Things That Should Be Common Knowledge By Now

evolution is true. climate change is real and dangerous. the american civil war was about slavery.

Evolution did happen but it was set in place by God, global warming only raises the average temperature by 1 degree fahrenheit every 10 years, and the civil war was about the south wanting cultural independence from the rest of America

No.

"Cultural independence?"

What profound bullshit.

1. Questionable statement. Can you give proof? Why not just go with what the science says?
2. Exactly the problem. To show you how much that is, consider this: The ice age mean global temperature was merely ten degrees colder than now. Imagine what ten degrees hotter would mean.
3. Cultural independence? Bah, humbug. They felt threatened by Lincoln's abolitionist stances, and the entire trend against their archaic practices, and seceded to try to save the institution of slavery. That is the cultural difference that separated them.

Being a edgy militant atheist doesn't make you somehow smarter than a deist, ironic shit-posting is still shit-posting, real life white knights are dreadful.

Should Be Common Knowledge: Christians can't agree amongst themselves on what Christianity actually is.

It's rather hilarious to watch.

Blood has been spilled and they still can't agree. If anything the disagreement gets worse everyday.

I thought I made this clear just one post ago?

Oh. I thought you said that its "better" because people killed each other over it.

My apologies.

Oh, no, not in that sense. It's horrible when people actually get violent. But the arguing is hilarious.

Oh it is pretty funny watching people argue over it even though I'm a Christian myself.

There really should be a tv show dedicated to Christians arguing over doctrine. I'd especially love to see the Lutherans take on the Calvinists.

That paper money are really IOU's that were originally meant to be used to represent your gold.

Does anyone not know this? It's pretty basic history.

All of this is bullshit.

You implied that all medicine besides modern industrially-produced medicine is uniformly ineffective

I'm not fussy about whether it's "industrially-produced" -- non pharmaceutical treatments that have been shown to work are perfectly decent medicine as well. Alternative medicines are based on a variety of discredited ideas about how the world works, and in actual tests do not do anything useful beyond what can be ascribed to the placebo effect.

using the example of one particular treatment which has nothing to do with many other treatments labeled "alternative". This is extremely lazy thinking. It's just New Age gullibility in reverse.

The particular example was because, when I said it earlier in the thread, someone had given acupuncture of an case of my generalisation being false (i.e., alternative medicine working). Other forms, such as homeopathy, ear candles, or crystal healing, are just as much bullshit as acupuncture, and similarly don't work.

After all, if they consistently worked beyond a placebo, they would be used by mainstream medicine.

To anyone saying we went into Iraq for the oil, grow a brain. Imports from said country lowered post-invasion.

So you invaded Iraq for the oil, but made a complete mess of it.

At least in Britain, it appears that you're only taught in History about the Tudors, WW1 and WW2.
