I think that the President, as leading politician for a country should be advocating peace and prosperity rather than war and pestilence. Killing, organised or unorganised,is never justifiable so no, the President shouldn't be required to serve in the military.
[QUOTE="jointed"]I personally don't believe in heaven...but how can you be so sure that we're going to reincarnate?xaos
It's the only plausible alternative there could be to an afterlife imo. I mean, energy cannot be created nor destroyed, so the energy like brain activity, movement etc has to go somewhere...right?
Why not into a new human?
Energy cannot be created or destroyed; however, the second law of thermodynamics tells us that all closed systems over time tend toward higher entropy states. Life requires highly ordered systems and eventually the universe will simply no longer be hospitable to it. The energy that animates your body is principally stored in ATP in your body's cells. Mitochondrial action and the decay action of microorganisms upon your death will metabolize it, so hey, the energy is not destroyed. Nor is it magically transferred into the lifestream or whatever.

Yeah it goes somewhere.. it goes to be oxidized and released as heat energy and entropy. After I die is my "Brain energy" going to float around somewhere until it finds a new body? You suggestion sound like so wacky new-age nonsense, sorry.
if we re-incarnate howcome the number of people on earth has increased exponentially?muppet1010
Yeah I thought of that before. But then I realised, why should energy just come from humans to create other humans? Surely energy is not just exclusive.
For instance, if a moth died, why could all of that being not go into producing one extra human being by becoming a sperm? A disgusting thought nonetheless.

because then it means that we could be born again into a new life and starting all over again. What actually sucks is the process going over and over again. Because that means one way or another we're gonna have to experience the end of the world. I don't wanna experience the end of the world. :(
