Do humans or the idea of humans exist in My Little Pony?

[Eenohay 318]

Bit of a side track here, but...there is an entire universe to run. Why should God waste time fulfilling your expectations? Who are you? Just one insignificant human. He has more important things to concern Himself with, like the war against all evil and making sure all organic life isn't wiped out in the process.

 

Your statement is offensive and disrespectful. Would you bow to the Queen of England and call her "your highness"? or would you expect to see the proof of her royal lineage for yourself before you show her proper respect.

 

I didn't mean to be offensive or anything. I simply do not believe there is a god. If there was one, and he was concerned about humanity, then he perfectly could come and set order, does he? No.

 

And I assume you do believe in god, well then tell me, where in the Bible does it say that there is life elsewhere? And since when God has favorites? Catholics talk all the time about how god is everywhere and he see's everything. They have told me he DOES infact concern about EVERY SINGLE BEING, but I suppose that something you say when it's convenient, and when you wan't to be disrespectful then you come and say that God doesn't give a damn about people you hate.

I think humans would ruin MLP

Who or what says that God is at war with anything at all?

Who or what says that God is a "He"?

Talking about offensive and disrespectful ...

It may just as well be, that the reason why God doesn't reveal all the glory, is because God actually respects the atheists, as i see it.

Also, this argumentation is off-topic ...

.. Or is it?

This could be an argument against including humans ...

I want to apologize for saying you were being insulting. I realize that was a harsh generalization.

 

Now on your question, there is the obvious case of the angels. They are not one, but several sentient species that work for God directly. Some look like lions, some like a man/woman hybrid, some like birds, and some like wheels with eyes along the spokes. Trust me, those guys are totally aliens. Also, I am in agreement with evolutionist that it is the height of foolishness to assume Earth is the only place life exists. Logically, we can assume that fungi are aliens. Spores can survive in the vacuum of space for an estimated 10,000 years. There are the scientific and religious reasons that I believe in the existence of aliens.

 

As for God's involvement in our lives, or lack-there-of, I've found the most rational theory on this from agnostics and atheists writing a cartoon.

 

"Being God requires a light touch. If you do to much, people will grow dependent; do to little, and they will lose faith."

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of darkness of this age, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

Ephesians 6:12 NKJ version

Sounds like a war to me.

 

As for referring to God as a "he", that is for lack of a gender neutral pronoun. I suppose you could say "it", but that implies something non-sentient or unintelligent.

 

Interesting view on why God doesn't reveal Himself. I don't agree, but can't think of anything reasonably wrong with thinking that.

But then, i tend to more or less disregard eveything that Saulus/Paulus has written ....

And even though he in a way was correct, it still doesn't say that God self is even the slightest at war.

 

I have no problem with using fitting pronouns for God.

I say God or Godself, simply.

 

After reading your reply to Eenohay, i noticed that you have a bigger understanding of religion than i first got the impression of.

I especially agree on the quote from Futurama.

Your last comment to me also shows that, since most religous ones one tend to hear from, would say that my reasoning is incorrect, since they think that God cannot be as much with an atheist, as with a "beliver" .... such as themselves, usually.

Really, i think God may have created Atheism ... but some claim that is a possible insult towards both ateists and believers ...

Anyway, to get back to the thread's topic: this kind of understanding shows that humans would not automatically cause problems in the MLP-world.

[Dusk the Unicorn 26]

I'm kind of curious about humans in MLP...mainly how little (or large) the ponies would be in comparison to them.

[TwiForLife 87]

Should humans be in MLP:FiM?

 

[Crystal Sparkle 344]

Wouldn't that be wierd?

[Fox 5,331]

I don't think this would a good idea... Only person I think should ever be there would be Lauren Faust, if there was a human appearance in the show.

[XMark 18]

The show's perfectly fine without humans in it.

 

Maybe an episode where Twilight accidentally teleports the mane 6 into our dimension and everyone's like WTF talking ponies, but they make it back to Equestria at the end.

[Snow Shadow 41]

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo humans! I like my escapism very much thank you.

[DozzyDash 24]

That would be weird.., considering they are my LITTLE pony means that the humans would be like giants. I don't want that.

