OOTB's Political Thread . ..

I guess that would explain all those religious zealots stepping out in front of buses...no, wait.


Isn't faith belief? Do you believe in science? Then you have faith in it, although you can't prove any of it.



fear of the unknown, for example, is an evolutionary development that keeps us from traipsing into the woods at night to see what's making that growling sound. That's our built-in self-coercion trying to save our ass so that we can make more self-coercers.. That's generally seen as a good thing. And just because not 'everything we conjure up' is real, it doesn't follow that everything we believe isn't.
Fine... God is going to throw you in hell if you don't do what HE says. And, for you, that will be spending "eternity" watching Brokeback Mountain. Yay Science!
 
There’s a show made by and starring ricky gervais on Netflix about an atheist planning to kill himself after his wife dies of cancer. It’s a dark comedy but has some powerful scenes dealing with after life and religion and such. And it’s not all “anti-god”. He befriends a Christian lady who he meets at the cemetery where both their loved ones are buried and they have some awesome discussions. This scene here should have won him an emmy

 
That’s the prevailing theory. Knowing about stuff like that is one of the perks of reading books other than the Bible.
I love to read and study physics. It's probably short of being an actual hobby, but I think it's safe to say it's a pastime of mine. It seems probable to me that travelling at the speed of light causes space to shrink and time to stand still. I know 'about' that sort of thing, and that's where I get off. I believe it but reading a million books (I almost have ) and having known Richard Feynman personally ( I didn't ) won't get me any closer to explaining how that works because I know my built-in limitations.

I'm also fairly well familiar with the Bible and Christianity and other religions. Not being able to explain exactly how any of that works doesn't keep me from believing in a higher power, or believing that the teachings of Jesus are an excellent guide to how we should conduct ourselves.

As I pointed out previously, what any of us thinks we 'know' because we read it in a book doesn't amount to a hill of beans. What matters is what we believe, And I defy you to try to demonstrate in absolute terms that your belief is more valid than mine, or vice versa. Believe what you will, and everything else is just food for thought.

It won a lot more than an emmy. That is an awesome series.

It was an awesome series and should be much more watched. Not what people would expect from Gervais I would guess.

It surprised me. And, Gervais surprises me all the time. It's something I look forward to!

I used to binge watch the old HBO Ricky Gervais Show. The animated broadcast series.

so your answer, as it often is, is to decide for me what I believe, so that you can then ridicule it. That's a recurring theme with you. Wouldn't it be something if you were actually open-minded and understood that if you can't prove that something is or isn't true, then it's sensible to not discount anything?

You'll appreciate this. If I go to hell and find myself watching Brokeback Mountain, the devil will have succeeded in getting me to do something that God couldn't, or wouldn't make me do. Yay God!

Religious fuk nuttery as displayed by you is the biggest threat to the us.
Just had to bring up your BS again...after a muslim killed people in New Orleans and a white Demoncrat blew up himself in a Tesla at the Trump Hotel because he hates Trump. His wife ranted a lot on Facebook about hating Trump.

Domestic terrorists are muslims and left-wing scum. Oh, the muslim in the NO attack was also once a registered....Demoncrat.

Also, both were in the Army....I thought you said I was. Where are all those Bible thumpers running over people at the Sugar Bowl???
 
An absurd theory would be inventing a supernatural creator to explain something that nobody quite has all the answers too. Especially when that fairy tale is based on Bronze Age bullshit from morons that were wandering around the desert 2000 years ago. One critical look at the bible makes it obvious we should not be using it as source material for understanding the origin of the universe.

Quantum fluctuations describe the sometimes unpredictable behavioral patterns of quarks and neutrinos. That produces uneven energy levels in an otherwise contained system that could absolutely be the catalyst for a massive chain reaction.

The observable universe provides us with a massive amount of data from which we can conclude the universe is expanding from a central point. The Hubble Telescope pretty much eliminated any doubt of that by observing the Red Light Shift.

The mechanism for it to exist is gravity. Think of it like a black hole. A black hole creates intense gravitational waves as a result of its tremendous mass warping space and pulling everything around it towards itself. Now imagine every black hole and all of the other mass and energy in the universe at a focused point. Gravity holds the thing together until the quantum fluctuations produce an asymmetry that results in a massive chain reaction that triggers enough energy to escape the gravitational field of the singularity.

