Descartes went into a bar and was asked if he wanted a drink. He answered, "I think not." and vanished. Why?

Because he previously said, "I think, therefore I am."\n\nIf he thinks not, he *is* not.

It seems that when asked what he meant by this remark, Einstein replied ‘Nature hides her secret because of her essential loftiness, but not by means of ruse’. Whenever i've seen an Einstein quote refering to god or religion, he appears to be instead refering to the universe. I'd say that by this quote he was voicing his displeasure at quantum mechanics and it's implications that there are certain things that are simply unknowable (such as whether schroedingers cat is dead or alive, as indicated by the poster above).

hmmm, perhaps. You need to define "tipsy". Is it a term people have come up with so they are now not inebriated just because it is not so strong a word? It is true Jesus converted water to wine (John2:3-11) just no mention of him drinking any, so we do not know, for a certaint. If he did drink some, he did not get drunk because that is not condoned (1Cor6:9-11). Timothy was also counseled to drink a little wine for his stomach (1Tim5:23), so for a  certainty, from both of these, we know having a drink is OK.\n\nTherefore, it is a conscience matter with respect as to whether one has got a little too "tipsy" and whether we may offend another, which is in and of itself, inappropriate. (1Cor8:7-13)

"A drunk mans words are a sober mans thoughts"  Get him hammered and ask him.  Also he might just be afraid to ask because when you say how much you like someone you put yourself on the line, if they don't feel the same way, you can get really hurt.

Well I already thought that he might not exist, but I was proven wrong by God himself as he came into my life answering my prayeri nstantly showing me the way, as I asked of him.Therefore I know  there is no way it could bre proven in any way that he didn't exist only to the contrary that he doesYou can't prove what isn't true terefore you can't prove He is not existing! Otherwise it would have been proven by now seing there are so many!trying to disprove His existance.

He's been sitting too long mediating and his legs went to sleep. \nBut seriously, how many people would take that guy serious. He knows it is futile, to teach any individual about enlightenment. Everyone has to come to that on his/her own

Aha! The liar paradox rears its ugly head again....\n\nThe asnwer is - neither true nor false. The propositional content and the semantic content of the statement contradict each other.\n\nTo unpick this paradox, you have to separate the statement from the proposition it contains. \nNote that the proposition has a positive truth value - it claims that "[yadda yadda] IS [bladiblah]"\n\nNow...\n\nIf the statment is true, the proposition that it contains is rendered false, leading to a self-contradiction.\nSo [This statement is false.] is false.\nBut if it is false that the statement is false then the proposition it contains is rendered true, and again the statement is rendered self-contradictory.\n\n(Repeat ad nauseum)\n\nIf you got that, ponder this one. It's a doozy:\n\n"This staitmennt contaynes three mistakes"

He forgot to prove there was a soul.

Between the time the bartender told you to leave, and when the cops arrived you must of had an opportunity to go out the door. That action would have shown you intended to comply with the bartenders order, you wouldn't have been ID'd, and no complications. Usually bartenders are legal agents for the owners and have the authority to remove patrons without giving a reason for doing so. It may be a place that is open to the public, but not public property. \nFind another place that is more relaxed.\n\nThe usual conversation:\nCop:(to you) Did this bartender tell you to leave?\nYou: Yes.\nCop: Then why are you here?

Some questions include:\n1) Did the Consumer order a drink containing alcohol or a drink that normally contains alcohol?\n2) Did the bartender knowingly serve alcohol against the wishes of the consumer?\nIf the answer to number 1 is yes, then it would be hard to convict.\nIf the answer to number 2 is yes then it could be possible to convict, but very unlikely. Why?\n1) Warning labels on alcohol states "According to the surgeon general, women should not drink alcoholic beverages during pregnancy because of the risk of birth defects" (Doesn't state "Can not" vs "should not", and that it is a risk not a definite).\n2) At what point did the consumer know she was served alcohol?\n3) How does the bartender know the medical condition of the consumer?\n4) How was the alcohol purchased?\n5) What was the intent of the bartender?

Ice was poisoned.  He drank his drink too fast for the ice to melt and release its poison.  Others drank slowly.  Ice melted and poisoned the tea.\n\n\n(37 seconds, drat it)\n\nIt's been asked time and time again.

The quote is from Descartes' 'Discourse on Method'\n\nThe general idea is that he questions what he knows.  Assume that a grand deciever was capable of changing all you percieve (picture the Matrix etc, where something could make you see, smell etc things that aren't really there).   \n\nThe question is what can you trust.  The first assumption he makes is that no matter what 'reality' is,  the fact that he can consider his own existience, then he exists in some fashion.  'I think,  therefore I am'.  Even if he's decieved about everything,  he can trust that part. \n\nDescartes then goes on to prove the existence of god.   Quite an interesting book.

Only under one of the following two conditions:  If you drink to get drunk, or if you don't offer me one!\n\nSeriously, Paul taught us that all things are lawful, but not all things are profitable (spiritually speaking).  For example, when my children were younger, I stopped drinking all beer and wine, even though they are cultural drinks I grew up with.  Now that they are adults, I occasionally enjoy a beer or a glass of wine, but not for the purpose of anebriation(sp?).\n\nCheck your motives, then let the Holy Spirit lead you.

I think you should ask-"since this is my last quesion, what should I ask?"  In fact, you have hemmed all of us in a terrible logical warp from which we cannot escape...  \nI have only recently escaped from the last logical wormhole I got stuck in (cause I fell asleep)-here it is:\n\n\nThis statement is a lie.  True or false?

On the surface, it seems quite strange, but there are many variables which you did not describe.  For example, what are the man's mental state and cognitive ability?  Who imposed the curfew?  Why was the curfew imposed?  Is it possible that his values simply do not permit him to go into a club environment and he did not know another way to tell you that?  I would want more information before casting a judgment.

God never said that. There's no such thing as God. Someone wrote that while most likely high on weed and thought it would be a good laugh.. 'ha ha, that'll scare the crap out of them, fools' ... Unfortunately, he didn't realise at the time people would take the fairy story book so literally so the jokes actually on him.

While it may appear to you that since life dows exist which in itself is a mystery, mankind relies upon logic. When he cannot reason out the answers, determain, a formula to exctact and solve questions, discover a sep by step sequince he is then lost. When we are confused by controversy and we cannot find a conventional means to resolve our questions we become lost and will not accept what is put before us.
