Flat Earth

[Zanera]

"Yeah lets do that"

"Who's going to be the lead roll?"

"Arnold Schwarzenegger."

[Australian rePublic]

Why would NASA lie about the shapeof the Earth? I mean, lying about the moon landing has its benefits, lying about Earth's shape, I can't see any

[Sovaal]

"Who's going to be the lead roll?"

"Arnold Schwarzenegger."

"Is there going to be space chicks?"

[Zanera]

"Arnold Schwarzenegger."

"Is there going to be space chicks?"

"Yes, and Arnold's going to be a pregnant angry dad around Christmas time who was genetically engineered to be perfect."

[Sovaal]

"Is there going to be space chicks?"

"Yes, and Arnold's going to be a pregnant angry dad around Christmas time who was genetically engineered to be perfect."

"Will he accidentally kill Santa on Christmas Eve, and having to take his place, travel around the globe delivering presents, and at the end, learn the true value of friends and family?"

[Zanera]

"Yes, and Arnold's going to be a pregnant angry dad around Christmas time who was genetically engineered to be perfect."

"Will he accidentally kill Santa on Christmas Eve, and having to take his place, travel around the globe delivering presents, and at the end, learn the true value of friends and family?"

"Right after it turns into a testosterone-run high-adrenaline action movie where Arnold goes Rambo and destroys the Soviet Union and instates capitalism, yes."

"Eh, I'd watch the first five sequels."

Am I going to have to explain basic grammar to you? "Belief in a god is confounding" and "belief in a god requires confounding assumptions" are entirely different sentences with entirely different meanings.



All humans are irrational. Your belief in a god is one way in which your particular irrationality manifests.

What if you've directly experienced god or some other form of divinity, and that's why you hold your religious beliefs. Is that irrational?

Yes, because you are failing to account for the fact that your brain is flawed, and that it being a hallucination is by far the more likely explanation.

Religious experiences (direct encounters with intelligent beings that don't appear to have a physical body) are, after all, the reason religion exists at all.

No they aren't. It being a convenient method for controlling populations and keeping them loyal to you is the reason it exists.

[Melqart]

How is belief in a god confounding?

Am I going to have to explain basic grammar to you? "Belief in a god is confounding" and "belief in a god requires confounding assumptions" are entirely different sentences with entirely different meanings.

Are you saying that I'm irrational for believing in a god?

All humans are irrational. Your belief in a god is one way in which your particular irrationality manifests.

I believe in god, and I entirely disagree. Why would it be irrational to assume there's something out there that gives answers to life's questions? Does it not make sense to have an allpowerful force. It may be irrational to believe/worship in creatures that are clearly made up by an author who doesn't believe in the creature he describes, (See: Cthulhu) but a god that explains things rather then create more questions? (Not entirely true, but truer than Cthulhu) A god that was written about since the biggining of writing? I believe in the god, and that monotheistic religion. I'll tell you now, one day, you will be cowering before a god, any god, and that god, will let you in to heaven graciously.

Sorry for the extreme amounts of religiousness, I just wanted to tell him how wrong he is.

You're saying believing in a god is a brain-washing technique!!??

Believing in things without evidence that require confounding assumptions is inherently irrational.

Does it not make sense to have an allpowerful force.

Not in the least.

It may be irrational to believe/worship in creatures that are clearly made up by an author who doesn't believe in the creature he describes, (See: Cthulhu) but a god that explains things rather then create more questions? (Not entirely true, but truer than Cthulhu)

The very existence of a god in any form inherently generates all manner of unanswerable questions.

A god that was written about since the biggining of writing?

Not even remotely true in any way, shape or form.

I believe in the god, and that monotheistic religion. I'll tell you now, one day, you will be cowering before a god, any god, and that god, will let you in to heaven graciously.

Got any evidence for that? No? Then it continues to be an irrational assumption.

Sorry for the extreme amounts of religiousness, I just wanted to tell him how wrong he is.

Well you fucked that up, didn't you?

Yes, because you are failing to account for the fact that your brain is flawed, and that it being a hallucination is by far the more likely explanation.

No, I'm saying that organised religions has its origins as a method of exercising state control over the populace.

Who said I have no evidence?

Does it not make sense to have an allpowerful force.

Not in the least.

Really? So I suppose you don't believe in extremely powerful forces like.... Gravity? Also, any reason it doesn't make sense. Sure... I can have no evidence, and you can have no reason.

It may be irrational to believe/worship in creatures that are clearly made up by an author who doesn't believe in the creature he describes, (See: Cthulhu) but a god that explains things rather then create more questions? (Not entirely true, but truer than Cthulhu)

The very existence of a god in any form inherently generates all manner of unanswerable questions.

Like?

A god that was written about since the biggining of writing?

Not even remotely true in any way, shape or form.

I suppose you've been back in time then, and have learned that everything billions of people know is wrong.

I believe in the god, and that monotheistic religion. I'll tell you now, one day, you will be cowering before a god, any god, and that god, will let you in to heaven graciously.

You're right, you're not going to heaven. (You dug that hole)

Sorry for the extreme amounts of religiousness, I just wanted to tell him how wrong he is.

Well you fucked that up, didn't you?

No, I did not. If I "Fucked it up", I wouldn't have posted it.

No, I'm saying that organised religions has its origins as a method of exercising state control over the populace.

The populace decides who it wants to follow. The pope isn't a dictator, and priests are not its thugs.

I find that you tend to criticize everything, because your sig only has one thing: Stupid quotes. You can't be wrong, can you?