The singularity is not really in question. It’s verified by math. The questions come from trying to understand what was happening while the singularity was intact and other more complex questions of theoretical physics. But every piece of evidence from astronomy tells us the universe is expanding from a singular point. We can model the entire observable universe based on calculus that integrates that assumption with Newtonian mechanics. Calling it absurd is just ignorant.
All of that empty ranting BS.
 
If we all can’t agree with this, there is no hope for our country.
We dodged a bullet the cackling CA whore lost to Trump, because she had visions of Trillions more in pork spending for her friends, donors and family. More green energy scams where left-wing scum take tax dollars and run off once they declare bankruptcy (see Solyndra). More money to Ukraine where demoncrats funnel tax dollars to "their" NGOs where they steal millions.

Trump needs to investigate the billions biden has been sending this past 6 months to Ukraine in a binge spending spree...catch the thieves with a new FBI. Connect the dots back to biden, pelosi, kerry, clinton, schumer, etc.

Eventually under the cackling buffoon harris, it would get to the point where the only thing in the USG budget would be entitlements and debt interest payments, the DoD would implode and the Chinese and Russians would thank their demoncrat friends for handing over the world to them. Marxism would win like predicted by infiltrating the US from within.

My answer is to decide what you believe for you? No, sorry, that's not my answer.

I've noticed that everyone (or, everyone that has a Sky Daddy/Male God) has their own, unique idea of what that "God" does, wants, needs, and requires. And, each of those unique ideas is infallibly true... to them. It's a completely human construct. I just find it amusing, and kind of disgusting, when they run out of bread crumbs and resort to the "You're going to burn in hell if you don't believe". And, if they see you as some kind of social/political enemy, they want you to burn in hell. They love revenge... revenge feels good! The gym rat is special because he's trying to tie-in some kind of pseudo-scientific gibberish as proof that the He-Brew God is THE ONLY god.

She is a whore, she slept her way around CA to get promoted. Willie Brown wouldn't even support her today.

You have this fake view of Christians due to weak southern ones who are supposed to blush when offended by you scum. Even some of them voted for biden over Trump's tweets or did not vote in 2020....but they came to regret empowering you evil scum.

Those too afraid to speak about you being evil, condone it. Jesus said he did not come here to bring Peace, he would sew division between good and evil.

God gave you a choice and so far you have screwed it up, but keep going.

You are like the criminal on the cross that mocked Jesus to save himself from the cross to prove that he was the Messiah.

FYI the other non Judeo-Christian religions are fake. They are headed to hell with you....

My favorite so far. It's funny how he brandishes his UNC degree. UNC chapel Hill is the most commie-pinko-leftist institution east of Berkeley. He should have gone to Bob Jones or Liberty.
No scumbag there are normal people at UNC too, but you did not attend UNC so your low IQ brain just chirps the stereotype about UNC.

Given your moniker, you must be a garage band that helps pay for your trailer and internet access.

you posted an answer to my post. In your post, you asserted what my belief is supposed to be. You didn't ask me what my beliefs are. You said, "God is going to throw you in hell if you don't do what HE says". Obviously that isn't your argument, so it must be assigned to me by you. So yes, you answer was to decide for me what I believe.

"to them". OK. Is there some reason to think that we all as individuals can't have have our own individual ideas and perceptions? Not seeing the problem you seem to be trying to indicate. In my case, I do NOT have a specific notion of what God is. That's why I usually try to say that I believe in a 'higher power', as I've done here.

Um, no. Just no. Yeah, the faculty are mostly wackos as far as their politics, but perhaps you are just unaware of numerous institutions on the east coast. I wouldn't be surprised if some of them would have kicked out all the frat guys rescuing the flag or worse, tried to charge them with a crime.

Be glad you live in the 21st century. Your religion would have burned you at the stake for such notions two centuries ago. You'd burn on earth, for real, where you'd actually have to feel it.

2 centuries ago was 1824 and here in the United States. I get you may be a little ignorant of history but man, that is one ignorant, stupid comment.

Very recently, in the scope of what we call time, you would have been burning heretics alive because of your need to appease the He-Brew god. Now, all you're allowed to do is threaten me with eternal damnation through the internets. Not as sexy, but... at least you can still feel superior!

Actually idiot, most of the sciences were supported by the Church back in the "dark ages." Those philosophers and scientists believed in God, yet you don't....what an idiot.

Christianity has done more good than harm since its inception. Sure there have been times when rogue rulers used the cross to pillage, but that is less than the good from Christianity. Christians in the US give more in charity than lowlifes like you that are only living your life for yourself until your terrible end.
