We've got to the point where many, many more people are living in space than on earth, say in something like O'Neill Cylinders. We're running out of easy to get to raw materials to expand further and we have two options to get more:

1) Lift material off of the sun.

2) Demolish planets like Mercury, Venus and/or Mars.

This scenario and both solutions are totally doable with current tech and common materials.

BQ: What if we got to the point of seriously considering demolishing Earth itself?

Ok I understand why people may find "it" insulting but what's wrong with using "he," "his," etc in their neuter form?

I am British but also an American citizen but have never lived in the US and would like to experience some of what my tax money pays for. It would also help with work been in the continental US for a year or two. Which city of at least 250k people do people think would be most welcoming to me?

If you need more details I will update the question, if this is the wrong section let me know and I'll move it.

If not does their soul also get damaged? What about someone with a split brain with different personalities? Do they have two souls or one cut in half?

If so would that only be with certain aspects of it, certain possibilities, or a straight up prohibition?

I do understand that Lucifer being an adversary would technically be a Satan, but when did the title become an alias?

Do any of you even have those worries at all? Has it never occurred to you how much scarier the thought of living forever is over just dieing? Does your faith help temper any such worries?

Not a particular beliefs veracity but if someone who claims to hold a certain belief really does?

Not someone who doesn t believe in a religion, your religion, or specific supernatural claims, but doesn t accept that anyone who claims to believe does or even can?

I'm rather dubious it actually will lead anywhere for the English. We've been promised referendums on regional devolution before just to have it snatched from us at the last minute while Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland gained more powers while still having a massive influence in English only issues, especially seeing as they are over represented in the House of Commons compared to the English. I personally can only see the other states in the Union getting what they've been promised while the English regions will be ignored again.

Don't get me wrong I totally agree with devolution for the UK as a whole getting a more federal style of government, I just can't see it happening for England as the promises have always being unfulfilled.

So I'm at the point in my life where wills and such are coming to mind. I've already found out my body can't just be thrown on a landfill or shoved in a rubbish burning power stations incinerator, but now I've been told I MUST have an actual funeral ceremony of some sort or another. I really think that's a waste of money that could be better used. Is this true?

In particular the Mesopotamian/Babylonian style polytheisms that had 1 supreme god who created lesser but still unimaginably powerful gods to do his bidding? Isn't that similar to a supreme creator god creating the lesser but still unimaginably powerful angels to do his bidding? What's the difference apart from what these lesser beings are called?
