It gives us essential life, and along with the earth, is quite literally our creator, yet it should not be revered, respected, honored, nor should we be thankful of it? I can certainly agree with you - people are so naive.

What of the religions that no one serves to gain anything from - those that encourage personal worship, independent thought, and spiritual exploration? Those that see no reason not to accept scientific findings? Those with no centralized authority, or no authority whatsoever? You imply that...

Do you feel that you choose to believe in the power of Christ? Remember that by saying that you choose, you are implying that there is a choice. To determine if it's truly a choice, ask yourself this question, Would it be possible for you to not to believe in the power of Christ? Could you...

I didn't choose to become one.

I'm not sure how else I can explain it. I'll implore you to re-read Pad's original post. You aren't CHOOSING to believe this. Not belieiving them is not an option available to you - no matter how hard you tried to choose not to believe in evolution, you wouldn't be convinced. Sorry if I'm not...

In a period of 4000 years? Biology fail :wall: Crap like this is further proof of my point. No one would actually choose to believe this. Belief is not a choice.

a. That's not even a picture of the thing - the one they found is buried underground. b. the entire basis of noahs ark literally happening and carrying 2 of every species is completely ridiculous for a nearly unlimited number of reasons. Please understand that mythology is not to be taken...

No you don't. These aren't choices you are making. I can choose to reply to this post or not. I can choose to take a drink of my water or not to. If it's a choice, then just for a minute - choose to believe in god or choose to believe that the earth is flat. You can't, because you won't...

It's not anomaly hunting. It would seem to me that with the growing popularity of crp circles as well as more and more widespread knowledge of the techniques for making them is spread via the internet, that the majority of crop circles, especially recent ones, would be man made. The minority...

Al that being said, they are still not CHOOSING their beliefs. You believe something, or you don't. If you "choose" to believe something, that's called lying to yourself.

Asserting that this is a trait of "the religious" is no different than claiming atheists deny the existence of a god. In fact, this goes beyond that and is akin to claiming everyone who isn't Christian denies the existence of a god. You are talking about a radical, minor subset of one out of...

Skeptical that it defied physics, not skeptical that we cannot explain it. Note my response did not say "believing that it defies aerodynamics", but "believing that it defies known aerodynamics." Nearly impossible. For whatever non-human entities are making these circles, to create working...

The bees being unable to fly thing was debunked quite some time ago - the guy who originally said it was drunk, and made some mathematical errors when jotting shit down on a napkin, including using the forumlas required for a fixed-wing aircraft rather than something with moving wings such as an...

Seems to me the explanation can be found right in the name of the place - They're racing. Why are people disallowed from going there when there might be water? If this is the prevailing theory, wouldn't it make the most sense to allow researchers to test this? If the proposed explanation is...

Now you're the one spreading negativity. Whatever may have happened between you and FDD is in the past, and unrelated to this discussion. I suggest you ground and center, and release that energy to the earth with the intent of it being transformed into something positive.

I could be mistaken, but I don't think H made this claim, but was simply using it as an example. I'm sure he'll correct me if I'm wrong.

Questioning is appropriate, as is challenging. Insulting someone's intelligence is never appropriate. Acting like you don't know this or don't know the difference is disingenuous.

Not a single person that I've ever met who works with Fae is ashamed of the fact that other people don't think they exist, much less ashamed about their own "beliefs". That said, they also don't approach people with no knowledge on the subject and berate them about being wrong or stupid for not...

I didn't know it was quiz time prof... But I believe, based on your previous definition, the fallacy would be that it requires too many assumptions: a. there is extraterrestrial intelligent life b. said extraterrestrial life is capable of interstellar travel c. this interstellar...

While spiritual "energy" may not fit the scientific definition of energy, it acts in a similar fashion. I find it difficult to explain the phenomena of various different types of magic without any form of energy being involved. An explanation may be found in that energy doesn't act exactly the...
