That's the beauty of it. To me, it doesn't matter how they use the information; the fact that I have passed the information is more than enough for me to feel that I have done well in life.
and you will cease remembering! Only your existant form will have "happiness" but in the end, you will remember nothing, since non-existance lacks remembering.

Like I said, I have a reason to exist. However, if I didn't have a reason, then there isn't a point to exist.
Ok so you see my reasoning.. but since I just sorta crept away without finishing this squabble, I left you in the dark on how it all comes together.*whistles*

I don't understand how it's a paradox.
A philosophical paradox is a type of paradox that is true, but does not want to be believed. Like for example, the argument that free will doesn't exist is a philosophical paradox.
QUOTE
According to your analogy of this paradox, it won't only be one if I were to have no reason to live and still commit to my life. However, I have given you a reason. You have not shown me why it is bad except by saying that it could be worthless in the end. This is not an arguement. This is telling me that I might be wrong. Like "OMG", I already know that. Likewise, I'm telling you that you might also be wrong. The difference is, I've accepted that fact, you haven't.
Alright, then I will show you exactly how it fails.
Cheeze, do you remember back in the days of proving evolution? I believe you do remember the argument "Given an infinite amount of years, evolution WILL have happened.. even if it's 1 in a million chance of happening." Ah.. those were the days.

But NOW, oh yes, I get to use that very argument against you! Is "the death of all mankind" a possibility? Of course! Now, I have proved already that an infinte past cannot exist. So then, how can I use this argument? By using the future!
As we know, the future is constantly being made, turning into the present, and sinking into the past. That means that sooner or later ANY possibility will happen! As we keep extending the years foreward, chance starts weighing upon the possibilities of all mankind being wiped out.. and sooner or later.. IT MUST HAPPEN! You have been trapped in your own law!
If my coarseness of words confused you, let me put it in simple form:
1) Evolutionists have constantly stated "Since we have infinite past behind us, evolution would happen even if it has a 1/10000000 chance of occuring."
2) If you care you look up the topics I've made, you will see I disproved that infinity can exist in the tangible world. Therefore, the statement above has been busted.
3) BUT, the logic from it still retains its value. I pit your own logic against you: "Since we have a neverending future in front of us, the destruction of humanity must happen even if it has a 1/10000000 chance of occuring."
4) Therefore, it's not that your works "could" be worthless; they WILL.... be worthless. Because, in the end, the ceasing existance of humanity WILL OCCUR!
5) In conclusion, ANYTHING you do for yourself OR for others WILL... in the end..
be meaningless! No one will remember! No one will even HAVE THE ABILITY TO REMEMBER!
So then, you were saying?

As a note personally to Kirby: Your arguements are getting weaker and weaker.
I'll just use your own against you then!
QUOTE
You used to know what you're doing.
I'm sorta confused.. I thought you ALWAYS thought I had no clue what I was doing.. lol
QUOTE
It seems you now have also fallen into the holes of creating excuses. You know, ad hocs.
You seem to forget that everything, in essence, is an ad hoc. We just say it's not an ad hoc because it's "pragmatic".
QUOTE
If I were you, I would get out of them now and actually think about what you're doing. Think logically. Not spiritually.
I've been thinking spiritually?

Where'd you get that from? I'm just stating that those who believe in Christianity (bring others to God or w/e) have some reason to "keep existing", even though it's a false one since we're assuming there's nothing after life.