[Xent 7]

I think there should be an episode about some guy teleported by mistake in ponyville,everypony is having doubts about him,then the mane 6 will take care of him until Celestia sends him back to earth.It should take one episode so that there won't be much human stuff,also everypony's reaction would be nice to see, that guy telling them a little about earth,pretty much like the Zecora episode but harsher,emotional.(you will know if you read any human/pony crossovers in Equestria fanfics)

 

The again the show is "My little pony" so everything humanish,let alone the humans must be irrelevant.

[Akemi Homura 7,681]

Two big topics talking about the general idea of humans in FiM - that deserves a merge.

[NavelColt 22,883]

Should they be in the show? No. Humans ruin everything. Cause we suck, have wars, spread hate based on retarded things, pollute the planet, etc. Ponies have none of these things. They are a more mature society as a whole.

 

Does the idea of humans exist in MLP? I doubt it. From what we've seen, every species is based around animals of both realistic and mythological proportions. The entire world functions on it's own in that setting perfectly, and to me, there's really no place for humans to both fit in and make sense, or have a purpose of being there.

[Lunar Sun 11]

Gee. It went from: Do humans exist? To, Should they exist? All I wanted was an opinion on question #1. I never thought it could turn out like this! I don't care. Carry on with questions # 1 or 2. I think they are a myth and that they shouldn't exist. Lets face it we are bad people. We would probably ruin their lives and turn Equestria into Earth. We are NOT good.

[Guile 18]

There's been no mention of humans, but with the ponies using tools designed for human hands like hammers, it makes you wonder.

[RoboGuy9000 103]

They do have humans in MLP, in every episode.

It's called the credits.

[I Have Left MLP Forums 100]

You know I brought that topic up before! Even though today glue is not usually made from horses, it is still made from Rabbits and other small animals...

 

So where in Equestria did Sweetie Belle get her glue from...

 

 

Uh-oh! I think I see a grimdark fic opportunity... what to call it... Hearts and Crafts?

 

Glue comes from goats I believe...

Lets not get fan-fic crazy now...

[Samurshy 708]

Thousands of years ago, mythological creatures and humans lived together in harmony. Humans helped invent some of the most advanced technologies that the mythological creatures still use today. But one day, a group of evil humans lead by a man named Lucifer decided to try and enslave the mythological creatures and use them for menial tasks. This enraged princess Celestia and as a result Celestia was going to wipe them from the face of Equestria. But a simple act of kindness from a child assuaged Celesetia's rage. So instead Celestia decided to create a different world separate from Equesrtria, named Earth. Celestia then sent all the humans to Earth and sealed the gate between the two world, so that they would never meet again.

 

^ That is a snip it from a Fanfic I decided to write.

[Bbplsloveme 42]

well in one episode they show a inflated tire, and according to MLD 2 earth is a prison for ponies who are bad

[Samurshy 708]

Oh? Never read it. Do the bad ponies get there vocal cords removed and cutie marks revoked before being sent here?

[Totally Ducklett 181]

In the episode "Baby Cakes", there's a scene of the little fillies' bedroom where on the wall you can see drawings of a humanoid shaped being and some other thing (forgot what the other thing was). Do you guys think that a human appearance is possible next season? If so, I personally think the episode would deal with something darker like war between races and other forms of social issues. What do you guys think?

As much as i would love that, remember, this show is oriented for young girls to watch, so they wouldn't get too serious about war and governments. Btw, the human thing is next to a picture of the moon, so maybe they're saying humans are on the moon!!! Just a thought.

 

Well, this goes into the mysterys of space. Mlp could take place in a different universe or galaxy that we have no knowledge about. The human thing was next to a picture of the moon, so maybe... they're saying humans are in space?

[TVhead 4]

I think the theory that humans went extinct is probably the most accurate. In Hearts and Hooves Day, the camera exposes the different layers of dirt. At the bottom are car tires, while it gradually turns to horse shoes and then the surface.

 

 

[Zygen 6,066]

Eh, probably not, to ponies we're probably some ancient civilization that died out eons ago or something crazy like that , or maybe Equestria isn't even a part of Earth, I don't really know about that for sure.

 

I don't think humans should be apart of the show though, I get my fair share of humans IRL, I don't really need anymore, plus humans in this type of thing probably would help nothing.. The ponies have a darn good society going on, no need to add some human and screw it all over.
