There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.

Murder[edit]

It was a murder. Her soul was still in her body. Talsley (talk) 18:42, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

I have it on good authority that the soul was reincarnated, so it's all good. Pink mowse.pngGodotThe Peyote God awaits 18:56, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
All souls are reincarnated except suicides, but so long as the body lives the soul remains. Talsley (talk) 19:56, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
What definition of 'living' are you using? As you might know, the different between being alive and being dead isn't a simple binary switch but a continuum. How is having a basically dead brain still count as 'being alive'? If her 'soul' was going to be reincarnated anyways, why would it matter that she wasn't kept alive in a basically dead state?

The normal common sense definition! Talsley (talk) 21:31, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
Which breaks down in exactly this situation. Peter Monomorium antarcticum 21:33, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
Which is my point exactly! Talsley (talk) 21:37, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

Troll

I wasn't totally sure before, but yeah, troll. Sometimes it's fun to engage trolls though. Fidgetertalk to me :D|see my shit 23:26, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
She's not a troll, she's someone who disagrees with you. And she's mostly an idiot. But that doesn't make one a troll.Pink mowse.pngGodotGrow a vagina 23:30, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