[Norrisanada]

The world is obviously shaped like a fidget spinner

[Melqart]

Agreed.

[Salandriagado]

Who said I have no evidence?

You have provided none, so you have none until proven otherwise.

Not in the least.

Really? So I suppose you don't believe in extremely powerful forces like.... Gravity? Also, any reason it doesn't make sense. Sure... I can have no evidence, and you can have no reason.

Gravity is the single weakest force in the universe. No force is even remotely all powerful, largely on account of the inherent logical contradictions of such a force.

The very existence of a god in any form inherently generates all manner of unanswerable questions.

Like?

What created this god? Is this god omnipotent? Then can it create a rock that it cannot lift? If not, why are you calling it a god?

Not even remotely true in any way, shape or form.

I suppose you've been back in time then, and have learned that everything billions of people know is wrong.

No, it's just not true that any deity has been written about for all of written history. Monotheism is a relatively modern invention.

Got any evidence for that? No? Then it continues to be an irrational assumption.

You're right, you're not going to heaven. (You dug that hole)

I notice a complete lack of evidence.

No, I'm saying that organised religions has its origins as a method of exercising state control over the populace.

The populace decides who it wants to follow. The pope isn't a dictator, and priests are not its thugs.

That's true in some of the world now. For the last several thousand years of history, the church and the state were usually the same thing, and the former was encouraged primarily to protect the latter.

I find that you tend to criticize everything, because your sig only has one thing: Stupid quotes. You can't be wrong, can you?

I criticise everything, yes. My own posts included. I am wrong all the damned time. You are the one who is unwilling to actually analyse your own beliefs.

Why would NASA lie about the shapeof the Earth? I mean, lying about the moon landing has its benefits, lying about Earth's shape, I can't see any

Lying about the Earth's shape promotes the heresy of Round-Worldism preached by Galileo, Giordano Bruno, Newton the Protestant and Eratosthenes the Pagan.

Worse than that: ships and aeroplanes travel by great circles rather than straight lines because it uses less petrol. Those corporations put profit before the Catholic truth of Flat-Earthism.

Worse than that: these so called "scientists" don't even believe that that the World is round. At least a sphere is a thing. No. "Scientists" claim the Earth is flattened at the poles so it is an imperfect thing.

President Trump will write an Education Law to forbid teaching of Round-Worldism.

5hey don't want you to know about the underside of the disc

Not unless I'm an angel down from heaven, which, of course, I am.

Really? So I suppose you don't believe in extremely powerful forces like.... Gravity? Also, any reason it doesn't make sense. Sure... I can have no evidence, and you can have no reason.

Gravity is the single weakest force in the universe. No force is even remotely all powerful, largely on account of the inherent logical contradictions of such a force.

That is hilariously wrong. "The Single weakest force in the universe"? Gravity is the weakest force on earth. The universe is endless, and now you're making assumptions. That also does that mean it is weak.

Like?

What created this god? Is this god omnipotent? Then can it create a rock that it cannot lift? If not, why are you calling it a god?

I see you've heard of this. I'm sure a god can answer that paradox for you. The god was just.... There. Yes. Yes it can.

Not even remotely true in any way, shape or form.

I suppose you've been back in time then, and have learned that everything billions of people know is wrong.

No, it's just not true that any deity has been written about for all of written history. Monotheism is a relatively modern invention.

True.... But religion isn't modern.... The first book, The Epic of Gelgemesh, had many religious quotes, despite the religion.

You're right, you're not going to heaven. (You dug that hole)

I notice a complete lack of evidence.

Isn't it an assumption that I don't have evidence?

The populace decides who it wants to follow. The pope isn't a dictator, and priests are not its thugs.

That's true in some of the world now. For the last several thousand years of history, the church and the state were usually the same thing, and the former was encouraged primarily to protect the latter.

This is not that time period. Govs are no longer theocratic. How do you think the church got to control the state?

I find that you tend to criticize everything, because your sig only has one thing: Stupid quotes. You can't be wrong, can you?

I criticise everything, yes. My own posts included. I am wrong all the damned time. You are the one who is unwilling to actually analyse your own beliefs.

I see no evidence that I don't analyse my own beliefs.

Are you to lazy to use spoilers?

We have differing opinions. End of discussion.

So I've been doing a lot of browsing and reading lately and one of (what I thought at the time was) the strangest conspiracies I've came across was flat earth. I came across the Flat Earth Society, and my initial response to it was "fucking retards lmao there's proof from NASA" but then I got thinking - NASA lied to us about the moon landing, would they really not lie to us about the earth's shape? So I did some more reading, and I've came to the conclusion that the earth definitely isn't round, but it might not be flat either.

Anyway NS, I'm curious as to what your opinions are on this? Do you think the earth is flat? Do you think it's not round? Or do you believe NASA that it's round?

Round. Seriously, a flat Earth will be difficult to navigate by us, we will probably launched to space if we keep going straight at the edge with airplanes, physically impossible, and this universe is 3D. Also, where did you get the idea that the moon landing is a dirty lie?

goddness theology political, or social discussion (as defined byMarx and Engels followers, who pose it) is, quite unfortunately, out of date. We live in deeper times nowadays, where opinion polls have replaced god as people's opium.

The margine thing they both used flat earth thing in their records, perhaps mostly as emphatic way, same way different campaigns both in tv and papers use nice women appreciation's as an argument; this thing isn t the core dylemn. Opinion polls discussion page urges.

That was a very long-winded way to say nothing.
