I still believe that, no matter what the situation...
Instinct=Protect your children

in answer to the original question i would kill my loved one in order to get the powers. then i would ressurect them, and use my power to do things for myself and my loved ones. then help the world if i have time :) :)

Heres a mind tickler from Descartes

Everything you know, is gained from knowing that it (whatever you know) is clear and distinct, but what if your mind is decieving you into believing that knowledge is clear and distinct, when in actuality it isn't.

Descartes-" that can't happen because god would not allow me to be cevieved when I am using my mental faculties properly, since god gave them to me to use for aquiring knowledge (clear and distinct ideas)

How then can you be sure that god exists, what are your clear and distinct ideas.


His answere was "because I have a clear and distint reason that god exists."

Highlight for his answere, but be aware its a Cartesian Circle.

.... I think, therefore I pwn you.

Actually, that is a famous Descartes quote, but most people don't know who said it.

Unit 03, I had to study Des Cartes in my Religious Studies classes. I hate his logical notions, because they're boring and stupid. I mean, hell, the man thought the soul resided in the petuitary gland. That question only works if you're JudeoChristian, anyway. In my world, nothing's promised, nothing is totally secure. Besides besides BESIDES, as someone who is mentally ill, fuck it. I don't really have "clear" and "distinct" ideas.

However Des Cartes would say that my illness, especially mental, stems from my disconection with "God."

Rayne, I agree with you totally. I could not, under any circumstances kill my loved one, even to become a Goddess. The Morrigan is doing an excellent job, Herself, anyway.

Descartes was a schmuck. But then, so are most philosophers anyway. They tend to leave out the "I think..." before telling you how the world works.

"Cogito Ergo Sum" - I think, therefore, I am.

The original quote from Reneé Descartes.

I have heard of two variations:

"Cogito Ergo Sum Atheos" - I think, therefore, I am without God (or "an Atheist")

And I created my own:

"Cogito Ergo Sum Doleo" - I think, therefore, I am in pain.

*FADE OUT*

I would do it for free.

Immortality would probably suit me, but, since its "the loved one" case, it's gonna have to be the CheebaGod thing.
Unless I read the small print,
and the "resurrection of brutally murdered loved one" was something that I, being a "Murderous god" wasn't "entitled" to.]
