Other than that, I do not consider a human born with an eventually fatal disorder evidence for any kind of mighty, superintelligent and benevolent being.
Quoting myself:
Tau has written
If I were trying to manipulate a large audience into believing a story I wanted to tell them, that'd be my course of action.
Now I know what the motivation behind this is.
Tau: The story is true. He died and over 1500 people were at his funeral, or do you think that he's in front of the computer, with one hand on the hamburger and the other one on the mouse laughing at us?http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2081370/Ben-Breedlove-Parents-brought-tears-saw-sons-videos-near-death-experiences.html
Tau has written DannyDeth has writtenNope, there isn't. Without the emotions we have, nothing would have ever been done by the human race. No book written, no thesis protested, no discovery made. What drives us forward and makes us want to carry on living are our emotions. Without emotion, we wouldn't be human.
That, of course, depends on what you call an emotion and what else you are talking about when talking about human minds.
By emotion, i mean any and every feeling ( other than ones generated by physical means, such as touch, hearing, sight, etc ) we have. Without interest, would we want to push past the galaxy barrier and into the wide unknown? Without fear, would the Cold War have started? Nope. Nothing would have EVER been done by humans that could be considered an achievement if it were not for emotion.
Tau: What propaganda? dENd has writtenDo you worship Satan or God?

Now you say emotions are "feelings" (whatever that should be) that come from the inside, without direct connection to physical events outside the body.
No, you don't score a point for that. This doesn't answer anything about emotions.
If you want to say that everything within us with the exception of our senses is responsible for everything we humans ever do, then you're trivially right, but that's not a sound (meaningful) argument.
However, my point from above (how humans high on emotion act irrationally) still stands.
A religious propaganda, as the educated reader might have guessed.
