Seriously, What Have You Learned Today?

[Genivaria]

I have learned there is a Zeitgeist Chapter meeting today at 6 for Texas on Teamspeak.

Mayan Ball Game > Everything

No-one even knows the rules for that or what the object of the game was.

To pick sacrifices and keep the sun from going out.

I'm just leaving my statement right there.
I don't really care. It's not like evolution disproves the Bible anyway.
*shrug*

What more do we need to disprove a fictional story?

It's not entirely fictional. A lot of the details of Jesus's life are supported by other contemporary sources. The old testament, not so much.

I refuse to accept the existence of Solomon. No creature on earth could be that bad ass without tearing a hole in the fabric of spacetime.

This new information awes me, Deus. Please, elaborate without mentioning the ill-known Josephus.

I hereby declare Deus in Machina, Queen of Everything!

I will rule by the twin virtues of wisdom and insanity.

Excellent, my liege. *bows*

That's exactly what he did. He opened a wormhole to Soviet-era Romania and adopted the name Vladislav.

Even the great William Jennings Bryan admitted that he thought Genesis may very well be not all literal.

Which of the two creation stories do you believe in, if I may ask?

I just like reminding people who think all Christians are idiots that the one who made the Big Bang theory was a Catholic priest, and that Newton was a staunch Christian.

The one which talks about evolution, as per the Vedas.

Or if you want the future hobby of wandering by murder scenes, taking one look at the body, profiling the killer to the minutest detail, and then walking right back past the baffled detectives while smoking a cigar.

There isn't even enough evidence to support claims that Jesus ever existed. I neither believe nor disbelieve, but I'm curious to see your supporting information.

Nice.

Yippy, fallout reference.

I learned I made a accidental Fallout reference.

Not all Christians are the same, this I know. All believing Christians, however, make the same illogical leap of faith.

Indeed. It wouldn't have made any sense otherwise.

Which of the two creation stories do you believe in, if I may ask?

Is unsure an acceptable answer?

Besides, I'm more concerned with the New Testament anyway, or at least the Gospels.

Indeed, that is reasonable.

I actually don't know much about it, but it's a pet interest of a friend of mine. He's mentioned by certain Roman scholars like Pliny, Tacitus, and Seutonius. Some stuff about him in the Talmud. A few Greek philosophers like Lucian and Celsus. There's a historian named John Dickson who writes about this stuff. He's apparently considered reliable and unbiased. It's not a particular area of interest for me, but if you want to look it up, go ahead.

I learned that the old WHYLT is still un-archived...

And you were a Christian until at least the last 2 weeks...

Anyhow, it's not totally illogical.
Some of the people are absolutely illogical, but the religion isn't.
