" connector. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_of_connectors_and_fasteners |

Has anyone seen the movie, The Sunset Limited? I caught the end of it the other day and was amazed by how much of what Tommy Lee Jone's character said resonated with me. I put together a few quotes from the movie. (Not too sure about the exact order it was said in.) "Rage is really only for the good days. The truth is there's little of that left. the truth is that the forms I see have been slowly emptied out. They no longer have any content. They are shapes only. A train, a wall, a world. Or a man. A thing dangling in senseless articulation in a howling void. No meaning to its life. Its words. Why would I seek the company of such a thing? Why?
I don't believe in God. Can you understand that? Look around you man. Cant you see? The clamor and din of those in torment has to be the sound most pleasing to his ear. And I loathe these discussions. The argument of the village atheist whose single passion is to revile endlessly that which he denies the existence of in the first place. Your fellowship is a fellowship of pain and nothing more. And if that pain were actually collective instead of simply reiterative then the sheer weight of it would drag the world from the walls of the universe and send it crashing and burning through whatever night it might yet be capable of engendering until it was not even ash. And justice? Brotherhood? Eternal life? Good god, man. Show me a religion that prepares one for death. For nothingness. There's a church I might enter. Yours prepares one only for more life. For dreams and illusions and lies. If you could banish the fear of death from men's hearts they wouldn't live a day. Who would want this nightmare if not for fear of the next? The shadow of the axe hangs over every joy. Every road ends in death. Or worse. Every friendship. Every love. Torment, betrayal, loss, suffering, pain, age, indignity, and hideous lingering illness. All with a single conclusion. For you and for every one and everything that you have chosen to care for. There's the true brotherhood. The true fellowship. And everyone is a member for life.
Your god must once have stood at a dawn of infinite possibilities, and this is what he's made of it. You tell me that I want God's love? I don't. Perhaps I want forgiveness, but there's no-one to ask it of. And there's no going back, there's no setting things right, there's only the hope of nothingness.... I yearn for the darkness. I pray for death. Real death." - Cormac McCarthy, The Sunset Limited  <edit> Found a short Youtube clip of this. Enjoy. The Sunset Limited - Ending Scene |

Look at all the fun you have had in your life. And you want to allow others to deny that to still others? Have a little mercy.
In some customs people wear black and 'mourn' when a baby is born, and wear white and rejoice when someone dies, because they believe life is suffering. |

Of course I am not a fan of pain and suffering either, who is really? But my question then is why would God then choose to suffer with us? He did not have to do that either. It becomes more a question of trusting Him in spite of the pain and suffering we are enduring during our short time here on earth and allowing Him to use that pain. Diamonds can't shine unless they have been polished. Flowers can't grow unless they have had rain. We all have long roads and long journeys in our lives but God can help us see that there can be treasures hidden in the painful things we go through, if we just let him use those things! I like to say that the greatest treasure in my life came through pain and suffering, the pain and suffering Jesus endured on the cross for me.
Also, there is something miraculous in how God is able to use our suffering for good. In fact, He even promises to "work out all things for the good of those called according to His purpose." Regardless of how much I dislike pain and suffering, I trust that God has a plan and He does promise that He will wipe "all tears from our eyes" someday.
Your diamond and flower analogies have nothing to do with pain and suffering. Trusting god has a reason for it is not comforting. Trusting Jesus is the son of god or that he died for our sins seems ludicrous to me. There is just no need for any of it. Being omnipotent means you are all powerful. The only reason anything exists, the way it is, is because you meant for it to be that way. Once more, if I was god and loved you unconditionally (the way you believe god does) I would not need you to worship me, or need to test you, or make you endure any hardship to prove your loyalty to me. Do you do this to your children if you love them, or ask them to prove their love for you? No, of course you don't. That's rediculous - correction - that's psychotic. |

God told us how to act - one simple rule in the Garden - don't eat the one kind of fruit. We listened to the devil - a formerly good angel who corrupted himself - and caused our own destruction by eating the fruit.
Why would god create something (the fruit of knowledge) only to deny us it? Why would god create an angel only to cast it into hell? This is insane, at the very least sadistic. This is an age old question. How could a loving God allow suffering?
There is of course the question of God giving us "free will" which allows us to make choices.
I knew this would be the argument. Being an all powerful omnipotent being, god can grant 'free will' without pain and suffering. Let me just say, if I were god I would not need to test you. I would not create things to torture them or even leave them in uncertainty. (I could write a book on this, but I'd rather not.) <edit> Ok for the sake of argument here's one example of god creating something specifically for pain and suffering. Why is there a need for such excruciating pain? "In the Schmidt sting pain index, a 0 is given to a sting from an insect that can not break through human skin, a 2 is given for intermediate pain, and a 4 is given for intense pain. Tarantula hawks, have a sting rating of 4. The sting is described as "blinding, fierce, and shockingly electric. A running hair dryer has been dropped into your bubble bath." Only the sting of the Bullet Ant is ranked higher, with a 4+ rating." Why is there a need for such suffering? "As the larva feeds on its host, it saves the vital organs, such as the heart and central nervous system, for last. By waiting until the final larval instar, it ensures the spider will not decompose before the larva has fully developed." |

I'm going to keep this as short as possible. I've come to the realization that I am not an atheist. I am actually antitheist, since I am repulsed by the thought of there being a god character responsible for bringing things like suffering, horror and despair into existence. A god capable of creating any existence could have created it to be perfect or 'heavenly' in the first place. Therefore I find the god character loathsome and despicable. Even the (agnostic) uncertainty of god's existence and intentions is in and of itself taxing, like a form of cancer. This is why people of faith believe without question. Yet a god wanting to have a relationship with its creation obviously wouldn't be so ambiguous. So you see, the idea of there being no god is by far more preferable to me than the idea of there being one, since if there is one I could not despise it more. Have a nice day.  |

Far Cry 3 and Battlefield Bad Company 2
Are you planning on buying Far Cry 4? I love making maps and made a few wicked ones in FC2, but sadly FC3 didn't have a map editor. I was happy to learn they brought it back for FC4. Let me guess, you made maps where your friends get lost in them? Nah, you couldn't get lost in them. That's just annoying. Looking realistic and aesthetically pleasing was important to me, but making them free-flowing and easy to find action was always first and foremost in the design. There were indeed passages you could explore that weren't always obvious, which not only had strategic advantages, but they often had Easter eggs to discover within. The only real bad thing was the HUGE file sizes, which kept many people from downloading them. That's the only thing people complained about. Otherwise, people told me they were fun as hell to play. For me, it was quite satisfying making the maps and a real blast playing them. |
