Poppycock. Sir Bedevere proved it is banana-shaped.

On the other hand, my chances as an American of having a Christian in power depriving me or others who I care for of their liberty are very, very high. I'm more concerned about radical Christianity than radical Islam, even though the second is much more violent.

The world, and everything in it including consciousness, is a computer simulation and exists only as a computer simulation. The computer is programmed to the creators limited understanding of physics and such which is why you get all the weird shit that happens in quantum physics etc. They had to fill in the bits they didn't understand to the best of their ability. The "real" world that houses the computer makes much more sense.

Shouldn't the "proveth" be something else given that "images" is plural?

True, plural would simple be "prove", even in archaic... missed that one.... Actually the whole sentence needs a grammatical rewrite to "Mine realistic coloured images doth prove that thine Earth be round, liken unto a disk, yet flat."

Postby Lonely villia » Thu Dec 30, 2010 3:57 pm

Greetings oh spirits of the internet.

The people of Lonely Villia are bemused by your insistance on the existance of a thing you call the world.

Clearly there is Lonely villia, beautiful and perfect, there are the six oceans that bring us gifts and there is the great Fiberoptic Cable that lies to the north. This is the extent of all that exists - everything else is supposition and superstition lacking emperical evidence.

We the people of Lonely villia thank you oh web ghosts for your information (how to build explosives was a personal childhood favorite), Your entertainments (oh those funny funny cat pictures) and your willingness to pretend to be actual people for our comfort.

Your humble communicator

I was born about Thirteen Thousand Three Hundred and Eighteen years before thy lord and do thou trust me, friend, this topic is far shallower than it looks. It doth afford one some amusement in an idle moment, however.
